A centrist often looks for compromise and for a mix of change and keeping things as they are. You meet it in news and political talk. It is not a rude word, but it is not always praise either: some people say it to mean careful and fair, and others say it to mean bland, or unwilling to pick a side.

Though actually, what counts as “the centre” moves with the country and the year — a centrist in one place can sound left or right in another. The word is about not being at the edge, not about a fixed list of ideas you could memorise.

Though actually不過其實 what counts as "the centre" moves with the country and the year什麼算是『中間』會隨著國家和年代改變 — a centrist in one place can sound left or right in another——同一個中間派，在一個地方聽起來可能偏左，在另一個地方卻可能聽起來偏右。The word is about not being at the edge這個字講的是不站在極端 not about a fixed list of ideas you could memorise而不是一份你可以背下來的固定立場清單。
