Tips
usage
野心勃勃 almost always has a negative or at least cautionary tone — the ambition is seen as dangerous, unrestrained, or self-serving. Compare 雄心壮志 which is positive (noble aspirations).
memory
野 (wild) + 心 (heart/ambition) + 勃勃 (vigorous, energetic — reduplicated for intensity). Literally: wild heart bursting with energy.
