synonyms:
fawn，truckle，crawl，toady， compliment， flatter，butter up
奉承，巴结，讨好，拍……马屁
These words refer to seeking approval from others by praising them or behaving towards them in an obsequious or servile manner.
1) behaving towards them in an obsequious or servile manner.
fawn
can literally indicate the affectionate action of a dog towards his master, exhibited by licking him and sprawling before him, by tail-wagging and other forms of adoring behaviour. Servile behaviour of a comparable sort is suggested when a person acts in this way, although here the word becomes contemptuous, whether or not the obsequious display is sincere or undertaken cynically for self-advancement.
Truckle, crawl and toady
are harsher in their contempt than fawn, although less vivid and specific about the behaviour they point to.
2) The remaining words all emphasize verbal praise as the means of gaining approval.
compliment
a. alone can be used approvingly; the word can even indicate genuine admiration expressed for no ulterior motive
b. But the word often applies to praise given insincerely as an empty formality or as a self-interested gesture; in this case, the tone of disapproval is much milder than that of any other word here. [He complimented her on her new dress without even looking at it; She refused to complimented the fatuous critic merely to win his approval.]
flatter
a. Flatter concentrates exclusively on the paying of insincere compliments for whatever reason: She thought it could do no harm to flatter her escort a bit, at least on his tasted in wines
b. Sometimes the word can indicate a surprising but genuine interest that is taken by the recipient as a not wholly deserved honor: She flattered us by coming early and staying late; flattered by the sincerity of his concern for her.
butter up ( I think she's trying to butter him up so she gets better grades. )
Butter up is an informal phrase that suggests not only the obsequious behaviour of fawn, toady and crawl but also the insincere praise indicated by flatter. The word adds to these implications completely cynical attitude behind the ingratiation acts and words and even a disrespectful or contemptuous attitude towards the person being courted: drop-outs who claim to detest their middle-class parents but know how to butter them up when the need arises.
讨好;奉承;拍…的马屁；If one person tries to curry favour with another, they do things in order to try to gain their support or co-operation. [V inflects]
Politicians are eager to promote their 'happy family' image to curry favour with voters.
