“马屁精”，中文俗语，就是指专门给人“拍马屁”的人，比喻为获取利益而阿谀奉承者，含贬义。与英文习语brown-noser同义，表示“ One who seeks out the approval, attention, and/or support of others, especially superiors, through abject subservience, flattery, or fawning”。
而“拍马屁”可以翻译为“brown-nose”，表示“try to curry favor with someone through flattery or favors in the hopes of getting something in return”。
例句：
