Question

bland adj.温和的；不油腻的；引不起兴趣的；平淡无奇的 (1) 他这样说着，脸上绽开了温和的笑容。(2) 看见那张温和的而又非常正直的脸足够使他们冷静下来。(3) 结果新闻报道往往是平淡无奇的。(4) 这也许会带来平淡无奇的标准化语言，但更多的则是适用于特定环境的充满个人色彩的语汇。 Bland comes to us from the Latin word blandus, meaning “mild, smooth, flattering, alluring.” Funny, because today you wouldn't say there's anything "alluring" about something bland. People still use bland to mean pleasant and tranquil, but it more often has a negative connotation. Use it to describe plain old oatmeal before you’ve added brown sugar and berries to it, or to depict the forgettable, uninteresting personality of the lunch lady who served it to you.
