strong control or power over others
a situation where one person, group, or country has a lot of power and control over others, so the others are less free
用法模式：

常见错误：
Learners sometimes confuse "domination" with "dominance". Both are similar, but "domination" often emphasizes the act or state of controlling others, especially in social or political contexts, while "dominance" can be broader (e.g., biological dominance). Also, learners may say *"domination on"* instead of the correct patterns *"domination of"* or *"domination over"*.

clear superiority in competition
a situation where one team, company, or person is much stronger and more successful than the others in a game, sport, or area of business
用法模式：
the domination of [field/market/sport] by [team/company]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes use "domination" where a simpler word like "win" or "lead" would sound more natural in everyday speech. "Domination" is usually used for long periods or very strong control in a sport or market, not for a single small success.

sexual role of controlling a partner
a sexual role or game where one person controls what happens and the other person accepts this control, usually by agreement
用法模式：
sexual domination of [partner] by [partner]
常见错误：
Learners may use this meaning without realizing it is specifically sexual, which can create awkward or confusing sentences. In non-sexual situations, it is usually better to use "control" or the more general meanings of "domination." Also, consent and agreement are important ideas in this context; using the word without them can suggest abuse rather than agreed sexual practice.
