「推它，它不動」。一個人兩腳釘在地上，你怎麼拉他都不改姿勢；一扇門你使勁推，它就是不開；一塊污漬你搓了半天，它還在那裡。stubborn 描述的不是「有力氣反抗」，而是「不讓步」——外力明明來了，它就是維持原狀。有趣的是這個畫面本身不帶好壞：同一個「不動」，用在別人身上叫固執，用在困難上叫難搞，用在自己的堅持上就成了頑強。Two branches

hard to get rid of · adjective · B1
Very hard to remove, clean off, or deal with — used about a mark that will not wash out, a lid that will not turn, or a problem that keeps coming back.
難清除；難搞的
