Eternal Meaning in English
word
释义
Lasting forever, with no end in time. It can describe religious or philosophical ideas, and it is also used less literally for something that feels like it goes on for a very long time.
用法与细微差别
More formal and literary than 'forever'. Common with nouns like 'life', 'love', 'truth', 'youth', and 'question': 'eternal life', 'eternal love', 'eternal truth'. In everyday speech, it often exaggerates annoyance or duration: 'the eternal problem', 'an eternal meeting'.
