core核心畫面

Picture 'pay' shifted into the past — the giving of money already happened. 'Paid' is simply the finished, looking-back form of pay, whether as a past action (I paid) or a state already done (it's been paid).

可以想成把 pay 推到過去：給錢這件事已經發生了。paid 就是 pay 的「已完成、回頭看」版本——可以是過去的動作（I paid），也可以是已經完成的狀態（it's been paid）。
