combative

形容一个人、态度或语气好斗，容易主动与人争斗或对抗，通常带贬义。

💡 记忆钩子

把一个人想象成随时准备挥拳、也随时准备顶嘴的人：身体上想打架，言语和态度上也爱对抗，这种“总要迎战”的感觉就是 combative。

📝 学习建议

不要把 combative 只理解成“有竞争力”或“勇于竞争”；它通常强调好斗、对抗性强，常带负面评价。

📖 中文释义

adj

core 好斗的；爱对抗的

📖 形容一个人总像准备迎战一样，容易与别人争执、冲突，甚至想要打斗；也可以形容这种人的态度或语气。

💡 常用“be combative”或“a combative + 名词”，例如描述人、态度、语气或作风。这个词通常带批评意味，表示对抗性过强，而不是称赞一个人积极进取；它既可用于实际冲突，也可用于争论中的言语对抗。
