lay it on thick字面意思是“抹得太厚”，實際含義是“過分吹捧、責(zé)難某人、大肆吹捧、過分責(zé)備、灌迷魂湯、戴高帽子”。
【例句】
I might have laid it on a bit thick when I told Britney how pretty her new dress was.
我在夸布里特妮的新連衣裙特別好看的時候，可能有點捧過頭了。
James might have laid it on a bit thick with his daughter just now. After all, she only broke a plate.
剛剛詹姆斯可能對她女兒過分責(zé)難了，畢竟她只是打碎了一個碟子而已。
