常见错误：
Learners often confuse "invoke" with "evoke". "Invoke a law/right" means to mention and use it as support, while "evoke a feeling" means to cause a feeling. Do not say *"invoke a feeling"* when you mean "evoke a feeling" in careful formal writing, even though this mistake appears in real use.

搭配
invoke the law
|invoke a principle
|invoke a right
|invoke precedent

常见错误：
Learners often confuse "invoke" and "evoke" in this sense. In modern careful English, "evoke" is the standard word for causing feelings or images. "Invoke" is used but sounds more formal and can sound incorrect to some readers, so for writing exams or formal texts, "evoke" is usually safer.
含义
cause a feeling or image
搭配
invoke images of
|invoke memories of
|invoke fear
|invoke nostalgia
|invoke a sense of
|invoke the idea of
近义词
evoke (The most common verb for causing a feeling or image; very close in meaning, and often preferred in careful writing.)
