想象一枚硬币：正面是“核准”（同意），反面是“制裁”（处罚）——sanction 同时拥有这两个相反意思。
作名词时，sanction有相反的两义：‘批准’（较正式，多用于官方许可或授权）和‘制裁’（更正式，常与against/on连用，多见于国际关系、法律或经济处罚）。日常口语罕见，正式书面语为主。
All listed words end with the spelling '-tion' and the unstressed sound /ʃən/, but none rhyme with 'sanction' because their stressed vowels differ. Only 'action' shares the /æ/ vowel and /k/ sound before /ʃən/, but lacks the /ŋ/ of 'sanction'.
