1. 1

    A dullard is a stupid person — not just bad at one skill, but slow in the mind, with little spark or imagination. It is an old, insult. It sounds like a word from an old novel, not like what young people say in the playground today (they are more likely to say idiot, or something kinder). Because it is old, it can feel heavy and a bit comic when someone uses it now. It is still rude. The picture behind it is dull as in not sharp, not bright.

    笨蛋、呆瓜、沒想像力的人(偏書面、老式罵人話)

組成dull + -ard. Dull here means “not bright / not clever”. The ending -ard makes a person of that kind, and it is not a kind ending.
