recalcitrant
意味: Having an obstinately uncooperative attitude towards authority or discipline; stubbornly resistant to control.
Recalcitrant implies active resistance or defiance, not merely passive stubbornness. It suggests someone who kicks back against authority or control. It can also describe things that are difficult to manage or treat (recalcitrant infections, recalcitrant materials). It collocates with 'student,' 'member,' 'debtor,' 'behaviour,' and 'infection.'
