Did You Know?

In its aquatic immature stages, the mayfly (order Ephemeroptera) has all the time in the world—or not quite: among the approximately 2,500 species of mayflies, some have as much as two years, but a year is more common. But in its adult phase, the typical mayfly hatches, takes wing for the first time, mates, and dies within the span of a few short hours. This briefest of heydays makes the insect a potent symbol of life's ephemeral nature. When ephemeral (from the Greek word ephēmeros, meaning "lasting a day") first appeared in print in English in the late 16th century, it was a scientific term applied to short-term fevers, and later, to organisms (such as insects and flowers) with very short life spans. Soon after that, it acquired an extended sense referring to anything fleeting and short-lived, as in "ephemeral pleasures."

在未成熟的水生阶段里，其实The mayfly一直存在在世界上——或是一种不完全的存在：在大约 2,500 种蜉蝣中，有些可以生活长达两年，但更常见的是一年。 但成年阶段的蜉蝣的孵化、第一次起飞、交配、再到短短几小时的死亡。 这一短暂的全盛时期成为它生命有力象征。 当 ephemeral在 16 世纪后期首次出现在英语中时，它是科学术语，指近期持续发烧，后来又指生物的寿命很短。 不久之后，它获得了一种延伸的含义，指转瞬即逝之物，例如“ephemeral pleasures「短暂的快乐」”。
