Tips

register
Literary/dramatic register. Often paired with 大略 to form 雄图大略 ('grand strategy'), almost always in writing about historical figures, founders, or major leaders. For everyday ambition, use 抱负 or 雄心.
memory
= 'masculine / heroic / grand' (think 雄壮 'majestic'); here means 'plan / scheme' (as in 企图, 'attempt'). 'Heroic plan' - exactly the connotation of English 'grand design'.
