optimism
含义: Hopefulness and confidence about the future or the successful outcome of something.
Optimism denotes a disposition to expect favourable outcomes and to focus on positive possibilities rather than potential failures. In everyday usage, it describes a cheerful and forward-looking temperament. In philosophy, it refers to the doctrine, associated with Leibniz, that this world is the best of all possible worlds. The word commonly collocates with 'cautious,' 'guarded,' 'boundless,' and 'misplaced,' and appears frequently in economic forecasts, political speeches, and self-help literature. Optimism is contrasted with pessimism and is closely related to hope, though optimism implies a more settled disposition.
