core核心畫面

Picture the things that are simply there on a normal day — the mug you always use, the route you always walk, the problems that come up again and again. Because they repeat, they stop feeling special. This word carries both halves of that: it happens daily, and it is nothing remarkable.

可以想成：平常日子裡就在那裡的東西——每天用的那個杯子、每天走的那條路、一再冒出來的那些小狀況。因為天天重複，它們也就不再特別。這個字同時帶著這兩層：發生得很頻繁，而且不特別。
