介绍:
▌Flattery
最直接地表示“恭维、奉承”。
► I take his compliments as a form of flattery; they didn't sound very sincere.
我觉得他的恭维话是一种阿谀奉承，不太真诚。
▌(With) tongue in cheek
这个短语指(说话)无诚意地，说着玩儿地，言不由衷地，虚情假意地。
►Don't be fooled by John's compliments. He was saying all that with tongue in cheek.
别让约翰的恭维话给糊弄住，那些话可当不得真。
▌Sweet talk
字面意思“甜蜜的话”，不过甜言蜜语背后其实是有目的的，为了让人答应某事。这个短语既可以作为名词，也可以作动词使用。
►A "virtual girlfriend" needs to be coddled with sweet talk and pampered with gifts, but you'll never see her in the flesh.
“虚拟女友”也需要用甜言蜜语和礼物去宠爱，不过你永远不能见到她本人。
►He even tried to sweet talk the policewoman who arrested him.
他甚至试图和逮捕他的女警官套近乎。
▌Sweet nothing(s)
甜蜜的却没有什么实质性内容的话，sweet nothing其实也是一种sweet talk。
►Jack was whispering sweet nothings in Joan's ear when they were dancing.
当他们跳舞时，杰克轻声在琼的耳边说着甜言蜜语。
▌ Snow job
这个短语的意思可不是跟雪有关的工作，而是指不太诚实的话，花言巧语的劝说，用奉承、夸张等手法来欺骗或说服别人。这个短语不仅可以用来推销商品、骗取钱财、还可以讨好上司、或者赢得耳根软的女性的芳心，因此在日常生活中很常见。
►The swindler did a snow job on the experienceless shop assistant and sold all his fakes to her.
骗子花言巧语地欺骗了那个没经验的店员，把所有的假货都卖给了她。
