Normal People series based on Sally Rooney novel delivers on the sex and heartbreak: Marianne Sheridan (Daisy Edgar-Jones) is a brilliant, spikey ( = spiky [spaɪki] adj I. Something that is spiky has one or more sharp points. Her short spiky hair is damp with sweat. ...tall, spiky evergreen trees. II. easily offended or annoyed. "she sounded spiky and defensive". ), wealthy, loner in her final year of high school in Sligo, a county on Ireland's north west coast. The series traces the two through the throes of ( throes [θroʊz] the final/last/death throes of something the last stages of something, just before it ends, usually when it is ending badly. The last throes of my career. in the throes of something I. involved in a difficult or unpleasant situation or activity. The country remains in the throes of a bitter conflict. II. if someone is in the throes of passion, they are having sex. III. if someone is in the throes of love, they are in love with someone. She was in the throes of her first serious love affair. ) first love and onto university as the lovers are magnetically 磁石一般的 drawn together only to keep falling apart. "What this work captures is the sort of halting beauty of first love 初恋, in all of its intensity, all of its uncertainty, and it's something authentic and recognisable," Strong says. While Strong considers the series to be "exquisite" he also recognises Normal People can be a polarising watch. "It's a series of very first-world problems that it depicts … and I appreciate that some people might find the narrative speed a little bit of a slow burn, but I think that misses the point," Strong says. But many have praised the series' frank depictions of sex. "This is a very sweaty and heady heterosexual love affair( I. affecting you in a strong and pleasant way. the heady scent of jasmine. II. very exciting and making you feel that you can achieve anything you want. the heady freedom of the late 1960s. ), and I think viscerally ( visceral [ˈvɪsərəl] 发自内心的. 发自肺腑的.

"The lovemaking is extremely physical and very real, and often without music and without those sorts of additions that often smooth over some of the awkwardness of it." Jinx has some reservations about the characterisation of Normal People's male lead. While Marianne is the outcast in their high school, once they go off to college the power dynamics shift and she seems to easily slot into the intelligentsia of Trinity College, swanning around in boho chic ensembles, and cooking effortlessly sophisticated meals for pals in the unrealistically photo-ready kitchen of her family-owned house in Dublin. Meanwhile Connell, who has all the smarts to make it at college but no means to finance it, is a bit discombobulated ( discombobulate [ˌdɪskəmˈbɑbjʊleɪt] to make someone very confused. ) by Trinity. "It's not just a love story, it's accessing a broader theme of belonging, of people finding out where they fit, not just with other people, but in the world more generally," Strong says. "The work's undercurrent of class 阶级 and class difference makes it much more complex." "He's the brooding, silent type who plays football, he hangs out with the lads, and yet he's the most intelligent person Marianne has ever met … he's great in the sack," Jinx says before listing off more dreamy qualities 梦换的属性, 特质. Jinx did however appreciate how the screen adaptation does away with the novel's flashback 穿插回忆 structure and follows a more conventional linear narrative. But any quibbles and mild reservations or impatience with the novel sort of melted away when I watched the screen adaptation," Strong says. He says the Normal People team have achieved what he describes as "the holy grail of adaptation": "to create something using source material that is not just a work of art in its own right, but that is arguably an even greater work of art than the source material." If you're looking for similar vibes, some have compared the show to the queer romance film Call Me By Your Name — but Australian director Sophie Hyde's 2019 film Animals (based on the novel by Emma Jane Unsworth), in which Holliday Grainger and Alia Shawkat play two friends drinking and sleeping their way through Dublin, might be a more apt comparison.
Bosch Season 3: 1. I understand you had a visit. Just chumming the waters ( chum the waters: dumping bait or something into the waters to attract fish. Chumming (American English from Powhatan) is the practice of luring various animals, usually fish such as sharks, by throwing "chum" into the water. Chum is bait consisting of fish parts, bone and blood, which attract fish, particularly sharks owing to their keen sense of smell. ). And that's how shit surfaces. If they had anything, they'd have come with a warrant. South Bay? On my way. Take Woody with you. What? Look, I'd rather solo, Captain. He's baked ( bake If places or people become extremely hot because the sun is shining very strongly, you can say that they bake. If you closed the windows, you baked. Britain bakes in a Mediterranean heatwave. ) all day every day. Useless. Less me, more we, Moreno. 2. I am serious. So, aside from, uh... me turning you on to my favorite tamale truck. I need a sounding board 意见, 反馈 ( a person or group whose reactions to suggested ideas are used as a test of their validity or likely success before they are made public. "friends are sounding boards who let you know how far you can go".). Somebody I can trust. You know, is a player but isn't in the game anymore. I'm the best you can do? Afraid so. Shoot. Caught one the other day. Another detective came to the scene, you know, hard charger( very aggressive, determined, or ambitious. hard-driving, a hard-charging young executive. determined and often forceful in doing a job: She is a hard-charging 咄咄逼人的 attorney.

I ask him about it, he says he made a mistake. Took off his glove. He's not the type. Anyone can make a mistake. You think he might be involved? The thought crossed my mind 有那么一闪念.

Let it go. You know me better than that. Yeah. That's why I retired early. You wore me out. Can't take it to my lieutenant.

Gone in the morning before I got up. Raided my purse, as usual. Any idea who he hangs with? Friends? I'm sorry, I don't. First time he ran off, he was 12. His life has been a mystery to me ever since. On the streets, living in... What do you call them? Squats? Pain in my fuckin' ass. Judges me for how I make a living. But you'd take him back in a minute, wouldn't you? Probably, yeah. 'Cause I'm, uh, big-hearted( If you describe someone as big-hearted, you think they are kind and generous, and always willing to help people. ...a big-hearted Irishman. ). What do you think? Nice. You're sweet. Not a very good liar, but thanks. It's all about the light. The right light will hide a multitude of sins. 4. How did he know to come up behind you? I don't know. There's nothing you can think of might have blown your cover 暴露? You know, fuck you, Moreno. I told you not to underestimate him. Did he make you 认出来 ( To identify one as a criminal or wrongdoer. Often used in passive constructions. You made sure nobody could make you while you stole the documents, right? By the time I realized I had been made, I could already hear the police sirens coming toward me. )? No, he didn't make me. Xavi, see what you can find out. If he made Woody, I want to know. He didn't make me, goddamnit. Find out where his head's at. You got it, Cap. 5. We lifted 采集到指纹, 发现指纹 your prints off the RV door. You lied to me. Anything about your story true? All right, I went and I tried the door. All right? Then I got out of there. You saw the body? Yeah, I did. I freaked and I split 跑了. That's all. Okay, look, you're not a suspect. I just need some help here is all. Nobody's gonna ever know we talked. Wouldn't hurt you to have a friend in the department. Yeah, so I'm taggin', all right? A car pulls up. Black SUV you told me about. Someone gets out, they go in, they come right back out, like, a minute later, they take off. 6. You just won the lottery. Harry's on the streets, so I got an extra (多了一杯咖啡). Lottery, huh? That mean you get to walk over to the coffee table, and get me two packs of sugar? Way ahead of you 想到头里去了, 先你想到了, 早就想到了, 提前想到了(已经拿了糖了), brother. Appreciate it. What's going on with Gunn? Beats me. You have to ask Robertson. Right now he has me chasing down watch band and bezel patterns. What's a bezel? The metal circle that secures the crystal on a watch. What for? Marks on Gunn's neck and back. Robertson thinks choke hold, maybe. Like old school LAPD. You ever do that? Choke somebody out? No, way before my time 太古老了, 比我还老. Well, Robertson seems to know a lot about it. I don't know what he's thinking. Give it time. If it's any consolation 给你个安慰, I worked with Harry for months before he trusted me enough to even have a cup of coffee with him. 7.

In 2005, McKennitt was involved in an acrimonious court case
in England when her former friend and employee, Niema Ash, published a
book, Travels with Loreena McKennitt: My Life as a Friend, that
contained intimate details of their friendship. McKennitt argued that
much of the book contained confidential personal information that Ash
had no right to publish. The English courts found that there had indeed
been a breach of confidence and a misuse of McKennitt's private
information, and the case is likely to set important precedents in the
law of England and Wales on the privacy of public figures. ceremonious [ˌserəˈmoʊniəs] 有仪式感的, 符合仪式的 appropriate for a ceremony.

Alimony
is money that a court of law orders someone to pay regularly to their
former wife or husband after they have got divorced. Compare palimony. A great deal of Jeff's money went in alimony to his three former wives. Palimony is the division of financial assets and real property on the termination of a personal live-in relationship
wherein the parties are not legally married. The term "palimony" is not
a legal or historical term, but rather a colloquial portmanteau of the
words pal and alimony coined by celebrity divorce attorney Marvin
Mitchelson in 1977 when his client Michelle Triola Marvin filed an
unsuccessful suit against the actor Lee Marvin. While the suit was
unsuccessful in this instance, the courts found that "in the absence of
an express agreement, courts may look to a variety of other remedies to
divide property equitably." It is unclear as to how many states
currently expressly [ɪkˈspresli] ( I. formal 明确无误的 in a way that is clear and definite. The students were expressly forbidden to use the Internet for their research on this occasion. II. for a particular purpose. She came expressly to see you.) forbid any kind of palimony to be awarded. That is to say, how many states allow both partners in an unmarried cohabitation,
to expressly keep all that is under their own name, including income
and property. But it is widely recommended by legal offices across the
country that prior to committing to an unmarried but romantic
cohabitation, the couple should enter into a legal cohabitation
agreement prior to moving in together. 2. Alimony( ['æliməni] 离婚相关的 配偶抚养费, 赡养费 I. Law
An allowance for support made under court order to a divorced person by
the former spouse, usually the chief provider during the marriage.
Alimony may also be granted without a divorce, as between legally
separated persons. II. A means of livelihood; maintenance.) (also called aliment (Scotland), maintenance (England and Wales), spousal support (U.S./Canada) and spousal maintenance (Australia)) is a legal obligation on a person to provide financial support to his or her spouse before or after marital separation or divorce. The obligation arises from the divorce law or family law of each country. Traditionally, alimony was paid by a husband to his former wife, but since the 1970s there have been moves in many Western countries to gender equality 性别平等 with a corresponding recognition that 相应的承认 a former husband may also be entitled to alimony from his former wife. Once dissolution proceedings commence, either party may seek interim 过渡期的 or pendente lite ( pendente lite [pɛnˌdɛnteɪ ˈlʌɪti,-ˌdɛnti] during litigation. depending on the outcome of litigation. ) support during the course of the litigation. Where a divorce or dissolution of marriage 婚姻解体 (civil union) is granted, either party may ask for post-marital alimony. It is not an absolute right绝对权利, but may be granted, the amount and terms varying with the circumstances根据实际情况而不同. Unless the parties agree on the terms of their divorce in a binding written instrument, the court will make a determination based on the legal argument and the testimony submitted by both parties. This can be modified at any future date未来任何时候 based on a change of circumstances by either party on proper notice to the other party and application to the court. The courts are generally reluctant to modify an existing agreement unless the reasons are compelling除非理由充分. In some jurisdictions the court always has jurisdiction to grant maintenance should one of the former spouses become a public charge. One who allows his or her alimony obligations to go into arrears 过期不偿付, where there is an ability to pay有支付能力, may be found in contempt of court藐视法庭 and be sent to jail. Alimony obligations are not discharged 责任免除 as a result of the obligee filing bankruptcy. Ex-spouses who allow child-support obligations to go into arrears may have certain licenses seized, be found in contempt of court, and/or be sent to jail. Like alimony, child-support obligations抚养孩子义务 are not discharged as a result of the obligee filing bankruptcy. ), a lot of us lined up for 排队 our turn at the trough, too. How so?

For example, people have called such arguments "wedge" or "thin edge of the wedge", "camel's nose" or "camel's nose in the tent", "parade of horrors" or "parade of horribles", "domino", Boiling Frog and "this could snowball" arguments. All of these metaphors suggest that allowing one practice or policy could lead us to allow a series of other practices or policies."

You sent that video to the Times. You had cameras on Gunn. I was on my way to see Mark Taylor about it when I got shot. You found the camera in the kitchen. You got the murder on video? It would turn this into a slam. Cameras inside were dead. But not outside, where it got them 拍到了 going up and in. The Cadillac's not in the shot, Harry.

Which will contradict his original statement to the detectives. When he was staging the scene. Mm-hmm. After the security guy, the DNA evidence. Defense will say the sex was consensual.

As far as we know, they haven't threatened her. When did you speak to her last? Bosch is staying in touch with her. It's not going to be a problem. Word to the wise, Anita. Anything other than a professional relationship with Detective Bosch... is a bad idea. And not my style 不是我的做事风格. 16. Better make sure that thing's waterproof. That bitch Benitez.

Just a stroke of good fortune( a stroke of work informal any work at all They haven't done a stroke of work 一点点工作 all day. at/on the stroke of sth exactly at a particular time: Fireworks started at the stroke of ten. a stroke of luck 天上掉馅饼 something good that happens to you by chance: He had exactly the part that I needed so that was a stroke of luck. ). Excellent. What about Bosch? We're ready to go after him in social media. Level of interest in your case, Andrew, is, uh, quite high. My publicist could help. Again, this cannot look like it came from us. All right. Tell me the story you came up with. Just the slug line. Movie-of-the-week detective becomes murder suspect. Oh, come on, it's tired ( 老套了, tropey 老掉牙的). Don't you think? A bit dull. I'm open to suggestions, Andrew. Oh, don't get your panties in a twist ( get (one's) panties in a twist 过于情绪化, 过于不安 To become overly upset or emotional over something, especially that which is trivial or unimportant. Primarily heard in US, South Africa. Ah, don't get your panties in a twist, I'll have the car back by tomorrow morning! In my opinion, people are getting their panties in a twist over this election.), J.R. I don't expect you to be a creative. What about... hashtag down and dirty detective? Now that's click bait. Fucking perfect. I always say you're a genius, Andrew. One of the few directors worthy of the appellation "auteur." All right, now let's not overdo it, J.R. 17. I was thinking. How could he afford to live in that zip code running weekend charters? Maybe he's selling shark fins to Asia. I had Sacciano do a financial workup this past April to October... Dobbs, Marino, and Woodrow were on payroll of 拿工资, 领工资, 在花名册上 a company called A4 Dynamics. A4 Dynamics. What is that? I'm still working on that. My bet, it's a shell company for Dobbs Corp. Copies of Dobbs' credit card statements... for April and October. The highlighted charges. 18. Where's Connie? Uh, she's not coming. Uh, she's given me power of attorney. We still have things to discuss. She said yes to everything you asked for. She's not contesting 不打算争 anything. All we need is your signature, and, uh, this will be done. We'll get it filed today. Good? Fine. Look, I didn't mean to, uh, ambush 出其不意 you, but Connie didn't want me to tell you ahead of time. Why? Uh, she's tired of talking about it. She just wants to move on. 19. know how they got in. How? There's a faint abrasion pattern along the edge of the door. Probably fishing line, maybe monofilament. Any prints? Maybe tomorrow morning I'll cruise by the Marina. Can't hurt. What do you think it is? O'Shea thinks drugs or cash, maybe antiquities ( antiquity [ænˈtɪkwəti] I. uncountable ancient times, especially the period of time before the end of the Roman Empire in 476 a.d. II. countable usually plural an object or building that existed in ancient times and still exists. III. uncountable formal the state of being extremely old. ). A jeep full of gold. You are hung up on that Jeep. I just can't stop thinking about it. In my mind it's a solid gold jeep. Whatever it is, this last time, they left Meadows behind. Doing dope, running his mouth 大嘴巴, 到处乱说话. He'd gone to pieces, so they shut him up. Sharkey, too. Yeah. Sharkey. Wrong place, wrong time. Bad luck. His whole life. Well, good on Maddie. The coach wants her to join the travel team. Do a workup ( A workup 体检 is a detailed medical examination of a patient. Her husband's health is excellent, according to a full medical workup just completed. ) on him? No. Why not? The coach is a woman. So? Do it. Trust me. So when do you hear 得到结果, 知道结果 about the captain's exam? I heard. Next to last band. Gonna die on that list. Shit. Sorry. What happened? Kiz. I mean, I can't prove it, but... Well, you can take it again in two years. It'll be ancient history. No, no, no, no. I'm done. You know what? The truth is I think I wanted to make captain more than I wanted to actually be one. But I'm happy where I am with you assholes. Where you belong. That's right. To my assholes. I think that toast was probably a first. It's been a rough one for you. That tunnel vision you get when you work a case, right? Sure. I didn't pay attention. I didn't protect my witness. Now that boy's going home the wrong way. I keep telling you. It's not your fault, Harry. I mean, it isn't. Wow. Look who it is. Rhodes. How's life in the fast lane? Beats humping a shamu. 20. A couple of decent prints we missed the first time. Entry, door, face plate, and latch bolt. Like, whoever broke in held his finger up against it after he picked it open 撬开. Security chain. Potter noticed the top of the door was scuffed. Killer snagged the chain with fishing line, looped it up over the door, and slid the guard frame. Sounds like a two-man job. Sounds like an assumption. Educated guess. When you do it, it's an educated guess, but when I do it, it's an assumption? 21. Got to be cash they shipped back. All the pieces line up. Not this cash, though. No. Too long ago, but probably where they got the idea in the first place. Goshen says there's more money floating around Afghanistan now than there was in Iraq. Less oversight. But why not, I don't know, drugs or weapons? Anything else they bring in they're going to take a huge hit on when they try to sell it here. Cash is cash. Yeah, but they still have to launder it. Well, but nobody gives a shit about that on this end, except for maybe the taxes. Perfect crime. Till Sharkey unraveled it. 22. Where have you been? There's a Crowe problem? She's in Europe shooting a TV show. Harry, damn it. God. If you would've just... There was nothing we could have done. This is pure Holland. He pulled some strings, got her a part. She was probably making her connection at Frankfurt while you were still leaving her messages. They tampered with my fucking witness. Add that to all the other things we have to prove. We get together tonight? Figure out where we're going to go from here? I can't. I'm sorry. Okay. Tomorrow? I'll see how my day goes 看今天是个什么结果吧, 看看今天怎样吧. We should put eyes on Dobbs and Marino in case they try to book ( book I. When a referee books a football player who has seriously broken the rules of the game, he or she officially writes down the player's name. The referee booked him in the first half for a tussle with the goalie. II. When a police officer books someone, he or she officially records their name and the offence that they may be charged with. They took him to the station and booked him for assault with a deadly weapon. III. To leave. He was here earlier, but he booked. ). Billets is going to pitch a fit about extra bodies on overtime ( pitch a fit US, informal to become very upset and angry in a loud and uncontrolled way. To become very or unreasonably angry or upset; to have an outburst of rage, frustration, or ill temper. My mom's going to pitch a fit when she sees what happened to the car! I was so embarrassed when Danny started pitching a fit in the grocery store. He pitched a fit when she said she was going to be late again.). You're already in the doghouse. I'll write it up if you pretend it was your idea. 23. Definitely one of ours. Can I touch it? Sure. Ah. Yeah, it's been customized. Carol, would you bring me one of the 414s? Yeah, somebody's painted over it. Professional. Professional owl painting. Well, artful anyhow. Not some slapdash 粗心大意的, 冒冒失失的 ( doing something quickly and not carefully. She's a bit slapdash. He has a slapdash approach to work. If you describe someone as slapdash, you mean that they do things carelessly without much thinking or planning [disapproval] ...a slapdash student. Malcolm's work methods appear amazingly slapdash.) amateur. Yeah. 24. Walk me through it. Jesse buddied up to Gunn, befriended him. Buy him drinks, drive him home. The night it was originally supposed to go down, he was going to get him drunk, drive him home, and he'd take a header over the balcony. But it didn't happen. Why not? Jesse bought him one drink too many. Gunn got shit-faced. Obstreperous ( Obstreperous [ɑbˈstrepərəs] refusing to behave in a reasonable way and sometimes protesting loudly. If you say that someone is obstreperous, you think that they are noisy and difficult to control. You know I have no intention of being awkward and obstreperous. obstreperous customers/patients/neighbors. ). Got his ass tossed in the can. 25. How's the house hunt? I've got four appointments this morning. Of course, if there's anything I like, I'm gonna run it by you 告诉你, 征询意见, Maddie. Why? If we're going to live there, I want you to have a say. I live here. Are you gonna eat that cold? Mom, you have Reggie. Harry's alone. Live wherever you want. I'll come and visit, but I'm gonna stay with Dad. What have you done with my daughter? You're looking in the mirror. That's harsh. Not at all. I wouldn't have it any other way ( wouldn't have it any other way used to say that you would not want a situation to be different, even though it has problems connected with it: It's never going to be easy having kids but I wouldn't have it any other way. ). 26. Caffrey kept it in a safe deposit box. Extortion? RHD thinks so. 17 months ago, Caffrey started making deposits 存钱 in his bank account... 5,000 in cash every month, source unknown. Right after I went to him about Fox Mitchell. Yes. So Caffrey sends me in the wrong direction after Epperson, turns around, extorts Walker... "Pay up or I give Bosch the true story"... Walker gets tired of paying. All theory, no evidence 猜想, 没有证据. If there's evidence... I'll find it. 27. Back in '79, Caffrey got called to City Hall to brief a councilman... Bradley Walker Sr... on my mother's case alone. It's in Caffrey's copy of the investigative chronology, not in the official murder book. Is there a summary report on the briefing? No, nothing. The murder book was sanitized 净化 after Caffrey met with Walker. As I've said, this isn't proof of anything. The mayor, city council members, they ask for briefings all the time. Walker Senior's name in the book doesn't add up to extortion or murder. It's Walker. I know it. You know it. Otherwise, Caffrey wouldn't have sanitized the record. I suggest you stand down, Detective, and see where Bennett and Pell go with it. They'll never get close to him. It starts with Walker, then you trace it back to the torch, not the other way around. Bosch, this is not your case. It's been my case since I was 12 years old. Did you ask Bennett and Pell for regular updates? I did. Let me know what you know, Chief. Do that, and I'll keep you out of this. 28. Bosch is haunted with new leads to pursue on his mother's murder case. The season opens with a graffiti-tagging street urchin ( a child who spends most of his time in the streets especially in slum areas. Street children are poor or homeless children who live on the streets of a city, town, or village. Homeless youth are often called street kids or street child; the definition of street children is contested, but many practitioners and policymakers use UNICEF's concept of boys and girls, aged under 18 years, for whom "the street" (including unoccupied dwellings and wasteland) has become home and/or their source of livelihood, and who are inadequately protected or supervised. Some street children, notably in more developed nations, are part of a subcategory called thrown-away children, consisting of children who have been forced to leave home. Thrown-away children are more likely to come from single-parent homes. Street children are often subject to abuse, neglect, exploitation, or, in extreme cases, murder by "clean-up squads" that have been hired by local businesses or police. ) being in the vicinity where a homeless veteran, Billy Meadows, is murdered. 29. I should've fucking known. Arno Epperson, AKA Fox Mitchell. The man who murdered your mother. Or so I thought. I mean, I knew he was protected by the department or somebody who had power over the department. Bradley Walker. He and Arno were tight. The Police Commission president? His father more or less ran the City Council for three decades. Why would Bradley Walker's father run interference and protect Epperson on a murder? It doesn't make any sense that he would take that risk, not for his son's fuck-up friend. I know. I had it wrong. You had what wrong? It was the other way around. It was all about protecting Bradley. And Arno Epperson was part of it. 30. Who could forget that cocky mug? He used to come here. I remember. Chevy convertible. Party boy. The pay-to-play girls. I had to tell him to keep it down more than a few times. When? Oh, uh, same time... late seventies, eighties. But not with this other guy? No, no. He was straight. He liked the loose girls with the loose legs, loose morals. No, I didn't mean it that way. I mean, like, did these two run together. Not that I remember. But he rented rooms? Yep. That's what we're here for. His name's not in the book. Oh, back then, if people paid cash, I never asked them too many questions. They could write down "Ronnie Reagan" for all I cared... and some of them did. Nowadays, everybody wants to pay with plastic. Oh, I check the IDs on that. 31. Judge Houghton? She's waiting to hear from us. Voluntary manslaughter. Sentencing rec? The max. 11. He behaves himself, he's out in six. Oh, please. Then let's go to trial on the murder charges. Anita, We're having this conversation because you can't prove he killed her at all, unintentionally or otherwise. This case should never have been brought. DNA from a consensual sexual encounter, no witnesses, a timeline you could drive a Corvette through, no history of aberrant ( [æˈberənt] not normal or not what you would usually expect. ) behavior on Mr. Holland's part. Thanks to your witness tampering. Oh, and your star witness? Thoroughly discredited as a suspect in another homicide. You're not even planning to call Bosch Mm-hmm. I guessed it right. What are you looking for? Time served. Oh, please. You're joking, right. He's been under house arrest. Confined for more than a year on trumped up 编造的, spurious [ˈspjʊriəs] ( I. 似是而非的. Something that is spurious seems to be genuine, but is false. He was arrested in 1979 on spurious corruption charges. Quite a lot of allegations of misjustice are spurious. not real or sincere. spurious excitement. II. A spurious argument or way of reasoning 貌似有理的, 看似有理的 is incorrect, and so the conclusion is probably incorrect. ...a spurious framework for analysis. The justification of this chart is entirely spurious. These figures were often spuriously computed by selecting particularly favorable sample groups. ...a spuriously scientific book. III. something such as a statement that is spurious is not reasonable or correct because it is not based on true facts or a sensible way of thinking a spurious claim/comparison. ) charges. Involuntary man.
