1. 1敵意;強烈的反感、憎惡

    Animosity is a strong dislike that lasts — nearer to hate than to a bad day. You can feel it toward a person, a group, or even a country. People may smile in the room and still hold animosity underneath. It is a fairly formal word. At home you might say they can’t stand each other, or there’s bad blood. Papers and essays like it because it sounds careful. You can speak of animosity between two people or between two sides.
