| vocabulary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. |
| vocabulary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. |
