mind-bumbing - 너무나 지루한

by 신실한자 2020. 2. 1.

mind-numbing 너무나 지루한

 

The work is very monotonous.

(‘Monotonous’ also describes voices and sounds that are boring because they stay the same, never going higher or lower).

 

Meanwhile, a job or activity that is extremely boring is sometimes described very emphatically as mind-numbing:

the mind-numbing task of data entry

 

A word that emphasizes that something is boring because there is nothing new or different about it is humdrum:

She longed to escape her humdrum existence.
