| 語Word | 向き+/− | 強さStrength | 意味Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| adamant adj | 0 | ● | refusing to be moved or persuaded — 断固譲らない |
| dogmatic adj | − | ●● | insisting on unproven beliefs as if certain — 独断的 |
| implacable adj | − | ●●● | impossible to calm or satisfy — なだめられない |
| incorrigible adj | − | ●● | beyond correcting — 懲りない |
| inexorable adj | 0 | ●●● | impossible to stop or plead with — 止められないimplacable が「なだめられない感情」に使われるのに対し、inexorable は時間や流れなど止まらない力に使います。implacable is for a person or feeling that no amount of soothing will calm, while inexorable is usually for a force such as time or a process that simply cannot be halted or pleaded with. |
| intractable adj | − | ●● | not manageable or solvable — 手に負えないobstinate が人の性格を指すのに対し、intractable は問題や状況が解決できないときによく使います。obstinate describes a person who refuses to yield; intractable usually describes a problem or situation that refuses to be solved or handled. |
| intransigent adj | − | ●●● | refusing to budge from a position — 妥協しない |
| obdurate adj | − | ●●● | hardened against persuasion or pity — 冷酷なまでに頑固obstinate と違い、obdurate は頼まれても心を動かさない冷たさを含みます。obstinate is simply refusing to give in, while obdurate adds a hardness that stays unmoved even when someone pleads for pity. |
| obstinate adj | − | ●● | refusing to yield — 頑固 |
| pertinacious adj | 0 | ●● | clinging to a position with stubborn persistence — しつこく固執obstinate と違い、pertinacious は粘り強さとして褒める使い方もできます。obstinate almost always sounds like a criticism, while pertinacious can be praise, since clinging to your position that hard may read as admirable persistence. |
| recalcitrant adj | − | ●● | openly resisting control — 反抗的 |
| restive adj | 0 | ● | impatient under restraint — 束縛に苛立つ |
