core核心畫面

Picture the calendar coming round to the same square again. Something happened on this day — a wedding, an opening, a loss — and every year the date arrives once more, carrying that earlier day with it. The word names the date, not the event: the return trip, not the first journey.

可以想成：月曆轉了一圈，又走回同一個格子。某一年的這一天發生過一件事——結婚、開幕、失去某個人——而每一年這個日期都會再來一次，把當年那天一起帶回來。要注意這個字指的是「那個日期」，不是當年那件事本身：它講的是繞回來的那一次，不是最初的那一次。
