Did You Know?

Continual existence—that elusive philosophical concept is reflected in perpetuity, which traces to Latin perpetuus, an adjective meaning "continual" or "uninterrupted." The word has specific legal use. It can refer, for example, to an arrangement in a will rendering land forever incapable of being surrendered or transferred (or at least, for a period longer than is set by rules against such arrangements) or to an annuity that is payable forever.

Continual existence「持续存在」——在 perpetuity中，这反映出一个难以捉摸的哲学概念，它可以追溯到拉丁语 perpetuus，形容词，意思是“continual「持续的」”或“uninterrupted「不间断的」”。 这个词有特定的法律用途。 例如，它可以表示遗嘱中的一项使得土地永远无法交出或转让的安排（至少长于禁止此类安排所规定的时间），或是指永久支付的年金。
