core核心畫面

Picture ten years taken as one block — long enough that fashions, prices and the way people live all look different at the far end of it. A decade is the unit history and news reach for when a year is too short to show a change.

可以想成：十年被當成一整塊來看——長到走到那一頭時，流行、物價、生活方式都不一樣了。當「一年」太短、看不出變化時，歷史和新聞就會改用 decade 這個單位。
