Arse-licking is the sucking-up itself — always being very nice to people in authority because you want them to like you — and it is also the rude label for a person who does that. You can talk about arse-licking as a kind of behaviour, or you can put it in front of a noun: an arse-licking email, an arse-licking colleague.

Arse-licking指的就是拍馬屁這件事本身—— always being very nice to people in authority because you want them to like you也就是一直對有權力的人特別好，因為你想討他們喜歡—— and it is also the rude label for a person who does that而且它也是用來罵那種人的粗俗說法。 You can talk about arse-licking as a kind of behaviour你可以把arse-licking當成一種行為來講， or you can put it in front of a noun或是把它放在名詞前面當形容詞：an arse-licking email, an arse-licking colleague像an arse-licking email、an arse-licking colleague這樣。

Like arse-licker, it is British, vulgar, and meant to show disapproval. The picture is the same crude one.

Though actually, again, not every warm word to a person in charge deserves it. The speaker is claiming that the niceness is a tool, not a feeling.

Though actually, again, not every warm word to a person in charge deserves it不過同樣地，不是每一句對上司的好話都配得上這個字。 The speaker is claiming that the niceness is a tool, not a feeling說話的人是在主張：那種好，是工具，不是真心。
