词性：adj.  
音标： [pərˈpetʃuəl]  
释义：无休止的，连续不断的，一直重复的，永久的，永恒的

In casual usage, though, you might hear someone say “This _perpetual_ bad weather needs to clear.” Maybe it should come as no surprise to find people using the word to describe things that are not truly everlasting — since so few things really are.

perpetual motion: 永动机
