Is annoying a synonym of boring?

I know boring means uninteresting or dull, and annoying means irritating or bothering, for me they are totally different, so I was surprised to see "bore" being translated as "使厌烦"(which means annoying somebody) in most English-Chinese bilingual dictionaries(Oxford, Cambridge, Longman etc.).

I wonder if they are synonyms.

Solution 1:

According to Oxford Living Dictionary these adjectives are not synonyms.

BORING:

Not interesting; tedious.
- ‘I've got a boring job in an office’

(Synonyms: tedious, dull, monotonous).

vs

ANNOYING:

Causing irritation or annoyance.
- ‘unsolicited calls are annoying’

(Synonyms: irritating, infuriating, exasperating, maddening, trying, tiresome, troublesome, bothersome, irksome, vexing, vexatious, galling, provoking, displeasing).

Solution 2:

I think in posh British circles (especially in earlier centuries) to say someone is a bore means that they are annoying. If the book you’re reading refers to upper class British people then the translation you have is probably correct. However, in American English boring and annoying are two different ideas.
