<注释>In this world of impermanenceit seems that we have tried to hold on to a few things at least by using the wordpermanent. Coming ultimately from the present participlepermanôns of Latin permanôre, .to endure,. Middle Englishpermanent (first recorded around 425) also had to do with the enduring and the stable. When we consider some of the applications of this adjective,as inpermanent press, permanent tooth, we are struck by the relative evanescence of the so-called permanent.But perhaps never more so than in the case of the permanent wave.When asked what this phenomenon was,one journalist wrote in 932,.(so far as my experience goes): a wave that is anything but permanent..
在这个无常的世界里，看起来我们已经试图保持一些事物，至少通过使用permanent 这个词来保持。 最终来自意为.持久，持续.的拉丁文permanere 的现在分词 permanens， 中世纪英语permanent （大约在425年首次记录）也与持久和稳固的意思有关。 当我们考虑这个形容词的一些用法时，例如在句子耐久熨压,恒牙 中， 我们便会想到所谓永恒的相对的短暂性。但可能从不会因波浪式发型而想到此。当被问到这种现象是怎么回事时，一个新闻记者于932年写道：.（以我的经验而言）：卷曲发型恰恰不是永恒的.
