本次我们来辨别2个单词，它们分别是：

第1个单词：entity
美音：/ˈentəti/，英音：/ˈentəti/
含义：n. 实体，独立存在体
网络含义：实体
英文短含义：If your little sister turns her lemonade stand into a lemonade empire, she might incorporate it as a company. Under the law, it would be considered an entity, or a separate being for purposes of government control./

英文长含义：The word entity originally meant “being, existence,” and was borrowed from Medieval Latin entitas, from Latin ens, irregular form of esse “to be, exist.” The suffix –ity means “quality or state.” Medieval Christian philosophers, influenced by the Church Fathers and Aristotle, discussed the concept of ens “abstract being” versus esse “actual being.”
实体一词最初的意思是“存在，存在”，是从中世纪拉丁语 entitas 借来的，来自拉丁语 ens，esse 的不规则形式“存在，存在”。后缀 –ity 表示“质量或状态”。受教父和亚里士多德影响的中世纪基督教哲学家讨论了 ens “抽象存在”与 esse “实际存在”的概念。

第2个单词：eternity
美音：/ɪˈtɜːrnəti/，英音：/ɪˈtɜːnəti/
含义：n. 无穷无尽的时间；永恒，永久；永生；未来，来世；死
网络含义：永恒
英文短含义：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./

英文长含义：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“没有尽头的时间或无限”，就像承诺永远相爱的人一样——他们不打算分手。当你把an这个词放在永恒之前，你可以用它来形容一段很长——太长——的时期，这样你就可以用它来抱怨。例如，您可能会在等待二十分钟后拿到一个冰淇淋蛋筒后使用“感觉就像永恒”这样的短语。
