迎合 的英文怎麼說?

[1] to cater to somebody[2] to humor[3] to string somebody along

to humor 是「迎合」跟「遷就」的最佳翻譯之一。

to cater to somebody 也很貼切，例如:

people bend over backwards to cater to her = 大家都盡力的迎合(討好、遷就)她

A string B along = A欺騙B，通常是長時間的欺騙，有時候正好是中文的「迎合」的其中一個意思，例如:

He strung her along for years, saying he'd eventually marry her.

他迎合她很多年，說最後會娶她。(卻還沒有娶)

He's been promising to pay me back the money, but I feel he's just stringing me along.

他一直說會還我錢，但我感覺他只是在迎合我而已。(卻還沒有還)
