animosity vs antipathy
animosity 是強烈且主動的敵意，常伴隨衝突意圖；antipathy 則是一種較被動、基於本能反感的厭惡或不喜歡。
animosity vs enmity
animosity 和 enmity 都指強烈敵意，但 enmity 更正式、更持久，常指根深蒂固的世仇或長期敵對狀態。
在轉述他人感受或描述普遍存在的敵意時，常用來緩和語氣，表示這並非說話者本人的直接指控。 EN: There's a lot of animosity between the two departments, from what I've heard. 翻譯: 就我所聽到的，那兩個部門之間存在著很多敵意。
EN:She didn't say it directly, but you could sense the animosity in her tone.

EN:It's not just a disagreement; it's more like... a real animosity has developed.

正式書寫注意：在學術或正式商業寫作中，應避免上述口語填充詞（如 "well", "like"）及過於主觀的強調（如 "just palpable"）。建議使用更精確、客觀的表述，例如 "a profound animosity", "the animosity was evident"，或直接分析其成因與影響。

×We have an animosity discussion.

×He looked at me with animosity eyes.
✓He looked at me with animosity. / He gave me an animosity look.

✓I don't have any animosity toward(s) him. / There is no animosity between us.
表示「對某人懷有敵意」用 "animosity toward(s) someone"。表示「兩者之間存在敵意」用 "animosity between A and B"。通常不用 "with"。
