adj.形容词
dull, bored, boring这几个词的词意有区别:boring是bore的现在分词转化成的形容词,表示“令人厌烦的”,主语可以是人,也可以是物; bored是bore的过去分词转化成的形容词,表示“感到厌倦的”,主语通常是人; dull指物意为“乏味的,无趣的”,指人意为“愚笨的,迟钝的”。 dull，tedious，monotonous，dreary这些形容词均表示“单调的、乏味的、厌烦的”之意。 dull指缺乏新鲜、吸引力或情趣而显得乏味、沉闷。 tedious侧重指文章、演讲、演出等冗长乏味或环境等单调、沉闷，缺乏活力，使感到不舒服。 monotonous指没有变化、重复单调的。 dreary侧重无趣味的，不活泼的事或思想状态。 13世纪进入英语，直接源自古英语的dol，意为呆笨的。
