strong physical or mental effort
The use of a lot of body or mind energy to do something hard, which can make you feel very tired.
用法模式：
[someone] avoids [exertion]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes confuse “exertion” with “exercise.” “Exercise” is a regular activity you do to stay healthy (for example, running, swimming), while “exertion” is the heavy effort or energy used in any hard activity (it can be sports, work, or even thinking). Learners also sometimes say “do an exertion”; natural English uses “make an effort” or simply “after much exertion,” not *“do an exertion.”*
近义词
effort (More general and common; does not always suggest tiredness or great strain the way “exertion” often does.)
|
strain (Suggests effort that pushes someone close to their physical or mental limit, sometimes with pain or damage.)
反义词
rest (Opposite in that no energy is actively used; the body or mind is recovering instead of working hard.)

use of power or influence
The use of power, authority, or influence to make people or events change in a certain way.
用法模式：
the exertion of [power/authority/influence]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes use “exertion” with power words without the preposition “of,” for example *“exertion power”* instead of the correct “exertion of power.” Another mistake is choosing “exertion” where “effort” is better; for physical or mental work, use “effort” or “exertion,” but for power or authority, use “exertion of power/authority” or “exercise of power/authority.”
近义词
exercise (Common in formal contexts like “exercise of power/authority”; slightly more neutral and frequent than “exertion” in legal and political writing.)
反义词
noninterference (Opposite because it means choosing not to use power or influence and not to take control of a situation.)
