hope
This word carries a strong emotional charge of optimism, often existing in the tension between desire and uncertainty. It is distinct from wishing, which can be purely imaginative or impossible; hope implies a perceived possibility that the desired outcome can actually occur. In social contexts, it functions as a bridge between current hardship and future relief. It can be used as a fragile anchor in desperate situations or as a driving force for ambition and progress, shifting the mood from passive longing to active anticipation.
Countable when referring to a specific desire or a person who inspires others (a beacon of hope). Uncountable when referring to the general emotional state of optimism.
意味
A feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen.
"There is still hope for a recovery."
