ADJ-GRADED
(語句、畫面等)陳腐的,陳詞濫調的
If you describe something such as a saying or an image as hackneyed, you think it is no longer likely to interest, amuse or affect people because it has been used, seen, or heard many times before.
例句
Power corrupts and absolute power absolutely corrupts. That's the old hackneyed phrase, but it's true.
權力導致腐敗,絕對權力導致絕對腐敗。這雖是老生常談,但卻是真理。
