"Exercise power/influence over (somebody/something)" nghĩa là khẳng định quyền kiểm soát, quyền hạn đối với ai hoặc cái gì đó.

Ví dụ
Speaking from her home in Devon, she told GMB’s Richard Bacon and Susanna Reid: ‘I have no regrets at all. If you actually listen to what I said, it’s quite clear I said that throughout history there’s been a pattern of people turning on those who exercise power over them.

You’ve not only learned the names of so many things, you’ve also acquired massive naming powers, which are a bit like Jedi powers. Like Adam and Eve before you, you can name the details of the world in a way that escapes most of us, and when you name people and things, you exercise power over them.

A harmonious (hòa hợp) political future requires new approaches to using technology and AI not just to innovate, but also to explain and involve average citizenry (toàn thể công dân) in the governing process, which would return to the governed a sense of pride and investment in their governing systems. Even as we are confronted by greater and greater challenges, we must acknowledge the right of the governed to feel seen by the systems which exercise power over them.
