Did You Know?
Man's best friend is often thought of in admiring terms as faithful and true, but there are also people who more clearly perceive the fawning and cringing aspect of doggishness. When the Romans used the Latin verb adūlārī to mean 'to fawn on,' they equated it with the behavior of a dog toward its master. The noun adulation—meaning 'exhibition of excessive fondness' (similar in meaning but not etymologically related to adoration)—was first to develop in English, settling into the language in the 15th century. The adjective adulatory followed in the late 16th century (an adulatory speech, for example, is an excessively flattering one), and the verb adulate was being called into service by the early 17th century.
人们常常认为最好的朋友是可靠的和真诚的，但也有一些人更清楚地察觉到狗狗般的讨人喜欢的和卑躬屈膝的方式。当罗马人使用拉丁语 动词 adūlārī 来表示“to fawn on「讨好」”时，他们将其视为狗狗对待主人的行为方式。 名词 adulation—意思是“exhibition of excessive fondness「表现出过度的喜爱」”（含义相似，但词源上与adoration 无关）最早是在英语中发展起来的，在15世纪开始使用。 形容词adulatory在16世纪后期出现（an adulatory speech，例如， is an excessively flattering one），动词 adulate 在17世纪初开始投入使用。
