Those who encountered the young middleton ( catherine at home , kate at school ) vie with each other to hymn her blandness , her vanilla niceness .
那些与年轻时的米德尔顿(在家叫凯瑟琳,在学校叫凯特)邂逅过的人都争相赞美她的温柔和善良。
At some point , cooking is not a matter of skill ; it 's a matter of understanding , of learning to see the differences between one perfectly good pot of rice and another , of the minute details in something that , for most anyone else , is pure pearly blandness .
