Dry speech- form of expression that the speech had no form anything that was interesting and it was not lively.
When something is not interesting, you can use a number of phrases to describe it. You may use the words: uninteresting, boring, monotonous, dull.
You may use the above words in the following ways:
-The principal's speech was so long and uninteresting, I started to doze off.

-My life is so dull/monotonous. There is nothing interesting that ever happens.
「つまらない」はいくつかの言い方ができます。

monotonous = 単調な
dull = 退屈な
これらの語は文の中では次のように使うことができます。

-Watching cricket is so boring. It plays all day and there is hardly anything interesting that usually happens.(クリケットは見ていても全然面白くない。一日中やって面白いことなんてほぼない)
-My life is so dull/monotonous. There is nothing interesting that ever happens.(毎日退屈だよ。面白いことなんて何にも起きない)
The two most common words to describe something that is not interesting are "uninteresting" and "boring." If you call something boring, it can be seen as rude so it might be better to use uninteresting in a professional setting. I hope that this helps. :)
When talking about something that is not interesting we can add the -un prefix to the word to make it, "uninteresting," which means the opposite.
In addition, we can also just use the adjective, "boring," which basically has the same meaning.
Example sentences :
- That speech was very boring.
- This subject is very uninteresting.
"interesting"(興味深い)でないことについて言いたいなら、"interesting" に接頭辞の "un-" をつけて、"uninteresting" とできます。"uninteresting" は "interesting" の反対の意味を表します。
また、シンプルに形容詞の "boring" を使うこともできます。これも基本的に同じ意味です。
例文:
- That speech was very boring.(あのスピーチは本当に退屈だった)
- This subject is very uninteresting.(この教科は本当に退屈だ)
「つまらない」は英語でだいたい boring 又は dull と言います。Boring はアメリカの言い方で、dull はイギリスの言い方ですが、どちらもニュアンスが同じです。例えば、「高校の校長先生のスピーチがつまらない」と言いたいなら My high school teacher's speech is so boring/dull と言えます。
