基本释意：
noun
time without end
n. 无穷无尽的时间；永恒，永久；永生；未来，来世；死
想起了 The Pretender 里Jarod说的他最喜欢的数字是8，横过来是无穷，infinity
同义词：

短释义：
Eternity means "forever," like living for all eternity. Or it can mean something that seems like it will go on for forever, like waiting an eternity for your sister to get out of the bathroom.
永恒的意思是“永远”，就像永远活着一样。或者它可能意味着一些似乎会永远持续下去的事情，比如永远等待你的妹妹从浴室里出来。
长释义：
Eternity means "time without end, or infinity," like people who promise to love one another for eternity — they aren’t planning to ever split up. When you put the word an before eternity, you can use it to describe a very long — too long — period of time, so that you can use it to complain. For example, you might use the phrase "it felt like an eternity," after waiting twenty minutes to get an ice cream cone.
永恒意味着“时间没有尽头，或无限”，就像那些承诺永远相爱的人一样——他们不打算永远分开。当你把an这个词放在永恒之前时，你可以用它来描述一段很长——太长——的时间，这样你就可以用它来抱怨了。例如，在等了 20 分钟才得到一个冰淇淋甜筒后，你可能会说“感觉就像永恒”。
文学例句：
The gate became a landmark that endured into the twenty-first century, long after the last hog crossed to eternity over the great wooden ramp called the Bridge of Sighs.
在最后一头猪越过称为叹息桥的巨大木坡道进入永恒很久之后，这座大门成为了一个持续到二十一世纪的地标。
—The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson
It was better to be meek and lowly, spat upon and abused for this little time than to spend eternity frying in the fires of hell.
与其在地狱的烈火中度过永恒的煎熬，不如在这短暂的时间里温顺谦卑，被吐口水和辱骂。
—I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
After an eternity I was at the door, soldiers hooting at my back.
永恒之后，我在门口，士兵们在我的背后鸣叫。
—Endangered by Eliot Schrefer

下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
eternity (n.)late 14c.，“永恒的品质”，来自古法语 eternité“永恒，永恒”(12c.)，来自拉丁语 aeternitatem（主格 aeternitas），来自 aeternus“持久，永久”，aeviternus 的收缩“伟大的年龄”，来自 aevum “年龄”（来自 PIE 词根 aiw-“生命力，生命；长寿，永恒”）。意思是“无限时间”是从 1580 年代开始的。在 Mercian 赞美诗中，拉丁语 aeternum 被古英语 ecnisse 所掩盖。相关条目及更多
