core核心畫面

Picture the qualities you would list beside a person's name on a form: patient, quick, reliable. An attribute is one thing on that list — a quality that belongs to someone or something and that other people can point at. This entry covers only the noun; the verb attribute (to say what caused something) is a separate entry.

可以想成：表格上人名旁邊列的那些特質——有耐心、反應快、可靠。attribute 就是那份清單上的一項：屬於某人或某物、而且別人指得出來的性質。要注意這裡講的是名詞；動詞的 attribute（把某事歸因於…）是另一個字，重音位置也不一樣。
