　　第10課：無(wú)趣的 - 5

　　【迷你小對(duì)話】

　　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: 我剛看完的那本書(shū)讓人難以讀進(jìn)去，語(yǔ)言太陳腐。

　　B: 是嗎?我聽(tīng)說(shuō)那本書(shū)不錯(cuò)。真的很平庸嗎?

　　A: 對(duì)，都是些過(guò)時(shí)的舊觀點(diǎn)，和現(xiàn)在的思想完全脫節(jié)了。

　　B: 這么回事呀。現(xiàn)在這么多無(wú)聊的書(shū)也能被擺上書(shū)架，真令人驚訝。
