core核心畫面

You can picture someone putting on a performance of themselves — speaking, gesturing, or behaving in a way that isn't really how they are, all to seem more special, refined, or important than they truly are. 'Affected' is that air of a put-on, manner.

可以想成一個人正在「演自己」：講話的腔調、舉手投足、待人接物都不是他真實的樣子，而是刻意裝出來的，為了顯得比實際更高雅、更特別、更了不起。affected 描述的就是這種裝模作樣、不自然的做派——那種一看就覺得「太刻意」的味道。
