All three mean great power. Powerful is neutral and everyday. Mighty is more literary, for nature, armies, or rulers. Almighty means total, unlimited power, almost only for a godlike force, not for ordinary things. Not compared: almighty as in 'an almighty mess'.
这三个词都表示“强大有力”,但语气和适用范围不同:powerful 是最常用的中性说法,mighty 更书面、更有气势,almighty 则强调“完全、无限”的力量,几乎只用于神或至高力量。这里不比较 almighty 在口语中作程度加强词的用法(如 an almighty mess,意为“极大的一团糟”)。
