If you cajole someone, you slowly talk them into doing something by being nice, funny, or full of promises — not by giving orders, and not by them. It is a little informal. There is often a feeling that you are gently pushing, even , until they give in. You might cajole a child into eating vegetables, or cajole a friend into helping you move house. It sits close to coax. Cajole can sound as if the charm is a bit of an act, but it is not the same as a scam or a lie; the person still chooses, under sweet pressure. You cajole someone into doing something, or cajole something out of someone (a favour, a yes, a bit of money).
連哄帶勸、好言相勸（不是詐騙的那種騙）
組成From French cajoler, probably a blend of Middle French cageoler, “chatter like a jay” (from a dialect word for a little jaybird, from geai, “jay”), and Old French gaioler, “entice into a cage”. That cage-word goes back through Medieval Latin gabiola and Late Latin caveola to Latin cavea, a cage or enclosure — the same deep root as English cage and jail.
