Blandishment
Blandishment 通常以复数形式出现。它指的是为了达到目的而说的那些讨好、赞美或诱惑人的话。
- Despite his blandishments, she refused to lend him any more money. (尽管他甜言蜜语，她还是拒绝再借钱给他。)
- He was immune to the blandishments of fame and fortune. (他对名利的诱惑无动于衷。)
- The salesman’s blandishments eventually won over the customer. (推销员的甜言蜜语最终赢得了顾客。)
- 词根：
-bland-(温和的，平淡的，如 bland diet) - 后缀：
-ish+-ment - 含义：温和的话语 -> 讨好的话。
联想 bland (平淡/温和)。Blandishment 就是用“温和”而不刺耳的话来“忽悠”人。
She saw right through his blandishments and knew he wanted a favor. (她一眼看穿了他的甜言蜜语，知道他想求她办事。)
