core核心畫面

You can picture 'intervention' as in between — something was heading one way, and you come into the middle of it to change where it goes, usually to stop a problem from getting worse.

可以把 intervention 想成『踏進中間』：事情本來往某個方向走，你從中間插進去、改變它的走向，通常是為了阻止一個問題繼續惡化。

From the word’s history

From Latin intervenire, inter- 'between' + venire 'to come' — literally 'to come between'. An intervention is the act of coming into the middle of something already in motion.

來自拉丁文 intervenire，inter-（之間）加 venire（來），字面就是『來到中間』。intervention 就是踏進一件已經在進行的事情中間的那個動作。
