用法

  • Both literal motive power and figurative motivation - 提供动力 (tígōng dònglì) provide power, 学习的动力 (xuéxí de dònglì) the drive to study.
  • The figurative 'driving force/impetus' sense is very common: 发展的动力 (fāzhǎn de dònglì) the engine of development.
  • Contrast with 动机 (dòngjī, motive/intention behind an act) - 动力 pushes you forward, 动机 is the reason you act.
