一般來說，談論具體目標時用「ambitious to do」，描述在特定領域的抱負狀態時則用「ambitious in doing」。
ambitious vs aspiring
「ambitious」強調有強烈的企圖心與追求成功的決心，常帶有積極進取甚至野心勃勃的意味；「aspiring」則側重於渴望達到某個目標或地位，但企圖心與行動力的強度通常不如「ambitious」。
ambitious vs enterprising
「ambitious」著重於個人對成功、權力或成就的強烈渴望；「enterprising」則強調在商業或事業上具有創新精神、主動性和善於把握機會的特質。
ambitious vs assertive
「ambitious」描述的是對成就的內在渴望與目標；「assertive」描述的則是自信、果斷表達自己想法與維護自身權益的外在行為方式。
用來引述他人對某人的評價或目標，常與「說」、「形容」等動詞搭配。 EN: She said her new boss is incredibly ambitious. 翻譯: 她說她的新老闆非常有野心。
EN:People often describe him as ambitious, but I think he's just driven.

EN:It was an ambitious, you know, maybe even risky move for the company.
翻譯:對公司來說，那是個有抱負的，你知道，甚至可能有點冒險的舉動。
正式寫作注意：在正式報告或學術寫作中，應避免使用口語中的停頓填充（如「you know」）及過於主觀的語氣副詞（如「way too」）。建議使用更精確的形容詞（如「overambitious」、「highly ambitious」）並提供具體證據來支持論點。

×He has an ambitious.
✓He is ambitious.
「ambitious」是形容詞，不能直接當成名詞使用。要描述一個人有雄心壯志，應使用「be ambitious」的結構。
×He is ambitious to become a manager.
✓He is ambitious to become a manager. (Acceptable but less common) / He has ambitions to become a manager. / He is ambitious about becoming a manager.
「ambitious」後接不定詞「to do」在文法上可以接受，但較不常見。更自然的用法是使用名詞「ambitions」搭配「to do」或「for」，或形容詞「ambitious」搭配「about」。
×His ambitious plan was perfectly executed and well-received. (Using 'ambitious' where 'ambitious' might imply unrealistic or overly aggressive)
✓His ambitious plan was perfectly executed and well-received. (Context makes it positive) / His bold/innovative/ambitious plan was...
「ambitious」本身為中性詞，可指「有雄心的」（褒義）或「好高騖遠的」（貶義）。在明確為正面的語境中，若擔心引起「不切實際」的誤解，可選用更明確的褒義詞如「bold」（大膽的）、「innovative」（創新的）。但原句在完整上下文下是可接受的。
×The instructions were very ambitious, so I didn't understand them.
✓The instructions were very ambiguous, so I didn't understand them.
這是常見的拼寫或發音混淆錯誤。「Ambitious」（有雄心的）與「Ambiguous」（模糊不清的）是完全不同的單字，意思和用法皆不同。
×The job is very ambitious.
✓The job is very challenging/demanding. / She is very ambitious in her job.
「ambitious」主要用於描述人或其計畫、目標等，極少直接用於描述事物（如工作、任務）。描述事物本身具有挑戰性，應使用「challenging」、「demanding」等形容詞。
