The future moves with collective force.

Feeble 一词源自拉丁语 flere （哭泣、流泪、悲叹），12世纪末进入英语表示“身体上、道德上或智力上缺乏力量或者活力”，现在主要表示“虚弱的、衰弱的”，强调身体衰弱无力、精力几乎耗尽，含令人怜悯的意味，比如：
他是一个虚弱无助的老人。
He was a feeble, helpless old man.
心搏无力，心律不齐。

The heartbeat was feeble and irregular.
用在品行道德或智力上时，则表示“（智力、性格等）弱的、软弱的”，比如：
别那么软弱了！告诉她你不想去。
Don't be so feeble! Tell her you don't want to go.

除了形容人及其言语行为外， feeble 还可以引申用于形容其他事物“微弱的、脆弱的、薄弱的”，甚至“无效的、无力的”，比如：
这盏小灯只发出一点微弱的光。
The little lamp gave only a feeble light.
对这个计划的反对声相当无力。
Opposition to the plan was rather feeble.
无力的证据；站不住脚的借口；干巴巴的笑话
