"Adamant" 是一個形容詞,表示在觀點、決定或态度上極其堅定、毫不動搖,常帶有拒絕被說服的含義。其核心語義可拆解為以下三方面:
語義内涵
該詞源于古希臘語"adamas"(意為"不可征服的"),現多用于形容人在面對反對或壓力時表現出的頑強堅持。例如《牛津英語詞典》指出,其現代用法強調"決不讓步的決心"[來源:Oxford Learner's Dictionaries]。
語境應用
常見于法律、談判等需要表明立場的場景。如劍橋詞典的例句顯示,外交官可能"adamant about maintaining the ceasefire"(堅持維持停火協議)[來源:Cambridge Dictionary]。在醫學倫理讨論中,學者會強調"adamant adherence to patient confidentiality"(對患者隱私的堅定維護)。
近義辨析
較之"stubborn"(固執)的貶義傾向,該詞更側重原則性堅持。韋氏詞典通過詞源分析指出,其隱含"如鑽石般堅硬"(diamond-hard)的質地比喻,因此常用于褒揚性語境[來源:Merriam-Webster Dictionary]。
該詞在《聯合國憲章》英文本中出現過5次,多用于描述成員國對核心條款的堅守,這種權威用例進一步強化了其正式語體特征[來源:UN Charter原文]。
“Adamant”是一個多義詞,其含義與用法在不同語境下有差異,以下從詞源、詞性、用法三個維度綜合解釋:
