adornar verb

the majority were content to titivate or embellish their past (or to finally lift the veil on a private life fearfully concealed or opportunistically hidden until now).
la mayoría se limitó a maquillar o adornar su pasado (o a desvelar por fin una intimidad miedosamente velada u oportunamente oculta hasta entonces).

emperejilar verb

Well before that awe-inspiring (but scarcely unexpected) name, the captains' servants began titivating their masters' best uniform against the almost inevitable signal Captains repair aboard the flag and the first lieutenants hurried about anxiously looking for imperfections that might bring discredit on the ship.
Mucho antes de oír aquel nombre capaz de despertar un temor reverencial, correspondiente a un barco cuya presencia apenas esperaban, los sirvientes de los capitanes empezaron a emperejilar el mejor uniforme de su patrón, para adelantarse a la casi inevitable señal que llamaría a los capitanes a bordo del buque insignia.
