core核心畫面

You can picture 'provided' as a small gate placed in front of a promise: the thing you want can come through, but only if it passes one condition first. 'Provided you pay, it's yours' — the gate opens only when the condition is met.

可以想成：provided 像是擺在一句承諾前面的一道小門。後面那件事可以發生、可以成真，但前提是要先通過某個條件這道門。例如 provided you pay, it's yours（只要你付錢，東西就是你的）——條件達成，門才打開。
