生活中没有什么是一成不变的,我们只有选择:对生活充满希望,继续前进。人生不长,有些精彩只能经历一次,人生的旅程,无论我们多么怀旧,都不能阻止它渐行渐远。即使你付出了一切,你也不能回到岁月。
好吧,今天的知识点来了。你知道英语怎么说“一成不变”吗?让我们和小航一起学习。
1. 一成不变 in a rut

(2) in a rut字面意思“在车辙里”,表示“(生活或工作)刻板乏味,
一成不变,千篇一律”
英语解释为living or working in a situation that never changes,
so that you feel bored。
(3) be (stuck) in a rut “刻板乏味,一成不变,千篇一律”
