grandiose
意味: Impressive and imposing in appearance or style, but often excessively ambitious or pretentious.
Grandiose typically carries negative connotations, suggesting that something is trying too hard to be impressive or is unrealistically ambitious. 'Grandiose plans' are likely to fail; a 'grandiose building' may be impressive but tasteless. In psychology, 'grandiose delusions' describe an inflated sense of self-importance. Occasionally used neutrally to describe genuinely impressive scale.
