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

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.

记—马屁不会使如愿以偿。讨好我也没用，我不会给的东西。

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、马者，强于我的更是不胜其数，自己现在已沦为一个跑龙套的。
