有力
有力 30秒で
- 有力 (yǒu lì) means powerful or strong, used for both physical force and abstract impact.
- It is common in formal contexts like law, business, and news to describe effective measures.
- Grammatically, it acts as an adjective (very strong) or an attributive (strong evidence).
- It conveys a sense of authority, reliability, and decisive influence in any situation.
The Chinese word 有力 (yǒu lì) is a versatile adjective that translates most directly to 'powerful,' 'strong,' or 'forceful.' It is composed of two fundamental characters: 有 (yǒu), meaning 'to have' or 'to possess,' and 力 (lì), meaning 'strength,' 'power,' or 'force.' Together, they describe the state of possessing significant energy or influence, whether in a physical, abstract, or systemic sense. For a beginner, you might use it to describe a strong handshake or a powerful athlete. As you progress to intermediate and advanced levels, you will find it indispensable for describing 'powerful evidence' in a legal case, 'forceful measures' taken by a government, or 'strong support' from a community.
- Physical Strength
- When describing the human body or physical objects, 有力 implies a sense of vigor and muscular capability. It is the kind of strength that can move heavy objects or exert pressure.
- Abstract Impact
- In professional or academic contexts, it describes the effectiveness or persuasiveness of an argument, a speech, or a piece of evidence. An '有力证据' (strong evidence) is one that is hard to refute.
他的发言非常有力,赢得了大家的掌声。(His speech was very powerful and won everyone's applause.)
The word is frequently used in formal writing to describe the implementation of policies. For instance, '有力保障' (strong guarantee) suggests that a system is robust enough to ensure a specific outcome. It carries a positive connotation of reliability and effectiveness. In the realm of art and calligraphy, 有力 describes brushstrokes that are bold and confident, showing the 'strength' of the artist's hand.
我们需要采取更有力的措施来保护环境。(We need to take more forceful measures to protect the environment.)
- Common Collocations
- 有力支持 (strong support), 有力武器 (powerful weapon), 有力证明 (powerful proof), 说话有力 (speak forcefully).
In daily conversation, you might hear it used to describe someone's voice. A '说话有力' person sounds confident and authoritative. In sports, a '击球有力' (powerful hit) describes a strike with great momentum. Overall, this word bridges the gap between the physical world and the world of ideas, making it a cornerstone of expressive Chinese.
Using 有力 correctly requires understanding its grammatical flexibility. As an adjective, it can function as a predicate, usually following an intensifier like 很 (hěn), 非常 (fēicháng), or 十分 (shífēn). It can also serve as an attributive to modify a noun, often connected by the particle 的 (de).
- As a Predicate
- Structure: [Subject] + [Adverb] + 有力. Example: 这双大手很有力 (These big hands are very powerful). Here, it describes a state of being.
- As an Attributive
- Structure: 有力 + 的 + [Noun]. Example: 有力的证据 (Powerful evidence). This is the most common way to use the word in formal contexts.
他的回击非常有力,让对方无话可说。(His counterattack was very powerful, leaving the opponent speechless.)
When using '有力' to describe actions, it often combines with verbs to indicate the manner of the action. For instance, '抓得有力' (to grip powerfully). In these cases, the particle '得' is used to link the verb and the complement. This highlights the result or the quality of the action performed.
由于得到了有力的支持,这个项目进展很快。(Because it received strong support, this project is progressing quickly.)
- Negative Forms
- To express the opposite, we typically use '无力' (wúlì - powerless) or '乏力' (fálì - lacking strength). For example, '监管无力' (weak supervision).
In summary, whether you are describing a physical sensation or a logical conclusion, '有力' adds a layer of intensity and conviction to your sentences. It is a 'heavyweight' word that commands attention and suggests effectiveness.
You will encounter 有力 in a variety of settings, ranging from the evening news to the local gym. Its frequency in formal media is particularly high. On CCTV news, you might hear reporters talk about '有力地推动了经济发展' (powerfully promoted economic development). This usage emphasizes the significant impact of a policy or event.
政府对贫困地区的有力帮扶改变了许多人的命运。(The government's powerful assistance to impoverished areas has changed many people's lives.)
In business meetings, '有力' is used to validate strategies. A manager might say, '我们需要一个更有力的营销计划' (We need a more powerful marketing plan). Here, it implies a plan that is not just good, but one that will yield measurable and strong results. It is a word of high professional standards.
In the world of sports and fitness, trainers use it to encourage athletes. '挥拍要有力!' (Swing the racket with power!) is a common instruction in tennis or badminton. It focuses on the physical mechanics of the movement. Similarly, in martial arts like Tai Chi or Kung Fu, '有力' describes movements that are grounded and full of internal force.
- Literary and Artistic Use
- In book reviews or art critiques, you might read about a '笔触有力' (forceful brushstrokes) or a '论证有力' (powerful argumentation). It praises the creator's ability to convey conviction through their medium.
Finally, in everyday social interactions, while less common than in formal settings, it can be used to describe someone's personality or presence. A '说话有力' person is seen as someone who is decisive and doesn't beat around the bush. It's a hallmark of a leader's character.
Learning to use 有力 correctly involves navigating a few common pitfalls. The most frequent mistake for English speakers is overusing it where 强壮 (qiángzhuàng) or 强大 (qiángdà) would be more appropriate. While all these words relate to 'strength,' they are not interchangeable.
- 有力 vs. 强壮
- '强壮' (qiángzhuàng) specifically refers to a person's physical build or health (e.g., a muscular body). '有力' refers to the force that body can produce. You would say '他身体强壮' (He has a strong body) but '他的握手很有力' (His handshake is powerful).
- 有力 vs. 强大
- '强大' (qiángdà) is usually used for large-scale power, like a '强大国家' (powerful country) or a '强大军队' (powerful army). '有力' is more about the specific effectiveness or forcefulness of an action or item.
Incorrect: 这个运动员很有力。(This athlete is very powerful - context of build)
Correct: 这个运动员很强壮,他的击球很有力。
Another mistake is using '有力' as a verb. Remember, it is an adjective. You cannot '有力' something; you must '采取有力的措施' (take forceful measures) or '给予有力的支持' (give strong support). It describes the quality of the noun it modifies.
Lastly, watch out for the negative form. Beginners often try to say '不有力'. While not grammatically 'illegal' in all contexts, it sounds unnatural. Use '无力' or '没劲' (informal) to express a lack of strength. Mastery of these nuances will make your Chinese sound much more native and precise.
To expand your vocabulary beyond 有力, it is helpful to understand its synonyms and how they differ in register and nuance. Depending on whether you are talking about physical strength, political power, or artistic vigor, another word might be a better fit.
- 强劲 (qiángjìng)
- This word often describes a 'driving force' or momentum. It is commonly used in economic contexts, like '强劲的增长' (robust growth) or describing natural forces like '强劲的风' (strong wind).
- 刚劲 (gāngjìng)
- Specifically used for artistic expression, especially calligraphy and dance. It suggests a combination of strength and resilience. '笔法刚劲' describes strokes that are firm and bold.
- 给力 (gěilì)
- This is a modern slang term that became extremely popular. It literally means 'giving power' and is used to mean 'awesome,' 'cool,' or 'effective.' It is much more informal than '有力'.
Comparison: 这台发动机很有力 (standard) vs. 这台发动机动力强劲 (more technical/dynamic).
If you want to describe something that is extremely powerful to the point of being overwhelming, you might use 强大 (qiángdà). If you are focusing on the 'hardness' or 'sturdiness' of something, 坚硬 (jiānyìng) or 坚固 (jiāngù) are better choices. Understanding these distinctions allows you to paint a clearer picture in the mind of your listener.
In summary, while '有力' is a great all-rounder, specialized words like '强劲' and '刚劲' can add professional polish to your Chinese, while '给力' will help you fit in during casual conversations with friends.
How Formal Is It?
豆知識
The character '力' (lì) looks like a muscle or a plow. In ancient China, the ability to plow fields was the ultimate sign of 'power' and 'value' in society.
発音ガイド
- Pronouncing 'yǒu' as 'yōu' (first tone).
- Pronouncing 'lì' as 'lǐ' (third tone).
- Confusing 'lì' with 'nì' (n/l confusion).
- Mumbling the tones, making it sound like 'yōulǐ'.
- Mixing up 'yǒu' with 'yóu' (second tone).

Both characters are basic radicals, easy to write correctly.
Tones (3rd and 4th) need to be distinct to avoid sounding like other words.
Clear pronunciation makes it easy to identify in speech.

Word Web
チャレンジ
Try to use '有力' in three different ways today: describe a physical object, a person's voice, and a piece of news.
語源
The word '有力' is a compound of two ancient characters. '有' (yǒu) originally depicted a hand holding a piece of meat, symbolizing possession or 'having.' '力' (lì) originally depicted a plow (an agricultural tool), which required physical strength to operate, thus coming to symbolize 'force' or 'power.'
元の意味: To possess physical strength or the capacity to perform labor.
Sino-Tibetan文化的な背景
Be careful not to use '有力' to describe someone's weight; use '胖' or '强壮' instead. '有力' is about the force they can exert, not their size.
English speakers often use 'strong' for everything. In Chinese, '有力' is more specific to 'possessing force' rather than just 'being big.'

よくある質問
10 問Yes, but it usually refers to their presence or way of speaking rather than their moral character. A '说话有力' person is seen as decisive and authoritative. If you mean they are morally strong, '坚强' (jiānqiáng) is better.
No. While it can describe muscles or a grip, it is very frequently used in abstract contexts like 'powerful evidence' or 'forceful measures.' In fact, you'll see it more in news reports than in gym talk.
‘很强’ is very general and can mean 'excellent' (e.g., 他的能力很强). ‘有力’ specifically emphasizes the presence of 'force' or 'impact.' '有力' sounds more formal and descriptive of the effect.
It sounds a bit awkward. It's better to say '他的身体很强壮' (His body is strong/built). Use '有力' for specific actions, like '他的动作很有力' (His movements are powerful).
The most direct opposite is '无力' (wúlì). For example, '感到无力' (to feel powerless) or '监管无力' (weak supervision).
No. For strong smells or tastes, use '浓' (nóng) or '重' (zhòng). '有力' is strictly for force and influence.
It is generally positive, implying effectiveness, reliability, and strength. However, it can be neutral if describing a 'powerful blow' in a fight.
Yes, '这台发动机很有力' is perfectly fine, meaning the engine has a lot of power/torque.
It describes the 'force' of the brushstrokes. A master's writing is said to be '有力,' meaning it looks confident and energetic, not shaky or weak.
Not exactly. '给力' is informal slang (awesome/cool). '有力' is standard Chinese (powerful/strong). You wouldn't use '给力' in a legal document.

Summary
The word 有力 (yǒu lì) is your go-to adjective for anything that packs a punch, whether it is a physical strike, a convincing argument, or a robust government policy. Example: '有力证据' (yǒu lì zhèng jù) means 'powerful evidence.'
- 有力 (yǒu lì) means powerful or strong, used for both physical force and abstract impact.
- It is common in formal contexts like law, business, and news to describe effective measures.
- Grammatically, it acts as an adjective (very strong) or an attributive (strong evidence).
- It conveys a sense of authority, reliability, and decisive influence in any situation.
Use '的' for Nouns
Always use '的' when '有力' comes before a noun. '有力的手' (Powerful hand). Without '的,' it sounds incomplete.
Pair with '措施'
If you are writing about solving a problem, '采取有力措施' (Take forceful measures) is a high-level phrase that will impress teachers.
The 4th Tone
Make the 'lì' sound short and sharp. A weak 'li' makes the word sound less 'powerful' than it should!
Business Context
In meetings, use '有力支持' to thank colleagues. It sounds more professional than just saying '谢谢帮我'.
例文
他的演讲很有力。
