支持力压力是同时的吗

Hello, I'm Emma from mmmEnglish!

In this lesson, I'm gonna talk about two very similar English words.

大家好，我是Emma，欢迎来到Emma的美味英语！

在本节课程中，我们将要讨论两个非常相似的英文单词。

Power and strength. They're both bold, strong, serious words and very similar in their meaning.

“Power”和“strength”.它们都是非常有力、强烈、严肃的单词，而且意思非常相近。

But if you use these words incorrectly, it will start to sound unnatural or just a bit weird.

So that's why we're going to spend a little time today talking about the differences between them.

但是如果你没用对这两个单词的话，听起来会不太自然，有点怪怪的。所以我们就要花点时间讨论一下这两个单词之间的差别。

Now we're more familiar with these words when it comes to fitness, right?

Power relates to energy and an ability to do something, whereas strength relates to muscles and also an ability to do something.

我们好像对这两个单词的“身体健康”含义更加熟悉，是吧？

“Power”和力量有关，是做某件事情的能力，而“strength”和肌肉有关，也和做某件事情的能力有关。

It's really easy to see physical power and strength in athletes, right?

You can see it. But they both have a more intangible, less visible meaning too.

在体育运动员身上很容易看到体能力量是吧？

你可以看得到的。但是它们两个都有更加难以言说、不那么明确的意思。

And that's where these words often get confused by English learners.

So the word 'power' refers to the ability of somebody or something to change or affect something.

而那就是英语学习者经常感到困惑的地方。

“Power”这个单词指的是某个人或者某件事去改变或者影响某件事的能力。

So physically, a sprinter, who's someone who runs really fast over short distances, they need power to change their speed and position quickly.

But it can refer to mechanical situations as well, where a machine does something.

从体能方面来说，短跑运动员在短距离内跑得非常非常快，他们需要力量来迅速改变他们的速度和位置。

但是它也可以指一些机械的情况，就是机器来做事情的时候。

Or it can refer to social or political situations where a person or a group does something and this is often related to the ability to influence or control people or a situation.

Now, power can also refer to your internal ability to change a situation.

它还可以指社会或者是政治情境，在这种情境中一个人或者是一个团体做了某件事情，而这经常和影响或者控制某个人或者某个情况的能力有关。

现在呢，“power”也可以指你改变一种情况的内部能力。

You have the power to change your life if you really want to.

Now the word strength has a few different meanings but most relevant here is that it refers to a person's physical or mental ability to do something.

如果你真的想的话，你有能力改变你的生活的。

而“strength”这个单词呢，有不同的意思，但是于此最相关的是，它指的是某个人去做某件事情的身体或者是心灵的力量。

Obviously, it relates to physical strength, the strength of muscles to lift weights for example.

But also mental strength, so the strength of your mind to believe in yourself, to persevere, to overcome problems and doubts.

很明显，它和体能力量相关，比如说举重的肌肉力量。

但是还有心灵的力量，也就是你的心灵相信你自己，坚持不懈、战胜困难，克服疑惑的力量。

Now, elite athletes are strong physically and mentally because they must believe that they are the best, to be able to perform at their best.

When describing people's ability to do something, power usually refers to control over yourself, control over others or control over a situation.

顶尖运动员们身体和心灵都非常有力，因为他们相信自己是最优秀的，能够表现出最高水平。

当描述人们做某件事的能力的事情，“power”通常指的是控制自己，控制他人或者是控制某个境况。

So in some ways, this can be a negative expression of dominance or something that must be fought for or taken away from others.

Where strength is positive and often it comes from within, within a person or within a group.

在某种程度上，这可能会有“支配”的负面意味，或者是要为之斗争，或者是从他人那里攫取的东西。“Strength” 是正面的词汇，它通常都来自于内部，来自于某个人或者是某个团体。

Generally, strength is a more positive and pure way of expressing an ability to do something.

Both the words power and strength are nouns but just as common, are their adjective forms, powerful and strong, which, when used, tend to sound a little more informal.

一般来说，“strength”是表达做某件事情的能力的更加积极的方式。

这两个单词——“power”和“strength”都是名词，但它们的形容词形式也非常常见，也就是“powerful”和“strong”，这两个单词用起来的时候没那么正式。

She's a strong and determined woman. This is the most powerful and proactive government since the 1950s.

她是个非常强势、意志坚决的女人。这是1950年以来最强势最积极的政府。

Strength can also mean an advantage or a positive part about you.

In a job interview, you might get asked this question, "What are your strengths?"

“Strength”也可以指你的一个优势，或者是积极的部分。在求职面试的时候，你可能会被问到这个问题——你的长处是什么？

For me, that's the dreaded question! I hate having to talk about my strengths.

对我而言，这真的是个令人恐惧的问题！我很讨厌谈论自己的长处。

But what are the good features or characteristics that you have?

That you'll be able to use to help you do your job well. One of her biggest strengths is her determination to succeed.

但是你有什么优秀的品质呢？这些品质能够帮助你胜任你的工作。

她最大的优势之一就是她必胜的决心。

Keep in mind that strength has a direct opposite. Weakness.

要记住“strength”（长处）有个反义词。那就是劣势。

We need to identify the weaknesses in our team.

But power does not have a direct opposite.

我们需要认清自己团队的劣势。但是“power”并没有直接的反义词。

We would just say lack of power or describe someone as powerless, unable to change a situation.

The community were powerless to stop the resort development.

我们只会说“缺少力量”或者是描述一个人“没有力量”，不能改变某个情况。

这个社区不能阻止旅游的开发。
