present · presence · absence
共同语义：在场、缺席、呈现与代表
词源与构词present、presence 和 presentation 通过拉丁语 praesens、praesentia、praesentare 与 praeesse“在前、在场”相关；absence 源自拉丁语 absentia、absens 和 abesse“离开、不在”；represent、representation 和 representative 源自拉丁语 repraesentare“使重新呈现、代表”及其派生形式。它们都可追溯到与拉丁语 esse“是、存在”有关的历史词源，但现代英语中不存在能作为这七个词共同构词核心的统一词根形式。

词族故事
ONE STORY, MANY NUANCES
用一个有意义的场景串起这组词和它们的细微差别。
原创 · 把位置留给未来
On the morning she left her secure job, Mira gave a presentation to an empty room: she represented only herself, with no title to hide behind. The silence was frightening, but her absence from the old life created a presence she had never known. Months later, her first small studio became a quiet representation of the courage that choice had required.
离开那份安稳工作的早晨，米拉对着空荡的房间做了一次演讲：没有头衔可以遮掩，她只能代表自己。那份寂静令人害怕，可当她从旧日生活中缺席，一种从未有过的存在感也随之出现。几个月后，她创办的小工作室，安静地见证了当初那个选择所需要的勇气。

ONE LINE TO KEEP
最后用一条线索收束整组关系。
这组词围绕在场、缺席、呈现和代表展开：present 与 presence 表示在场，presentation 表示呈现，absence 表示不在，而 represent 及其派生形式表示代替他者进行再现、说明或代表；这些词在历史上各自与拉丁语中关于存在的词源形式相关，但并非现代英语中的统一共同词根家族。
