第1个单词：monumental
美音：/ˌmɑːnjuˈment(ə)l/，英音：/ˌmɒnjuˈment(ə)l/
含义：adj. 丰碑式的，伟大的；极大（坏，好等）的；纪念碑的，纪念性的；巨大的，庞大的

英文短含义：Whether it’s a monumental effort requiring vast amounts of strength or a monumental cruise ship with eleven floors and five sets of elevators, the word monumental describes something imposing or massive in size./
无论是需要巨大力量的巨大努力，还是拥有 11 层楼和 5 组电梯的巨大游轮，“不朽”这个词都描述了一些宏伟或巨大的东西。
英文长含义：Monumental can also refer to something that’s of outstanding importance or significance. A monumental decision for you would be one that changes your life — like the day you got engaged or when you decided to move to New York to be an actor. The word monumental can also be used if you’re talking about a monument, a statue or structure commemorating a person or event. You might admire the monumental stonework on the statue in the town square.
不朽的也可以指具有突出重要性或意义的事物。对你来说，一个具有里程碑意义的决定会改变你的生活——比如你订婚的那一天，或者你决定搬到纽约当演员的那一天。如果您在谈论纪念某个人或事件的纪念碑，雕像或结构，也可以使用“纪念性”一词。您可能会欣赏城镇广场雕像上的巨大石雕。

第2个单词：momentarily
美音：/ˌmoʊmənˈterəli/，英音：/ˈməʊməntrəli/
含义：adv. 片刻地，短暂地；<美>立刻
网络含义：即刻
英文短含义：The original meaning of the adverb momentarily was “lasting for brief time”: “She was daydreaming and momentarily lost her train of thought.” Today, the word is frequently used to mean “very soon.” A waiter might say to a hungry customer, “Your food will be ready momentarily.”/
副词momentally的本义是“持续短暂的时间”：“她在做白日梦，一时迷失了思路。”今天，这个词经常被用来表示“很快”。服务员可能会对饥饿的顾客说：“你的食物马上就做好了。”
英文长含义：When something is just about to happen, it will happen momentarily. Just before a concert begins, an announcer will often tell the audience it’s starting momentarily. But if you pause your movie momentarily so you can go grab a snack, that means you will put the movie on hold for a short time. The “lasting for a moment” meaning of this word is attested from the 1650s; it wasn’t used to mean “at any moment” until the 1920s.
当某事即将发生时，它会瞬间发生。就在音乐会开始之前，播音员通常会告诉观众它马上就要开始了。但是，如果您暂时暂停电影以便去吃点心，这意味着您将暂停电影一小段时间。这个词的“持续片刻”含义从 1650 年代就得到证实；直到 1920 年代，它才被用来表示“任何时候”。
