信不信：无聊大会受热捧1

This year's Boring Conference, held at London's Conway Hall on 7 May, was the sixth consecutive event in the last six years and all 425 tickets were sold out in just a few days. Ward always opens up the event himself, because he likes to "set the bar low". If people start with poor expectations, then the show can only improve, he says. Last year, he spoke about postcard photos of the old Post Office Tower.

今年的无聊大会于5月7日在伦敦康威会堂举办，这是过去六年来连续举办的第六次活动，一共425张票，短短几天就卖光了。沃德总是第一个讲话，因为他想把“目标设低”。他说如果人们一开始就不抱什么期望的话，演出就只会越来越好。去年他讲的是明信片上老邮政大楼的照片。

According to the event's website, "The Boring Conference is a one-day celebration of the mundane, the ordinary, the obvious and the overlooked; subjects often considered trivial and pointless, but when examined more closely reveal themselves to be deeply fascinating."

根据此活动的网站，“无聊大会为期一天，是一场庆祝平凡普通、显而易见却又容易被忽略的事物的活动；那些经常被视作微不足道、毫无意义的事物，一旦更仔细地审视它们，就会发现其中深藏的魅力。”

Past topics of discussion at the Boring Conference have included – sneezing, IBM tills, toast, vending machine sounds, barcodes, the Shipping Forecast and other such topics of no interest to anyone. This year's event had 20 speakers cover similar snoozeworthy subjects – such as the domestic inkjet printers of 1999, German film titles, cooking elaborate meals with hotel room equipment, and the similarities between the world’s national anthems – in 10-minute slots.
