| 常见错误 | Confused with 'capability' — 'ability' refers to a skill, while 'capability' refers to the potential to develop a skill., Using 'ability' without a verb or context can make sentences unclear., Incorrectly pluralizing as 'abilities' when referring to a single skill. | Confusing with 'capacity' which refers to volume or quantity., Using it as a verb instead of a noun., Misplacing the emphasis in pronunciation. | Confused with 'competency'; both refer to abilities but 'competence' is broader., Misused as a verb; 'competence' is always a noun., Spelling errors, especially with the second 'e'. | 'Power' as a verb — learners often mistakenly use 'power' when they mean to say 'empower'., Confusing 'power' with 'might', as they have different nuances., Misusing 'power' in phrases, e.g., 'the power of' requires a specified noun. | Confused with 'ability' — skill usually implies training or practice., Used as a verb incorrectly — skill is a noun. |
| 用法说明 | 在提到某人的技能或才能时使用'能力'。在非常随意的对话中避免使用，简单的词如'技能'可能更合适。Use 'ability' in contexts where referring to someone's skills or talents.

In discussions about politics or leadership, 'power' often has a weighty connotation, while in casual settings it might refer to electricity or strength. Avoid using it in overly casual contexts when discussing serious topics. | 在各种场合谈论能力时使用'技能'，从运动到艺术都可以。避免在非常非正式的场合使用，简单的词如'天赋'可能更合适。Use 'skill' to talk about abilities in various contexts, from sports to arts.
