There are lots of lists of things that are awesome. There are also lots of list of things that suck. But where are all the lists about things in the middle?

  生活中有些事情特别棒,也有些特别烂。那么介于这两者之间,既不好也不赖的东西有哪些呢?

  The gloriously mediocre, the fantastically middle-of-the-road, the tie in a world of wins and losses... The things we are impressively ambivalent about deserve to be listified too.

  食之无味弃之可惜,鸡肋是联系完美和糟糕之间的纽带……这些我们认为有些矛盾的事物也值得被列个清单哦。

  You're neither well rested, nor exhausted. Surviving, not thriving.

  7. Half-Zips

  半拉链

  Would it have been so hard to make the zipper go all the way down?

  让拉链一拉到底难道就那么难吗?

  10. Uscented Hand Soap

  无香型洗手液

  I appreciate the antibacterial properties, but you couldn't throw in some cucumber melon or something?
