Question

mediocre adj.平庸的；平凡的 (1) 卡利科拉克姆杰克平庸的成绩已成为海盗。(2) 这个四人组合将会让亚利桑纳在平凡的国家联盟西区非常具有竞争力。 The roots of the adjective mediocre are from the Latin medial, "middle," and ocris, "mountain." If you think about it, the middle of a mountain is neither up nor down and neither here nor there — just somewhere in between. The definition of mediocre is "of ordinary quality," "merely adequate," and "average." Another word that shares the same root is mediocracy, which means "government run by mediocre people" — an all-too-common condition.
