Guileless - free of deceit - простодушный, бесхитростный
At first I thought my niece was guileless, but I then found myself buying her ice cream every time we passed a shop.
Spurious - plausible but false - поддельный, ложный
When listening to a politician speak, it is hard to distinguish the spurious claims from the authentic ones.
Travesty - an absurd presentation of something; a mockery - пародия, карикатура
What I expected to be an intelligent nuanced historical documentary turned to be a purely-produced travesty of the form.
Precocious - characterized by or characteristics of exceptionally early development or maturity (especially in mental aptitude) - скороспелый, не по годам развитый
Though only seven year old, she was a precocious chess prodigy, able to beat players twice her age.
Avaricious - excessively greedy - алчный, жадный
Since avaricious desire is similar to gluttony or lust -- sins of excess -- it was listed as one of the seven deadly sins by the Catholic church.
