hesitancy
EN: 'Hesitancy' is more formal and often used in technical/medical contexts (e.g., 'vaccine hesitancy'), while 'hesitation' is the general-purpose term for a pause or reluctance.
zh: 'Hesitancy' 更为正式，常用于技术或医学语境（例如 'vaccine hesitancy'），而 'hesitation' 是表示停顿或犹豫的通用术语。
拼写提示
EN: Remember the 'i' before '-tation': 'hes-i-tation', not 'hesitaton'. The root verb 'hesitate' retains its 'i' in the noun form.
zh: 记住在 '-tation' 之前是 'i'：'hes-i-tation'，而不是 'hesitaton'。动词词根 'hesitate' 在名词形式中保留了其 'i'。
