Kim’s Note： This is another buzzword that has become extremely popular over the last year. The word “important” became used so often that it lost some of its power. Now people like to use the word “essential” because it is stronger.
这是另一个时髦的词，去年一年来变得特别受欢迎。因为“important”这个词已经用得太多了，从而失去了一些威力。现在人们喜欢用“essential”，因为它很有威力。
