1. 1

    If a person, a feeling, or a force is implacable, it will not . You cannot calm it, buy it off, or wait it out. An implacable enemy keeps coming.

    If a person, a feeling, or a force is implacable,如果一個人、一種感覺,或一股力量是implacable的, it will not soften.它就不會軟化。 You cannot calm it, buy it off, or wait it out.你沒辦法安撫它、收買它,也沒辦法等它自己過去。 An implacable enemy implacable的敵人 keeps coming.會一直來。

    Implausible hatred — no: implacable hatred — does not fade because you said you were sorry. It is a strong, rather literary word. News writers like “implacable opposition.” Though actually, it does not only describe people: a storm, a disease, or “implacable logic” can wear the word too, meaning nothing you do will change its course.

    Implausible hatred — no: implacable hatred不是implausible hatred,是implacable hatred — does not fade because you said you were sorry.不會因為你道歉了就消退。 It is a strong, rather literary word.這是一個語氣很強、偏文學的字。 News writers like新聞寫手很愛用 "implacable opposition."「implacable opposition」,毫不妥協的反對。 Though actually,不過其實, it does not only describe people:它不只可以形容人: a storm, a disease, or "implacable logic" can wear the word too,一場暴風雨、一種疾病,或「implacable logic」也可以用這個字, meaning nothing you do will change its course.意思是你做什麼都改變不了它的走向。

    It is not the same as being angry for a minute. The point is that the opposition does not melt. Formal, but you will see it in serious articles.

    It is not the same as being angry for a minute.它跟一時生氣不一樣。 The point is that重點是 the opposition does not melt.那個反對不會融化、不會軟下來。 Formal,語氣正式, but you will see it in serious articles.但你會在正經的文章裡看到它。
