第10課:無趣的 - 1
【迷你小對話】
A: The applied mathematics conference was absolutely dry. Hardly an interesting word was said.
B: Yes, those are totally arid of interest. What tedious material to have to listen to all day!
A: That’s right. And most of the speakers took that lifeless subject and made it worse.
B: It was totally monotonous. I was glad to get away from there.
A: 這次的應用數(shù)學討論會實在是無聊,一點有意思的東西都沒有涉及到。
B: 可不是,太枯燥無味了。整天聽些冗長乏味的材料,真沒勁。
A: 沒錯,更糟糕的是大多數(shù)發(fā)言者選的還都是些毫無生氣的話題。
B: 簡直是單調(diào)極了。幸好我從那兒逃出來了。
