词性：adj.  
音标： [blænd]  
释义： 平淡的，无趣的，没啥味道的

When you have a nasty cold and you’re very congested, food can taste unappealingly _bland_. That means dull, flavorless, or just plain “blah.”

_Bland_ comes to us from the Latin word _blandus_, meaning “mild, smooth, flattering, alluring.” Funny, because today you wouldn’t say there’s anything “alluring” about something bland. People still use _bland_ to mean pleasant and tranquil, but it more often has a negative connotation. Use it to describe plain old oatmeal before you’ve added brown sugar and berries to it, or to depict the forgettable, uninteresting personality of the lunch lady who served it to you.
