资源描述
bored 用于形容人,一般用作表语。如I am bored.
boring用于形容物,意思是令人厌烦的,乏味的。如 it is a boring day!
以上是我的理解。下面是在网上搜到的较好的解释。
Question: I always say "I’m boring" when I mean "I’m bored". How can I tell the difference?
Both sentences "I’m boring" and "I’m bored" are grammatically correct, though they mean very different things. The –ing ending means you are changing a situation, and the –ed ending means the situation is changing you.
If you are boring, then other people don’t want to be around you – you change them / bore them.
If you are bored, then something / someone near you is changing you and your feelings.
All of these pairs (e.g. tired / tiring, excited / exciting) are formed from verbs:
John bores Mary, so
Mary is bored.
John is boring.
这实际上就是分词的用法。现在分词V+ing表示主动或进行;过去分词V+ed表示被动或完成。因此,boring的意思是“令人烦恼的、烦人的”;bored的意思是“受到烦扰的、被扰恼的”。例如:a boring matter“烦人的事情; a bored mood“烦躁的心情”。
Why are you so interested in a such a ____(乏味的)film?

现在分词做定语表示令人怎么怎么样的,过去分词则表示修饰成分感觉到怎么怎么样了,比如the boring boy表示令人讨厌的男孩 the bored boy就表示感到厌烦的男孩
