1. 1不變的、看來永不改變的(偏書面)

    Changeless means it seems never to change. Mountains, the sea in a certain light, a habit that has been the same for fifty years — that is the kind of thing people call changeless.

    Changeless means它的意思是 it seems never to change看起來永遠不會變。 Mountains山, the sea in a certain light某種光線下的海, a habit that has been the same for fifty years或一個五十年來都沒變的習慣—— that is the kind of thing people call changeless這些就是大家會叫做changeless的東西。

    It is a quieter, more word than “the same” or “unchanged”. Unchanged usually means “not different from before, this time”; changeless paints a bigger picture, as if the thing does not know how to be different.

    You will meet it in stories and careful description more than in chat. Nobody says “my changeless password”.

    You will meet it你會在 in stories and careful description故事和用心的描寫裡遇到它 more than in chat比在聊天裡多。 Nobody says沒有人會說 "my changeless password"「my changeless password(我永不改變的密碼)」。

    Though actually, even the people who use it know that few things are truly without change — the word is often a feeling, not a science claim.

    Though actually不過其實, even the people who use it連用這個字的人都知道 know that few things are truly without change真正完全不變的東西很少—— the word is often a feeling這個字常常只是一種感覺, not a science claim不是科學上的斷言。
