    「statue」是用石頭、金屬等硬材料做成的「人或動物立體像」，通常跟真人差不多大或更大，常立在公園、廣場、學校門口。它跟 sculpture 很近：sculpture 是較廣的「雕塑作品」，statue 多半特指人像或動物像，而且常常是獨立站著的。常見畫面：a bronze statue（銅像）、a statue of…（…的雕像）、put up a statue（立一座雕像）。

core核心畫面

Picture a solid stone or bronze figure standing in a square — a person or an animal, usually life-size or bigger, or cast so it can stand there for a hundred years without moving.

可以想成：廣場上那尊石頭或銅做的人形，通常跟真人一樣大或更大，站在那裡幾十年也不會動。重點在「立體、實心、獨立站著」——所以牆上刻的浮雕、畫框裡的像都不算 statue。
