常见错误Common mistakes
易错句子I feel very empowering after the workshop.正确表达I feel very empowered after the workshop.
表示“感到有力量”应用过去分词empowered，而非现在分词empowering。Empowering意为“赋予力量的”，通常形容事物或行为，而非人的感受。
易错句子She was empowered for making decisions.正确表达She was empowered to make decisions.
表达“被授权做某事”应使用不定式to do，而不是介词for加动名词。Empower to do是固定搭配。
