平平无奇

☞ [2018-09-06] 平平无奇

朗文当代高级英语辞典（英英·英汉双解）（第 4 版）

middle-of-the-road
……
informal ordinary and not new, different, or exciting 【非正式】普通的，一般的，平平无奇的:
» Their first album was quite good, but the second was very middle-of-the-road stuff. 他们的第一张专辑很好，但第二张却很一般。

《第 5 版》将“平平无奇”改为“平凡无奇”，当然 middle-of-the-road 看上去并不形容相貌。
