正确说法

• 他用宽广的肩膀扛起最艰难的任务，从未因疲惫推责，赢得同事敬重。(He shouldered the hardest tasks, never shirked responsibility because of fatigue, and earned the respect of his colleagues.)
• 当她在最脆弱的时刻将头靠在他的肩膀上时，所有积压已久的委屈与疲惫都在那一刻悄然融化，肩膀的温度传递着无需言语的理解与接纳。(When she rested her head on his shoulder in her most vulnerable moment, all the long-accumulated grievances and exhaustion quietly melted away in that instant; the warmth of his shoulder conveyed understanding and acceptance that needed no words.)

错误说法

• 肩膀 is a neutral noun for the anatomical shoulder. In formal medical contexts, 肩关节 (shoulder joint) is more precise. Figurative use of 肩膀 for responsibility is common in literary Chinese, but in plain speech 担当 or 承担 better conveys that meaning.
