The language was so platitudinous.

B: Really?
I heard that it was quite a good book.
Plebeian after all was it?

A: Yes, it was full of musty ideas from pervious times, very out of touch with modern thinking.

B: I see.
It’s amazing to see so many unexciting books making it to the shelves these days.

我听说那本书不错。

遥这么多无聊的书也能被摆上书架，真令人惊讶。
