invoke
意味: To cite or appeal to a law, principle, authority, or precedent as justification for an action or argument.
Invoke has two principal senses: citing an authority or rule to support a position, and calling upon something intangible (a spirit, a memory, a feeling). In legal and political contexts, it means to formally activate or apply a provision. Common collocations include 'invoke a clause,' 'invoke the right,' and 'invoke emergency powers.' Not to be confused with 'evoke' (to bring to mind).
