core核心畫面

Picture a line of events with one marked as the starting point: subsequent points at everything standing behind it in the queue. The word never stands alone in time — it always leans on a moment you have already named, and says "after that one".

可以想成：事情排成一條隊伍，其中一件被標成起點，subsequent 指的就是排在它後面的那些。這個字沒辦法單獨判斷時間，它一定要靠著一個前面已經講過的時間點，然後說「在那之後的」。所以讀到 subsequent 時，值得回頭找一下：是接在哪一件事後面？
