lay it on thicker 过分夸奖，过分赞誉

1. lay it on thicker

thick是“厚的”，lay it on a bit thick字面意思是“抹得太厚”，和lay it on with a trowel意思一样，表示“过分夸奖，过分赞誉”。

She went on and on about how she admired his work - laid it on a bit thick, if you ask me.

她一直不停地在说对他的工作有多么钦佩——要我说有点过分了。

2. cold-shoulder

give sb the cold shoulder的意思是“故意冷落，有意怠慢”。

I tried to be pleasant to her but she gave me the cold shoulder.

我努力想讨好她，可她反倒故意冷落我。

Adele有首歌歌名就是《Cold Shoulder》：

You grace me with your cold shoulder

你对我冷淡就是对我很好

Whenever you look at me I wish I was her

你看着我的时候，我总希望我是她
