拍马

The singer was surrounded by the usual crowd of lackeys and hangers on.

那个歌手让那帮总是溜须拍马、前呼後拥的人给围了。

He was laying on the flattery with a trowel.

Jamie was adroit at flattering others.

杰米很会拍马屁。

I hate his smarmy compliments.

Just remember—flattery will get you nowhere. There’s no use trying to be nice to me so I’ll give you what you want.

—拍马屁不会使如愿以偿。讨没用，不会给想要的东西。

During my colleagues, there are so many superexcellent ones, trickish ones, adulatory ones, who are doing better than me, and I have fallen to a walk-on.

同事中，能力卓越者、攻于心计者、溜须拍马者，强于的更是不胜其数，自己现在已沦为一个跑龙套的。
