    逐字我發現里歐的一些論點完全不合邏輯。

    「illogical」形容想法、規則或論點「不合道理、推理接不起來」。核心畫面可以想成「一步接一步的路斷了」——從 logical(合乎道理)加上否定前綴 il- 長出來。常見句型:it is illogical to do something(做某事不合邏輯)。跟 irrational 容易並排:illogical 偏「道理沒接上」;irrational 偏「被情緒拉走、看起來有點失控」。反義是 logical。

core核心畫面

Picture a set of stones across a stream with one stone missing: you can see where the person started and where they ended up, but the jump in between does not hold. That gap between one step and the next is what the word points at.

可以想成:溪上一排踏腳石,中間少了一顆。你看得到對方從哪裡出發、跳到哪裡去,但中間那一步接不上。illogical 指的就是那個接不上的縫隙——結論本身也許不奇怪,問題出在從前一句到下一句的推進站不住。它評的是「想法怎麼走過來的」,不是評人。
