againstwind Posted May 27, 2007 at 02:58 PM Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 at 02:58 PM Simply speaking, 强大 and 强壮 are adjective, while 力量 is a noun. 强大:formidable, mighty, powerful, strong It usually modifies abstract things not , like 强大的国家, 强大的军事实力, 强大的力量. 强壮: robust, muscly, strong. It indicates sb. marked by great physical power, capable of exerting great physical force. e.g. 强壮的臂膀,强壮的身体 力量 corresponds to power or force. e.g. 请赐予我力量! 愿力量与你同在!

Andy-Ru Posted May 27, 2007 at 11:54 PM Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 at 11:54 PM Thanks guys!! Your answers have cleared things up a lot!! I spent ages trying to understand the differenes, but the dictionary kept coming up with "strong" for all three, so I was like "huh?". But it's all good now. Thanks!!
