「aggressive」帶有攻擊性、強迫或敵意；「assertive」則是自信、堅定地表達自己，但不具攻擊性。
aggressive vs forceful
「aggressive」強調主動攻擊或征服的意圖；「forceful」則強調力量、說服力或有效性，但不一定帶有敵意。
aggressive vs hostile
「aggressive」描述積極進取或具攻擊性的行為；「hostile」則明確表示敵意、對抗或不友善的態度。

EN:Well, it's an aggressive—some might say overly aggressive—strategy.

注意：在正式書寫（如學術論文、商業報告）中，應避免上述口語用法，並使用更精確、客觀的詞彙來描述行為或策略，例如 "assertive", "forceful", "vigorous" 或 "combative"，並提供具體證據，而非依賴語氣或停頓來傳達意思。

「aggressive」在英文中主要意為「積極進取的、有幹勁的」，或指「（行動、策略等）強勢的、激進的」。它不一定與「易怒」或「脾氣暴躁」直接相關。若想表達「易怒」，應使用「short-tempered」、「irritable」或「hot-tempered」。
×He spoke to me very aggressive.
✓He spoke to me very aggressively.
「aggressive」是形容詞，用來修飾名詞（如 an aggressive tone）。當修飾動詞（如 spoke）時，必須使用副詞形式「aggressively」。
×We need to be more aggressive to finish the project on time.
✓We need to be more diligent / work harder to finish the project on time.
「aggressive」通常描述一種帶有強烈企圖心、競爭性或對抗性的態度或方式，不直接用來表示「努力」或「勤奮」。對於按時完成專案，更自然的說法是強調「努力」、「勤奮」或「有效率」。
×This medicine is very aggressive to the virus.
✓This medicine is very potent / effective against the virus.

✓I feel annoyed / angry when someone cuts in line.
「aggressive」描述的是行為或性格特質，而非一種短暫的情緒感受。當描述因某事而產生的情緒時，應使用「angry」、「annoyed」、「frustrated」等詞。
