suck up
拍馬屁

ass-kisser / ass-kissing
馬屁精
很好理解，吻屁股的人，就是馬屁精。
例句：
Oh, he's such an ass-kisser. I can't believe the boss falls for it!
喔，他真是個大馬屁精，我不敢相信老闆吃他那一套。
Brown-noser / brown-nosing
阿諛奉承的人；馬屁精
a person who tries to please (esp. one's boss) so much that their nose turns brown from kissing their ass.
這個詞是俚語，根據Dictionary.com網站上收錄的The American Heritage字典所載文字，可知「brown-nose」取其因為彎腰跟在別人屁股後面，奉承地親別人的屁股使得鼻頭沾上對方的糞便，才會有所謂的咖啡色鼻頭。非常不雅！
例句：
I’m not surprised. He’s such a brown-noser.
我一點都不覺得驚訝，他可是個馬屁精。
