"manpower" in Chinese (Simplified)
Definition
可用于某项任务、项目或组织的工人数量或总劳动力。指的是人力资源的数量和能力，而非个人技能。
Usage Notes (Chinese (Simplified))
不可数名词——没有复数形式（'manpowers' 是错误的）。一些写作指南偏好性别中性的替代词如 'workforce'、'personnel'，但 'manpower' 在商业和军事语境中仍广泛使用。常见搭配：'manpower shortage'、'manpower planning'、'lack of manpower'。通常暗指体力或运营劳动，而非脑力劳动。
