例如：She is a real apple-polisher for the way she's crawling around the boss and making eyes at him.
她是一个马屁精，整天围着老板眉来眼去的。
马屁精这种用法在办公室应该很常见吧!凡是喜欢拍别人的人都可以说是brown-nose. Brown-nose这个字也可以当动词拍马屁来用,例如, He likes to brown-nose his supervisor. /他喜欢拍老板的马屁。或是另一个也很口语的讲法, kiss up to somebody.例如, I don't like to kiss up to my boss. /我不喜欢拍我老板的马屁。
