1. power的基本意思是“力,力量”,可指人的体力、思维能力,也可指机器的功力、动力或功率,还可指人或国家甚至是某个机构的权力、势力或影响力。这种权力或影响力可由法律、规章所赋予,也可由于本身力量的强大而自然产生的。power作“强国”解时,一般指在政治、经济或军事等方面对世界有一定影响的大国或强国。power还可用于数学方面,作“幂,乘方”解。
2. power作“权”“权力”“势力”“政权”“功力〔率〕”解是不可数名词; 表示“强国”“幂,乘方”时是可数名词; 表示“能力”时有时可用于复数形式,表示“体力,力量”解时通常用作不可数名词。
3. power作“权力”“能力”“动力”解时后面可接动词不定式作定语。

1. power的基本意思是指向飞机、雷达、汽车等提供原动力,此时是及物动词,接名词或代词作宾语,可用于被动结构。引申可表示“飞速行驶”,此时作不及物动词。

1. 当“power”前面有“a”或者“the”时，后面接动名词比较常见。

   she used to have a powder of being late.

It is in our power not to copy everything foreign.我们有权不全部照抄外国的东西。

A car needs a lot of power to go fast.汽车高速行驶需要很大动力。

His arguments forced them to admit he was right.他的论据迫使他们承认他是对的。

The thief forced her to hand over the money.贼强迫她把钱交出来。

5.might指“力量”“威力”“强权”“权势”等,既可指人体的力量,也可指政治、军事等的强大而产生的威力,其程度要比其他几个词强。例如:

The army fought bravely, but it was crushed by the might of its powerful enemy.军队勇敢地战斗,但最终还是被敌人强大的势力所摧垮。

They would have little chance to survive against our might.在我们的强大力量面前,他们几乎无法继续生存下去。

The work was so difficult that it was beyond my might.这项工作太难了,它超出了我的能力。

The competition is strong and we must study with all our might.竞争是强有力的,我们须尽全力地学习。

他们几个在这个国家里是很有权势的人。

误 They are great power in the country.

正 They are great powers in the country.

析 power作“有势力者”或“有影响的人或物”解时是可数名词。

新政府将在下月开始执政。

误 The new government will come into the power next month.

正 The new government will come into power next month.

析 表示“开始执政”应该说come into power, power前没有定冠词。
