谄媚的

A large praetorian bureaucracy filled with ambitious and often sycophantic people makes work and makes trouble.

充满野心勃勃、阿谀谄媚之人庞大、腐败官僚机构，既搞工作也搞。

Every clause, every punctuation mark, every plot twist, puzzle, and factoid is engineered precisely to flatter our intelligence.

一个从句，一个标点符号，一个曲折情节、谜团和花絮都是为谄媚读者智心设计。
