Question

forever adv.永远 (1) 这一可怕事件永远深深地印刻在我的记忆中。(2) 这位封臣宣誓他将永远忠诚于国王。(3) 这对情人互相许诺永不变心。 The adverb forever literally means "eternally," so when you promise, "I'll love you forever." you mean it. You can also use forever in a less literal, more exaggerated way: "It is taking forever for the bus to get here," or to mean "without stopping," as when you comment that the rain can't continue forever. The word combines for and ever, which stems from the Old English æfre, "always."
