【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?
