pride

Ngoại động từ[C/U] Cả hai

Số nhiều: prides

This word carries a dual nature, oscillating between a positive sense of self-worth and a negative sense of arrogance. When associated with achievement or identity, it evokes a feeling of warmth, dignity, and rightful satisfaction. It is the emotional reward for hard work or a sense of belonging to a respected group. Conversely, in a moral or social context, it often describes a rigid refusal to be humble. This version of pride is seen as a barrier to growth or reconciliation, creating a cold, defensive wall that isolates the individual from others. It is the kind of pride that leads to a fall.

Uncountable when referring to the emotional state of satisfaction or arrogance. Countable when referring to a specific group of lions.
