Bored or boring? 无聊（的人）还是无聊（的事）？
谈感受和状态。词汇：bored、boring、tired、excited、exciting、interested、interesting、worried、surprised、relaxed。核心语法：以 "-ed" 和 "-ing" 结尾的形容词。许多表示感受的词成对出现。"-ed" 的描述人的感受："I'm bored"、"She's tired"、"We're excited"。"-ing" 的描述引起感受的事物："The film is boring"、"The trip is exciting"、"This book is interesting"。所以人被一个无聊的事物弄得无聊（a person is bored BY a boring thing）。经典错误——而且会改变意思——是想说 "I'm bored" 却说成 "I'm boring"："I'm boring" 是在告诉别人是你让人昏昏欲睡！
Dialogue
I'm boring or I'm bored? — I'm boring 还是 I'm bored？
- Emma You look sad. Is everything okay? 你看起来不开心。一切都好吗？
- Minsu It's Sunday and I have nothing to do. I'm boring. 周日又没事做。我很无聊。（口误：说的是自己的感受，应用 "-ed"——"I'm bored"）
- Emma Careful — "I'm boring" means you make other people bored! You mean "I'm bored": you feel it. 小心——"I'm boring" 意思是你让别人觉得无聊！你想说的是 "I'm bored"：你自己感到无聊。
- Minsu Oh! So I'm bored, and Sundays are boring. 哦！所以是我 bored（感到无聊），而周日是 boring（令人无聊）。
- Emma Exactly! Come with me — there's a film festival. It's really interesting. 正是！跟我来——有个电影节。非常有趣。
- Minsu Great! Now I'm interested and excited. Let's go! 太好了！现在我既感兴趣又兴奋。走吧！

Grammar
感受：以 "-ed" 和 "-ing" 结尾的形容词
Explanation
许多表示感受的形容词成对出现——一个以 "-ed" 结尾，一个以 "-ing" 结尾——而且不能互换。"-ed" 形式描述«有感受的人»："I'm bored"、"She's tired"、"They're excited"、"He's worried"。"-ing" 形式描述«引起感受的事物»（或人）："This lesson is boring"、"The journey was tiring"、"The match is exciting"、"The news is worrying"。一个简单测试：问"谁有这感受？"→ "-ed"；问"什么引起的？"→ "-ing"。所以 "I am bored"（我有感受）但 "the film is boring"（它引起感受）。危险的错误是用 "-ing" 形式描述自己："I'm boring" 不表示你感到无聊——而是说你是个让所有人都无聊的人！"I'm interesting"（=我让别人着迷）对 "I'm interested"（=我想了解更多）也是同样的陷阱。这些形容词用在 "be" 后面：am / is / are / was / were + 形容词。
Examples
- I'm bored. This lesson is boring. 我很无聊。这堂课很乏味。
- She's very excited because the trip is so exciting. 她非常兴奋，因为这趟旅行太令人兴奋了。
- Are you interested in music? — Yes, I think music is very interesting. 你对音乐感兴趣吗？——是的，我觉得音乐很有趣。
- We were tired after the long walk. It was very tiring. 走了那么远，我们都累了。真是累人。
