Она была известна своей безыскусной речью. Every effort is made to write official documents in plain English. Официальные документы пытаются писать на доступном/понятном языке. He was plain - spoken almost to the point of rudeness. Он говорил простовато - прямолинейным языком, часто казавшимся грубоватым. Her prose is lucid and unadorned. Она пишет ясным/доступным языком, без каких-либо прикрас. I want you to give me the unvarnished truth. Я хочу, чтобы ты сказал мне всю, ничем не прикрытую, правду. It is said here in black and white you can get a visa provided you have a job. Правило написано черным по белому - виза не дается людям, не имеющим работы. И наоборот, нелапидарная речь ассоциируется с приукрашиванием: With each retelling Matt would add more embellishments to his story. При каждом новом пересказе история Мэтта становилась все более и более приукрашенной. Fancy writing is often used to obscuse the truth. Чтобы скрыть истину часто прибегают к языковым ухищрениям. Everyone embroiders the truth to some extent. Все в той или иной степени приукрашивают правду. Her colourful account of her life proved a huge success. Ее красочный рассказ о перипетиях ее жизни имел большой успех. They glossed over all the difficult questions. Все сложные вопросф они пытались приукрасить/скрыть за языковыми изысками -
