短释义：
The word descendant comes from the word “descend” which means to move in a downward direction. Note that the word can also be spelled with an “-ent” ending. Philosopher Herbert Spencer wrote, “The wise man must remember that while he is a descendant of the past, he is a parent of the future.” Have you ever wondered what your descendants will know about you? Perhaps you could leave them your peanut butter and banana sandwich recipe.
后裔这个词指的是已经下来的东西。例如，每个人都是后代，或者祖先的末端，就像现代艺术是过去艺术的后代，过去艺术对其风格和技术做出了贡献。
