arrogance vs pride
「arrogance」強調因自視過高而表現出的輕蔑與無禮；「pride」則可指正當的自尊或自豪感，但過度時可能接近傲慢。
arrogance vs conceit
「arrogance」側重行為上表現出的高傲態度；「conceit」更強調內心對自身能力或價值的過度自滿與誇大。
arrogance vs haughtiness
「arrogance」是總稱的傲慢；「haughtiness」特指因自認地位優越而表現出的冷淡、輕蔑的傲慢。
用於引述他人對某人的批評或觀察，常與「那種」、「這種」等詞搭配，使語氣較為間接。 EN: He has that kind of arrogance that makes teamwork impossible. 翻譯: 他帶有那種讓團隊合作無法進行的傲慢。
EN:I can't stand the arrogance she shows whenever she's right.

EN:His arrogance, you know, it really pushes people away.

正式書寫注意：在學術或正式商業寫作中，應避免將「arrogance」用於口語化的停頓或過於情緒化的強調。建議使用更中性的詞彙如「overconfidence」或「presumptuousness」，並提供具體行為描述來支持論點，而非僅依賴該詞本身的情感色彩。
