陷阱
⚠️overly ambitious:宏大但含「不切实际」的警示
Critics argued that the city's overly ambitious redevelopment scheme would strain the municipal budget and could not be delivered on time.
overly ambitious = very ambitious(非常雄心勃勃,正面形容)
overly ambitious(过于雄心勃勃)在学术和政策文章中通常含「不切实际、难以实现」的批评意味;ambitious 本身中性偏正面,overly 把它推向「超出合理范围」的负面;此句 overly ambitious redevelopment scheme = 批评该计划过于激进,暗含风险警示,不是褒扬
批评人士认为,该城市过于激进的重建计划将给市政预算带来压力,且可能无法按时交付。(overly ambitious = 批评:计划过于宏大,不切实际)
⚠️ambitious 修饰人 vs. 修饰事物,语义完全不同
The research institute is looking for ambitious scientists with an ambitious commitment to advancing medical knowledge.
该研究机构正在寻找有雄心的科学家,他们对推动医学知识进步有着坚定的投入。(× ambitious commitment → ✓ strong commitment)
此处第二个 ambitious 修饰 commitment(承诺/投入),但 commitment 是抽象名词,ambitious 不自然修饰它;ambitious 主要修饰人(有雄心的)或计划/目标(宏大的),修饰 commitment 应改为 strong / unwavering commitment
The research institute is looking for ambitious scientists with a strong commitment to advancing medical knowledge.
该研究机构正在寻找有抱负的科学家,他们对推动医学知识进步有着强烈的投入。
