1. 1連哄帶勸、好言相勸(不是詐騙的那種騙)

    If you cajole someone, you slowly talk them into doing something by being nice, funny, or full of promises — not by giving orders, and not by them. It is a little informal. There is often a feeling that you are gently pushing, even , until they give in.

    If you cajole someone如果你cajole某人,you slowly talk them into doing something就是慢慢說服他們去做某件事,by being nice, funny, or full of promises靠的是表現得親切、逗趣,或滿口承諾——not by giving orders不是靠下命令,and not by frightening them也不是靠嚇唬他們。It is a little informal這個字有點口語。There is often a feeling常常帶著一種感覺,that you are gently pushing, even flattering你在溫和地施壓,甚至有點討好,until they give in直到對方讓步。

    You might cajole a child into eating vegetables, or cajole a friend into helping you move house. It sits close to coax.

    You might cajole a child into eating vegetables你可能會cajole小孩去吃青菜,or cajole a friend into helping you move house或cajole朋友來幫你搬家。It sits close to coax它跟coax意思很接近。

    Cajole can sound as if the charm is a bit of an act, but it is not the same as a scam or a lie; the person still chooses, under sweet pressure. You cajole someone into doing something, or cajole something out of someone (a favour, a yes, a bit of money).

core核心畫面

組成From French cajoler, probably a blend of Middle French cageoler, “chatter like a jay” (from a dialect word for a little jaybird, from geai, “jay”), and Old French gaioler, “entice into a cage”. That cage-word goes back through Medieval Latin gabiola and Late Latin caveola to Latin cavea, a cage or enclosure — the same deep root as English cage and jail.
