“I'm boring” 的意思是“我是个无聊的人” 😅
✗ I'm boring. ✓ I'm bored.
以 -ed 结尾的词描述你的感受；以 -ing 结尾的词描述引起这种感受的事物（或人）。所以没事做、觉得无聊时，要说 “I'm bored.”。如果你说 “I'm boring.”，别人听到的是“我是个没意思的人”。
同样的陷阱，还有这些词
- bored / boring — I'm bored. The film is boring.
- interested / interesting — I'm interested in music. This book is interesting.
- tired / tiring — I'm tired. The trip was tiring.
- excited / exciting — The kids are excited. The game is exciting.
- confused / confusing — I'm confused. These rules are confusing.
