核心畫面

Picture a smooth who first wins your trust and then spends it — a 'con' is a trap built out of fake confidence. The word is short for 'confidence trick': what really gets taken is your trust, and the money just follows.

可以想成一個嘴巴很甜、先讓你放下戒心的人:他真正騙走的其實不是錢,是你的『信任』。con 這個字就是從 confid更多收起可以想成一個嘴巴很甜、先讓你放下戒心的人:他真正騙走的其實不是錢,是你的『信任』。con 這個字就是從 confidence(信任)縮寫來的——先把信任騙到手,錢自然跟著就走了。核心畫面比較像『用假的可信度設下的圈套』。
