【口语积累】
1. 讨好 please others
“文字讨好症”的这种“讨好”与拍马屁的那种讨好有所区别，所以我们可以用please others来表达，指“取悦他人”，所以“讨好型人格”英文即people-pleaser。如果想强调，可以说overly eager to please others，“过于热衷于取悦他人”。还可以用win others over，指“赢得他人的好感”。
She always tries to please others, even at the expense of her own happiness.
她总是努力取悦他人，甚至自己不开心还要这么做。
I've always been a people pleaser.
我一直以来都是讨好型人格。
He is always overly eager to please others due to his lack of self-confidence.
由于缺乏自信，他总是过于热衷于取悦他人。
He goes out of his way to win others over with his actions and words.
他不遗余力地通过行动和言辞赢得他人的好感。
He always prioritizes catering to others' needs before his own.
他总是把满足他人的需求放在自己之前。
2. 好哒 okey-dokey
如果想用英语萌萌地说出“好哒”“好滴”，可以用okey-dokey，也可以拼作okie-dokie。除了ok，英语中还有这些说法可以表示“好的，收到”：Got it./No problem./Sure./Sure thing./That works for me./That's good for me.
-Make sure you get that report in on time. -Okey dokey, I'm on it.
务必按时交报告。-好滴，我正在写。
-Can you help me with this task? -Sure thing, I'll be glad to assist you.
这个任务你可以帮帮我吗？-当然，我很乐意帮助你。
-We have a meeting at 10 AM tomorrow. Can you make it? -Yes, got it. I'll be there on time.
-明天上午十点有个会议，你能参加吗？-收到，我会准时参加。
-Let's meet for lunch tomorrow at 12 PM. -That works for me.
-明天中午12点我们一起吃午饭吧。-我没问题。
3. 语气生硬 abrupt
abrupt可以表示语言或行为唐突、生硬，burt可以形容回答“简短没礼貌”，例如就回一个字“好”在当下的互联网语境中可能就会被认为简短没礼貌。还有些人说话比较“直”，英文可以用blunt。
She was very abrupt with me.
她跟我说话非常生硬。
They are either over-polite or rudely abrupt.
他们要么过于礼貌，要么粗鲁唐突。
Her curt replies conveyed her lack of interest in the conversation.
她回答简短直接，明显对谈话不感兴趣。
She had a blunt way of speaking that sometimes came across as harsh.
她说话的方式很直率，有时给人一种刻薄的感觉。
4. 绞尽脑汁 rack one's brain
rack作动词有“使痛苦不堪；使受折磨”的意思，所以rack one's brain指的就是“绞尽脑汁；冥思苦想”。形容努力要解决某个问题，还可以用wrestle with sth，这里的wrestle引申为“全力对付”的意思，也可以说apply oneself或apply one's mind，这里的apply指的是“勤奋工作；努力学习”。最后再给大家介绍一个非常有趣的表达：put one's thinking cap on，“戴上思考帽”，指“好好想一想”。
She racked her brain, trying to remember exactly what she had said.
她绞尽脑汁，想要回忆起她到底说过些什么话。
If he applied himself, he could pass his exams.
如果他努力学习，他这次能通过考试的（可惜并没有）。
She had spent the whole weekend wrestling with the problem.
她整个周末都在绞尽脑汁处理这个问题。
It's time to put our thinking caps on, children.
孩子们，现在需要好好思考一下了。
