Intransient
“Intransient” 是一个形容词,意为“非瞬时的”、“永久的”或“持久的”。它是 “transient” (瞬时的,短暂的) 的反义词,强调某种状态或性质不会轻易改变或消失。
- “They sought an intransient solution to the long-standing border dispute.” (他们寻求一种能够永久解决长期边界争端的方案。)
- “The philosopher argued that the soul is an intransient essence of human beings.” (这位哲学家辩称,灵魂是人类一种永恒的本质。)
- “The artist wanted to capture the intransient beauty of the mountain range.” (艺术家想要捕捉山脉那永恒的美。)
- 词根:
trans-(穿过/改变) +i-(走,来自拉丁语 ire)。合起来 transire 意为“经过/穿过”。 - 派生: transient (短暂的), transition (过渡), exit (出口)。
- 前缀:
in-(否定前缀,意为“不”)。 - 后缀:
-ent(形容词后缀,表示“…性质的”)。
在哲学和神学讨论中,“intransient” 常用来描述神圣的事物、真理或永恒的法则,与世俗世界中“瞬息万变” (transient) 的本质形成对比。
- 反义词: transient (短暂的,转瞬即逝的)
- 名词形式: intransience (永恒,持久)
对比记忆:transient 像“列车 (train) 经过”,很快就没了;in-transient 就是“不经过”,一直停留在那里,即永久的。
“In a world where fashions are transient and fading, Clara looked for something intransient. She found it in the old oak tree behind her house, which had stood firm for centuries, witnessing the rise and fall of many summers.” (在一个时尚转瞬即逝、不断消退的世界里,克拉拉在寻找一些永恒的东西。她在屋后的那棵老橡树上找到了它,它屹立了几个世纪,见证了无数个夏天的兴衰。)
