死心塌地

• ピンイン: sǐ xīn tā dì
• 漢字の分解: 死 = 歹 + 匕 — death; 心 = pictograph — heart; 塌 = 土 (earth) + 塌 — to collapse; 地 = 土 + 也 — ground, earth

意味

心底から献身する／一途に忠誠を尽くす

Can carry either a positive nuance (devoted loyalty) or a slightly negative one (stubbornly committed to something regardless of consequences). Often used to describe someone who has given their complete emotional allegiance — to a leader, a lover, or an ideology — and will not be persuaded otherwise. More vivid and colloquial than simply 坚定.

例文

1. 她对这份事业死心塌地，即便面临重重困境也从未动摇过退出的念头。
2. 他跟随这位导师已有十年，可谓死心塌地，无论外界如何评价都毫不动摇。
3. 这批追随者对领袖死心塌地，即便政策屡屡失误，他们也始终坚持为其辩护。
