trivial
含义: Of little value or importance; not worth considering seriously.
Trivial describes things that are too minor or unimportant to warrant attention. 'A trivial matter,' 'trivial details,' and 'trivial objections' are standard collocations. In mathematics, a 'trivial solution' is an obvious, uninteresting one. The word 'trivia' (derived from trivial) now refers to minor facts or questions, as in pub quiz trivia. 'Trivialise' means to make something appear less important than it is. The word ranges from mildly dismissive to sharply critical.
