(3)Trivial refers principally to what is so insignificant as to be utterly commonplace or unremarkable:
Trivial 主要指那些極其無關緊要的因此完全不值得注意或是十分平凡的東西：
「I think all Christians . . . agree in the essential articles, and that their differences are trivial, and rather political than religious」 (Samuel Johnson). Something trifling is so unimportant or so small as to be scarcely worth notice:
「我認為所有的基督徒…在主要問題上的意見是一致的，而他們的分歧都是不重要的，而且往往是政治方面的而非宗教方面的」 （塞繆爾·約翰遜）。trifling 指的是某物太小或太不重要以致於幾乎不值得注意：
「I regret the trifling narrow contracted education of the females of my own country」 (Abigail Adams).
「我對於自己國家給予女性的微不足道的、狹隘的、有限的教育表示遺憾」 （阿比蓋爾·亞當斯）。
(4)Paltry especially describes what falls so far short of what is required or desired that it arouses contempt:
Paltry 尤其用來形容那些完全沒有達到要求的或希望的標準而引起鄙視的情緒的：
「He . . . considered the prize too paltry for the lives it must cost」 (John Lothrop Motley).
「他…認為獎金與它所奪去的生命相比太微不足道了」 （約翰·洛斯羅浦·莫特萊）。
(5)Petty can refer to what is of minor or secondary significance or size; the term can suggest meanness of spirit:
Petty 可以指那些重要性或大小是較小或第二位的東西；這個詞也會令人想起精神上的偏狹或小氣：
「Our knights are limited to petty enterprises」 (Sir Walter Scott).
「我們的騎士被局限於瑣碎的事業」 （華爾特·司各特爵士）。
「Always give your best, never get discouraged, never be petty」 (Richard M. Nixon). What is picayune is of negligible value or importance:
「永遠奉獻出你最好的，絕不灰心，絕不吝嗇」 （理查德·N·尼克森）。picayune 的東西是微不足道的或不值一提的：
Giving a police officer a free meal may be against the law, but it seems to be a picayune infraction.
給一位警官提供一頓免費的飯食或許違反了法律，但這看上去是不值一提的違法。
註釋
Trivial Pursuit is an etymologically sound name, because roads and traveling, which might involve pursuit, are involved in the origin of the word trivial. The history of trivial begins with the Latin word trivium, formed from the prefix tri-, 「consisting of three of the things named,」 and via, 「road.」 Trivium meant 「the meeting place of three roads, especially as a place of public resort.」 Hence it also had a pejorative sense, which we express by the phrase the gutter, as in 「His manners were formed in the gutter.」 The adjective trivi3, derived from trivium, meant 「appropriate to the street corner, commonplace, vulgar.」 Trivial entered Middle English in senses that need not detain us here, first being recorded in a sense identical to that of trivi3s in 1589. Shortly after that trivial is recorded in the sense most familiar to us, 「of little importance or significance.」
Trivial Pursuit 從詞源學的角度來看是合理的詞， 因為可能涉及到追求的道路和旅行都與trivial 這個詞的來源有關。 trivial 的歷史從拉丁詞 trivium 開始， 由前綴tri- 意思是「由三個給定的東西組成的」和 via 「道路」構成。 Trivium 的意思是「三條路交匯的地方，尤指公眾常去的地方」。 自此它又有了一層帶貶意的意思，我們用短語貧民區裡的 來表示這層意思， 如在句子」他的禮儀是在貧民區學成的」。從trivium 派生出來的形容詞 trvialis 意思為「用於街道角落的，平凡的，粗俗的」。 Trvial 進入了中古英語， 當時的意思不會使我們停止不前。最早的記錄是在1589年，意思與trivialis 相同。 不久以後，trivial 的意思變得與我們更接近了， 即「瑣碎的，不重要的或無價值的」
