- might 本词
Might is more formal and literary, emphasizing great physical or military strength; it often appears in set phrases such as 'with all your might' and lacks power's other meanings.
might更正式、更文学化，强调巨大的力量（尤指体力或军事力量），常出现在如“with all your might”这样的固定搭配中，且不具备power的其他义项。

Both mean strength. Power is the everyday, neutral word for strength, and can also mean control or electricity. Might is formal and literary, for physical or military strength, often in phrases like 'with all your might'. Not compared: might as a modal verb, meaning 'possibility'.
这两个词在“力量”这一义项上意思相近，但语域和搭配不同：might更正式、更文学化，强调巨大的（尤指体力或军事）力量，常见于固定搭配；power则是日常、中性的常用词。这里不比较power的“电力”“控制力／权力”等其他义项，也不比较might作情态动词表示“可能”的用法。
