Ambivalent
Ambivalent 是一个形容词。当你感到 ambivalent 时，你的内心是不确定的，因为你同时看到了事物的正反两面。
- He has an ambivalent attitude towards his job; he likes the money but hates the stress. (他对工作持矛盾态度；他喜欢薪水但讨厌压力。)
- Many people are ambivalent about the new technology. (许多人对这项新技术感到忧喜参半。)
- She felt ambivalent about moving to a new city. (她对搬到一个新城市感到犹豫不决。)
- 词根：
ambi-(两个，如 ambidextrous) +valent(力量，如 value) - 含义：两种力量在较量 -> 矛盾。
记：ambi- (二) + valent (力量)。脑子里有两种力量在打架，这就是 ambivalent。
