弹性
拍马屁是一门极高深的艺术。轻重缓急的奥妙，只有深谙此道的高人才能运用自如。:)))对我们普通人来说，一般善意的奉承和礼貌的恭维，自然不必太较真。即使是真情流露，夸张的尺度也有弹性空间。
这种客套语，直接译出来就是：
“无论怎样强调，都无法充分表述XXX的重要性。”
但也可以反过来译为：
“XXX的重要性无论怎么强调都不过分。”
意思都一样，分寸只好由译者自己揣摩了。:)))

“拍马屁”一说，玩笑而已，以夸张的方式讲好话，尽管人人都知道属于“不实之词”，但还是喜欢听。不管是不是“马屁”，要点是头脑得清醒，不能当真。否则...
有一天，我看着桌上丰盛的晚餐，对老婆说：“你在这个家的重要性无论怎么强调都不过分！”老婆说：“少拍马屁！下次该你重要了！”:)))

JFYI, Mr Fu, the context is about a CEO's speech to his employees, a boss does not need to 拍马屁 to his employees... :)
