第10课:无趣的 - 12
【迷你小对话】
A: It’s dull speaking to that old fellow. He never stops talking, even if you aren’t listening. I try to yawn so he knows, but he just keeps going.
B: Yes, what an old stick-in-the-mud! His stories go over like a lead balloon.
A: 和那个老家伙说话真是枯燥。你不听,他也讲。我都打呵欠向他示意了,他还在那儿说个不停。
B: 真是个木头木脑的家伙!他的故事没人爱听。
【语言点精讲】
dull: 用来形容某事平淡无味或非常无聊。
yawn: 打呵欠。
stick-in-the-mud: 无趣或无热情的人;拒绝尝试新事物的人。
go over like a lead balloon: a lead balloon,一个用铅做的气球。毫无疑问这样的气球是会向下沉的。这个短语用来形容某事无趣或不能被很好地接受。
