含义: Refusing to be persuaded or to change one's mind; utterly firm and unyielding.

Que se niega a dejarse persuadir o a cambiar de opinión; absolutamente firme e inflexible.

Adamant describes an absolute refusal to budge from a position. Unlike 'resolute' (which is typically admiring), adamant can be either positive or negative depending on context — it can imply admirable firmness or frustrating stubbornness. It is commonly followed by 'that' (she was adamant that...) or 'about' (he was adamant about...). It collocates with 'refusal,' 'opposition,' 'insistence,' and 'denial.'

'adamant'描述的是对某个立场的绝对不退让。与'resolute'（通常带有赞赏意味）不同，'adamant'可以是褒义的也可以是贬义的，取决于语境——它可能暗示令人钦佩的坚定，也可能暗示令人沮丧的顽固。该词通常后接'that'（she was adamant that...）或'about'（he was adamant about...）。它常与'refusal''opposition''insistence'和'denial'搭配使用。

Adamant describe una negativa absoluta a ceder en una posición. A diferencia de «resolute» (que suele ser elogioso), adamant puede ser positivo o negativo según el contexto: puede implicar una firmeza admirable o una testarudez frustrante. Suele ir seguido de «that» (she was adamant that...) o «about» (he was adamant about...). Se combina con «refusal», «opposition», «insistence» y «denial».

「adamant」は、ある立場から絶対に動かないことを表す。「resolute」（通常は称賛的）とは異なり、adamantは文脈によって肯定的にも否定的にもなり得る——称賛すべき固さを示す場合も、苛立たしい頑固さを示す場合もある。通常「that」（she was adamant that...）または「about」（he was adamant about...）が後に続く。「refusal」「opposition」「insistence」「denial」と共起する。

Adamant는 어떤 입장에서도 절대 물러서지 않겠다는 거부를 나타냅니다. '결연한(resolute)'이 일반적으로 긍정적인 뉘앙스를 가지는 것과 달리, adamant는 문맥에 따라 긍정적일 수도 부정적일 수도 있습니다 — 감탄할 만한 확고함을 나타낼 수도 있고, 답답한 고집을 암시할 수도 있습니다. 주로 'that'(she was adamant that...)이나 'about'(he was adamant about...)과 함께 쓰입니다. 'refusal(거부)', 'opposition(반대)', 'insistence(고집)', 'denial(부인)'과 잘 어울립니다.
