To wield something means to hold it and use it, especially or with control — you might 'wield a sword' or 'wield a paintbrush.' It's also used for power: to 'wield power' or 'wield influence' means to actually have and use that power over people or decisions, not just hold the title. It's a fairly formal, slightly literary word — you won't hear it much in casual chat, but it shows up often in writing about history, , or stories.
揮舞(武器、工具);掌握運用(權力、影響力)
