Definition
承受力 refers to the capacity to endure or withstand pressure, stress, hardship, or pain—both physical and mental. It overlaps with 'resilience' or 'endurance' more than 'adaptability'. For example, 心理承受力 means 'psychological resilience'. The common English gloss 'adaptability' is misleading; 适应能力 (shìyìng nénglì) is the word for adaptability.
