core核心畫面

You can picture definitely as drawing a hard, clear line under something so there's no wobble left — it's settled, no doubt about it. When you say a thing definitely happened or you'll definitely come, you're shutting the door on any 'maybe'.

可以把 definitely 想成:在一件事底下畫一條清清楚楚、不再晃動的線——這事拍板了,沒得懷疑。當你說某事 definitely 發生了、或你 definitely 會來,等於把所有「也許」的門都關上,只留「就是這樣」。
