英语单词 trivial
英美音标 ['triviəl]
中文释义 adj.琐细的,价值不高的,微不足道的
vocab简明 Something that is trivial is not important or significant, such as the trivial details you shared with me about your trip to the post office this morning.
vocab扩展 Trivial can also describe something that isn't deep or meaningful, like a trivial movie that you'll forget about after the credits roll. It comes from the Latin word trivium: tri means "three" and via is "road." So a trivium is a "place where three roads meet," meaning a crossroads — just something ordinary. So something that is trivial is not worth remembering; it just isn't important.
