There are lots of lists of things that are awesome. There are also lots of list of things that suck. But where are all the lists about things in the middle?
生活中有些事情特别棒,也有些特别烂。那么介于这两者之间,既不好也不赖的东西有哪些呢?
The gloriously mediocre, the fantastically middle-of-the-road, the tie in a world of wins and losses... The things we are impressively ambivalent about deserve to be listified too.
食之无味弃之可惜,鸡肋是联系完美和糟糕之间的纽带……这些我们认为有些矛盾的事物也值得被列个清单哦。
1. Six hours of sleep
六小时睡眠
You're neither well rested, nor exhausted. Surviving, not thriving.
你既没有休息得非常好,也没有精疲力尽。生存,而非生活。
2. 30% Battery
手机电池剩余电量30%
So you don't need to charge right now, but you're going to need to soon. Or, soonish. probably.
所以你现在不必充电。但是你很快就需要充电了,也很可能是马上。
3. 10% Off
打九折
Is that a savings?
买这商品真的省钱了吗?
4. A 3-Day-Old Manicure
只能漂亮三天的美甲
Too chipped to look good, but too good to be replaced.
看上去不够漂亮,洗掉它又觉得可惜。
5. White Sneakers
白运动鞋
Clean and crisp. For now.
整洁清新,但稍纵即逝。
6. Cheap Umbrellas
便宜的雨伞
You served your purpose, little friend, if only for a little while.
亲爱的小伙伴,你完成了自己的使命,只是……寿命敢再长点吗!
7. Half-Zips
半拉链
Would it have been so hard to make the zipper go all the way down?
让拉链一拉到底难道就那么难吗?
8. Funtons
沙发床
Not a bed, not quite a couch.
既不是床,也算不上沙发。
9. Plain or Generic Chapstick
普通的无色唇膏
Nobody's writing a song about the taste of this thing. (We're looking at you, Katy.)
这唇膏的味道真不敢恭维,从来没有人为它写过歌。(看你了水果姐!)
10. Uscented Hand Soap
无香型洗手液
I appreciate the antibacterial properties, but you couldn't throw in some cucumber melon or something?
我倒是喜欢这里面的抗菌物质,但难道就不能放进点淡淡的黄瓜香或别的香味吗?
11. Cole Slaw
凉菜沙拉
Always the side-dish, never the bride. Or whatever.
永远是小菜一碟,从未超越主菜。不然还能怎样呢。
