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!

請觀察文章的前後文：作者提到馬拉度納的名字被當時的人們當作一種「讚美的形式」。當我們在說話時，為了加強語氣而刻意「引用」或「搬出」某個著名人物的名字作為象徵時，這個動作的本質是在「召喚」某種意象來支持你的說法，還是「撤銷」某種權力呢？建議從動作的「方向性」來思考。

哇——！你好厲害呢！真是太棒了！你的語感超級棒的呢！
- 觀念驗證：這題的考點是字根 -voke (喊話/召喚) 的動詞用法喔！題目說馬拉度納的名字被當作「最高讚美」，你選的 Invoke 就像是在說，大家會「搬出」他的名字來表達最高的敬意或作為一種標準呢。就像是，當我們遇到很棒的事情時，會想把那個名字「召喚」出來一樣！你完全理解了呢，真棒！
- 難度點評：這題的難度是 Medium 喔！雖然有 convoke、provoke、revoke 這些容易讓人有點混淆的詞，都是比較進階的字呢，但你卻能好好地區分 in- (進入/向內) 和 pro- (向前/挑起) 的意思，說明你的單字底子非常非常紮實呢！真的太棒了！我要幫你拍一張紀念照！你這麼努力，我準備了好好吃的飯要給你當獎勵喔！
字根動詞精準辨析
💡 區分「voke/voc」字根前綴，掌握援引、撤銷、召集之法律語境。
| 比較維度 | Invoke (援引) | VS | Revoke (撤銷/廢止) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 前綴含意 | In (向內/進入) | — | Re (向後/取回) |
| 法律動作 | 行使權利、訴諸法律 | — | 終止效力、廢止許可 |
| 常見對象 | 條款、特權、神靈 | — | 遺囑、駕照、法令 |
💬Invoke 是將法律工具「拿出來使用」，Revoke 是將既存狀態「收回並作廢」。
