lay it on a bit thick

它的字面意思是“抹得有點厚”，實際含義是“過分稱贊、責難某人”。其中的a bit 是“一點兒”的意思，也可以去掉變成“lay it on thick”。

to praise someone too much

過分夸獎，過分贊譽

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

她一直不停地在說對他的工作有多么欽佩——要我說有點過分了。

He may have told us so, but does he really have to lay it on so thick?

或許他已經(jīng)告訴了我們他的這些先見之明了，但真的有必要這樣自我吹捧嗎?
