power的基本意思是“力,力量”,可指人的體力、思維能力,也可指機(jī)器的功力、動(dòng)力或功率,還可指人或國(guó)家甚至是某個(gè)機(jī)構(gòu)的權(quán)力、勢(shì)力或影響力。這種權(quán)力或影響力可由法律、規(guī)章所賦予,也可由于本身力量的強(qiáng)大而自然產(chǎn)生的。power作“強(qiáng)國(guó)”解時(shí),一般指在政治、經(jīng)濟(jì)或軍事等方面對(duì)世界有一定影響的大國(guó)或強(qiáng)國(guó)。power還可用于數(shù)學(xué)方面,作“冪,乘方”解。
power作“權(quán)”“權(quán)力”“勢(shì)力”“政權(quán)”“功力〔率〕”解是不可數(shù)名詞; 表示“強(qiáng)國(guó)”“冪,乘方”時(shí)是可數(shù)名詞; 表示“能力”時(shí)有時(shí)可用于復(fù)數(shù)形式,表示“體力,力量”解時(shí)通常用作不可數(shù)名詞。
power作“權(quán)力”“能力”“動(dòng)力”解時(shí)后面可接動(dòng)詞不定式作定語。

power的基本意思是指向飛機(jī)、雷達(dá)、汽車等提供原動(dòng)力,此時(shí)是及物動(dòng)詞,接名詞或代詞作賓語,可用于被動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu)。引申可表示“飛速行駛”,此時(shí)作不及物動(dòng)詞。
當(dāng)“power”前面有“a”或者“the”時(shí)，后面接動(dòng)名詞比較常見。she used to have a powder of being late. 她曾經(jīng)有權(quán)利晚到。
當(dāng)“powder”前面沒有“a”或者“the”時(shí)，后面則接“不定式”。She used to have powder to be late.
有些表達(dá)方式中，power常用復(fù)數(shù)形式powers，如his powers of mind, his powers of observation, his powers as a novelist, a novelist at the height of his powers等。

The power corrupted him, corroding his mind and poisoning his judgment.
權(quán)力腐蝕了他,侵蝕了他的思想,毀掉了他的判斷力。
