And if truth never perishes, the more truth you contain, the more imperishable you yourself become.
如果真理永消逝,你所包含真理越多,你自己就越朽。
Notwithstanding, I feel confident that if every sequoia in the Range were to die today, numerous monuments of their existence would remain, of so imperishable a nature as to be available for the student more than ten thousand years hence.
尽管如此,我有信心,如果今天山脉中每一棵红杉都死去,它们存在无数纪念碑将留下来,它们具有如此朽性质,以至于一万多年后学生都可以使用。
