1) MADELINE HAYES: "This is something, as cheesy as it sounds, that I’ve always dreamed about, that there will be a boys school that doesn’t charge twenty-five thousand dollars a year, but would give the same academics, the same level of interaction and leadership.”
Isto, falso (ou cliché) como posso parecer, é o que sempre sonhei...
Isto, hipócrita como posso parecer (significando que a primeira coisa que virá a cabeça é que todo mundo poderia dizer isso, mas...), é o que sempre sonhei...
Isto, lugar-comum como posso parecer, é o que sempre sonhei...
Isto, contrário ao que muita gente (provavelmente) possa pensar , é o que sempre sonhei...
2.)
Mesma coisa, em termos de ''(isso) pode parecer hipocrisia mas é verdade"/ pode parecer insincero, mas é a pura verdade/ pode parecer fingimento, mas não, é verdade.
Cheesy aqui seria algo como: Hipócrita/falso/insincero/fingido/não genuíno/ingênuo da parte de alguém (no caso do exemplo 1).

1. This is an important word and nobody has it right yet. What it means is: Trying too hard, unsubtle, and inauthentic. The excessive showing off suggests he's compensating for what he does not have--i.e., he's actually poor, insecure, or short with an inferiority complex. Cliches are often cheesy because they are an obvious and artless way of making a point. A movie might be cheesy if it contains 'on the nose' dialogue, like "I can't live without you" or "You had me at hello."
4. Cheesy is a unique word it's usually used for calling something bad but it isn't directly bad. Cheesy means something that is trying too hard to be good, basically something that's supposed to be good but it isn't and bad. Jersey Shore is cheesy because they are trying too hard to be 'cool' while it's just bunch of crap.
