If someone is intransigent, they will not change their ideas or behaviour, and it seems unreasonable. You can also call that person an intransigent — a noun for the stubborn one. It is a formal, slightly sharp word, common in news about talks that go nowhere. It is stronger than “firm” and less everyday than “stubborn.” Though actually, two nearby spellings trip students: transient (lasting a short time) looks a little like it but has nothing to do with this; and intransigent is not about being “in transit.” The heart of the word is “will not come to a deal.” The person who is called intransigent may feel they are standing on principle; the speaker who chooses this word is already saying that the refusal has gone too far.
不妥協的;不肯讓步的
組成Borrowed from French intransigeant, from Spanish intransigente, from Latin in- (“un-, not”) + trānsigēns, present participle of trānsigō (“to come to an understanding”), from trāns (“across”) + agō (“to do”).
