献媚

The proudest of men coming home from the company of great men who praised him, of lovely women who flattered him, from intrigue and politics, put all that aside, settled himself comfortably in bed, pursed his severe lips into baby language and prattled to his "two monkies", his "dear Sirrahs", his "naughty rogues" on the other side of the Irish Channel.

在《电视和美国小说》，一本写于1990年的散文集中，华莱士注意到拙劣的模仿和嘲弄人的快速写作，年长作家选择用于反对麻醉剂文学的武器——该文学已经在广告中起作用，设计为对电视观众较多的电视知识进行献媚。

"Mr. Maldon is not at home, sir," she said, with insinuating civility;"but if it's for the water-rate, he requested me to say that--" She was interrupted by little George Talboys, who scrambled down from the high chair upon which he had been perched, and ran to Robert Audley.

&马尔东先生不在家，先生，&她说，礼貌之中含着献媚，&但，如果是为水费的事，那么，他要求我说——&她的话被乔治·托尔博伊斯的儿子打断了，孩子从他坐的高脚椅子上爬了下来，向罗伯特·奥德利跑去。
