1. Of the meretricious splendour I had heard so much there is not a trace. 我听到过很多对此地豪华装饰的描述，但是我找不到一丝这样的痕迹。
2. The perspective just as moral truths, that are presented in their simplicity without the meretricious AIDS of ornament or glitter. 远景就象真理一样的朴实无华，没有任何矫揉造作和脑人耳目的虚饰。
3. It was a platinum fob chain simple and chaste in design, properly proclaiming its value by substance alone and not by meretricious ornamentation — as all good things should do. 这礼物就是一条白金表链，款式简单朴素，货真价实，不是靠花哨的包装、而是靠真正的质量正当地显示自己的价值，一切好的东西都应该如此。
