    Not interesting in any way. Something boring makes you stop wanting to listen to it, watch it, or keep doing it.

    示範例句 · Example

    The video was so boring that half the class stopped taking notes.

    逐字那部影片如此無聊，以至於半個班都停止做筆記了。

    boring 講的是「那樣東西本身沒意思」，主詞是課、影片、遊戲或路程，不是人的心情。-ing 可以想成「這樣東西一直往外送出無聊」，所以說 The film was boring；-ed 的 bored 則像是「無聊落到你身上」，所以說 I was bored。中文兩句都講「很無聊」，這是最容易混的地方。

core核心畫面

Think of a thing that offers your attention nothing to grip: a speech with no surprise in it, a film where you can already guess every turn, a job that repeats the same hour all day. It is not painful — it simply gives you no reason to keep listening, watching, or continuing. 'Boring' is the -ing form, so it names the source of the feeling: the film, the class, the town.

可以想成：一個東西完全給不了你的注意力任何抓握點——沒有意外的演講、每個轉折你都猜得到的電影、一整天重複同一個小時的工作。它不讓人痛苦，只是給不出理由讓你繼續聽、繼續看、繼續做下去。這個字是 -ing 形，指向「造成感覺的來源」：那部電影、那堂課、那個小鎮。

    • A warm, soft, tender, sweet sensation. It's much like anesthesia– And mysteriously, my trembling gradually starts to lessen. Her faint breaths tickle my cheek. A very sweet scent. I abruptly feel a pressure against my chest. The great sword she carries is tearing the skin of my chest, boring into my flesh, threading through my bones, and steadily sinking its way into my body. Yet, numbed by the anesthesia of the kiss, I no longer feel any pain. Because you kill me like this, so gently– I unexpectedly become anguished. I'm on the verge of crying. To keep her from noticing, I look past her head, up at the dark gray sky that goes on dropping rain on us.
