词性：adj. 音标： [ɪnˈsɪpɪd] 释义：枯燥的，不吸引人的，无生气的，乏味的，[饮食]清淡的 Something _insipid_ is lacking in flavor or interest. You’ll probably find the generic poems inside of greeting cards _insipid_. _Insipid_ comes from the Latin _insipidus_, the opposite of _sapidus_ which means flavorful. Because spices and salts are left out, hospital food is usually considered insipid. The most common use of the word is in a metaphorical sense for dull or flat. You might think that your goody-two-shoes cousin is the most insipid girl you’ve ever met. ---
