生活鸡肋: 那些不好也不坏的微妙瞬间
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。

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