【一天一点英语】2020.4.7.

当你感到无聊时，是否只会千篇一律地说：I'm bored! 或者是 It's boring!， 如果只懂这两种说法，那可就真的太无聊了，下面呢，我们再来扩展几个不同的说法。

1 . bore sb silly

字面意思为无聊地让某人变傻了，可见无聊的程度，所以引申为使某人觉得无聊透顶，比如说：

We were all bored silly by the play.

这出戏让我们觉得无聊得要死。

2 . It bores me to death.

这句话比较夸张，描述因为一件事太无聊很想去死。It bores me to death. 无聊到我想死。比如说：

The speeches went on for two hours. It bores me to death.

演讲持续了两小时，我快无聊死了。

3 . as dull as ditchwater

ditch 是水渠，而 ditchwater 就是水渠中的死水。as dull as ditchwater 形容事物无聊得像水渠中阴沉沉的死水一样，没有任何生气，非常枯燥乏味。比如说：

The book I've been reading is as dull as ditchwater, it has no story or any interest at all.

我读的这本书乏味得很, 根本没有情节, 一点意思也没有。
