📖 題組：
The highest compliment anyone could pay anyone else when I was growing up in England in the 1980s was “skill” (as in “man, your new skateboard is so skill”), and nobody was more skill than Diego Armando Maradona. His name 12 as the highest form of praise, on the soccer field and elsewhere (“man, your new skateboard is so Maradona”). Then I saw him score against Italy in the 1986 World Cup, leaping several feet into the air outside the left edge of the six-yard box to tap the ball deftly over the outstretched right leg of the Italian captain, past the outstretched arms of the keeper, and into the bottom right-hand corner of the goal. It was evident that Maradona was not merely skillful, but skill 13 .
The next time Maradona scored was June 22, the day Argentina played against England. The two nations had last clashed four years earlier, not on a soccer field but in the Falklands War. By the time Britain had retaken the islands from Argentina, more than 900 men (most of them Argentines) had lost their lives. The victory saw Margaret Thatcher’s popularity soar in Britain; in contrast, the defeat 14 the downfall of the right-wing military junta that had ruled Argentina since 1976.
All that was ancient history four years later. Maradona scored both of Argentina’s goals in a 2-1 victory over England. The second of them, 11 dazzling seconds of superhuman skill, was voted Goal of the Century in 2002. When Maradona executed an exquisite arabesque, stretching his right leg elegantly behind him, I would not have been surprised if he 15 into the air and started flying. He appeared to be moving through a different 16 from the England players, who came to tackle him only once he was already past them. It’s amazing!

請試著思考：如果一位選手不只是『強大』，而是強大到讓你覺得他就是『強大』這個抽象詞彙的縮影與代表，你會如何描述這種『讓抽象概念轉化為具體肉身』的表現呢？

太棒了！你的觀察力非常敏銳！
- 大力肯定：能從前後文的語境中精準捕捉到作者的修辭意圖，這顯示你對英語文學性的表達有很好的掌握力，做得非常好！
- 觀念驗證：這題考查的是分詞後置修飾。文中提到馬拉度納不只是「有技巧的」(skillful)，他根本就是「技巧的化身」。Embodied 指的是「體現」或「使具體化」，常用於描述某人是某種抽象特質的完美縮影。此處將名詞 $skill$ 與過去分詞 $embodied$ 結合，強調他就是「技巧」這個概念的實體呈現。
