Question

lifeless adj.无生命的；无趣味的；死气沉沉的 (1) 科学家猜测在金星上没有生命。(2) 我受够了这种枯燥的生活。(3) 那是一场死气沉沉的演出。 You can use the adjective lifeless to describe once-living things, like people, animals, and plants, and you can also use it for objects that appear inert: "The creepy thing about that painting is the clown's lifeless eyes." Things that are duller or droopier than they should be are also lifeless, like your lifeless hair or a writer's lifeless prose. Less common is using lifeless to mean "with no living things," like the lifeless planet Venus.
