core核心畫面

Picture two people in the same room, close enough that each one's face is turned toward the other. The word takes that physical picture — face pointing at face — and uses it to mark a kind of meeting: you are actually there together, not a voice on a phone or a square on a screen.

可以想成：兩個人在同一個房間裡，臉正對著臉。這個字就是把那個很具體的畫面拿來當標記——用「臉對著臉」來指一種見面的方式：人真的在同一個空間裡，不是電話裡的聲音，也不是螢幕上的一格。所以它常常是拿來跟「線上」「電話」做對照的那個詞。
