    「criterion」是英文裡「判斷或決定時依據的那一條標準」,中文常說「標準」或「準則」。How can we think of it? 核心畫面可以想成「拿來對照、再決定好不好/選誰」的那一條尺子——例如科學展評分、選隊長、申請社團時列出來的條件。比平常說的 standard 更常出現在正式判斷/挑選的場合;單數是 criterion,複數是 criteria。

core核心畫面

The measuring stick you hold up before you judge. Before deciding who gets the job, you fix what counts — experience, language, availability — and each of those is one criterion. It is the yardstick, not the verdict.

可以想成:判斷之前先拿出來的那把尺。要決定錄取誰之前,先講定什麼算數——經歷、語言、能不能配合時間——每一項就是一個 criterion。它是量的工具,不是量出來的結果。
