用法筆記

Emperor is the title for the ruler of an empire, which is typically larger and more powerful than a kingdom. The female equivalent is empress. In modern times, very few emperors remain — Japan is the only country whose head of state still holds this title.

常見錯誤

The king of Japan attended the ceremony.
The emperor of Japan attended the ceremony.
Japan's head of state is an emperor, not a king, because the title reflects the historical nature of the Japanese empire.
She was crowned emperor of the empire.
She was crowned empress of the empire.
Emperor refers to a male ruler; use empress for a female ruler.
