第10课：无趣的 - 5 【迷你小对话】 A: The book I just finished was hard to read. The language was so platitudinous. B: Really? I heard that it was quite a good book. Plebeian after all was it? A: Yes, it was full of musty ideas from pervious times, very out of touch with modern thinking. B: I see. It’s amazing to see so many unexciting books making it to the shelves these days. A: 我刚看完的那本书让人难以读进去，语言太陈腐。 B: 是吗？我听说那本书不错。真的很平庸吗？ A: 对，都是些过时的旧观点，和现在的思想完全脱节了。 B: 这么回事呀。现在这么多无聊的书也能被摆上书架，真令人惊讶。 【语言点精讲】 platitudinous: 语言平淡乏味的；老生常谈的；陈词滥调的。 plebeian: 平常的；平庸的；粗俗的。 musty: 书过时的，废弃的。 out of touch with: 与……相脱离。 unexciting: 不令人兴奋的；不使人激动的；无聊的。 |
