plau·si·ble /ˈplɔzəbəl/
 (a.)似真實的,似合理的,說得煞有其事的,巧嘴的


 Plau·si·ble a.
 1. Worthy of being applauded; praiseworthy; commendable; ready. [Obs.]
 2. Obtaining approbation; specifically pleasing; apparently right; specious; as, a plausible pretext; plausible manners; a plausible delusion. “Plausible and popular arguments.”
 3. Using specious arguments or discourse; as, a plausible speaker.
 Syn: -- Plausible, Specious.
 Usage: Plausible denotes that which seems reasonable, yet leaves distrust in the judgment. Specious describes that which presents a fair appearance to the view and yet covers something false. Specious refers more definitely to the act or purpose of false representation; plausible has more reference to the effect on the beholder or hearer. An argument may by specious when it is not plausible because its sophistry is so easily discovered.
