Helen: Hello, this is Real English from BBC Learning 1 English, I’m Helen.

Chen Li: 我是陈鹂,hello.


Helen: In Real English, we look at words and phrases that you might not find in your dictionary.


Chen Li: 是的,英语是一种十分惯用化的语言,所以,理解现实生活中人们常使用的固定表达和俚语也就十分必要了。


Helen: Today’s word is bland 2 – that's B.L.A.N.D. – bland.


Chen Li: Bland 意思是什么呢 Helen?


Helen: Well if something is bland it means it’s not interesting or exciting in any way.


Chen Li: 原来 bland 是个形容词,意思是乏味的。


Helen: So you might say 'That singer is very bland.'


Chen Li: 意思是,说这个歌手很乏味,没有什么有意思的。


Helen: Or, it's often used to describe food that has no taste.


Chen Li: 如果某种食品没有什么味道,也可以用这个词来形容。


Helen: You might say 'I don’t like rice on its own – it’s a bit bland.'


Chen Li: 仅仅吃米饭,自然是没有什么味道了。

D: Aw thanks. Yes I’m trying a new diet but the food is so bland.

Chen Li: Of course you’re not bland Helen. In fact you’re one of the most fun, exciting people I know.


Helen: Really? Wow, thanks.


Chen Li: However, these English sweets you gave me are rather bland. 我对这些糖果没有什么口味.
