用法筆記
Commonly appears in possessive form ('Clive's') paired with military or political nouns such as victory, campaign, reforms, or legacy. In formal historical writing the full name 'Robert Clive' or the title 'Lord Clive' is used on first mention; 'Clive' alone is standard thereafter. The name is also used in present-day discussions of colonial history and the debate over statues and monuments connected to Britain's imperial past.
