sycophancy Explanation: Luis' answer "Adulation" sounds fine, but if the article gives you the impression that the flattery was self-serving, I would use "sycophancy". |

yes-men Explanation: Nunca he visto la palabra, pero sospecho que es derivada del ingles. En el Congreso de Estados Unidos los votos verbales se emiten en "aye" o "nay",las formas arcaicas de "yes" y "no." Sin un poco de mas contexto es dificil emitir una opinion informada. Si se trata de un presidente cuyos asistentes, consejeros, y miembros del Gabinete siempre concuerdan con el, como en el caso de Fidel Castro, en los EE.UU. se utiliza la palabra "yes-man",utilizda en frases como: "He surrounded himself with yes-men." Si se trata de un Congreso o Parlamento donde todos los diputados siempre unanimemente a favor de las propuestas del gobernante, se utiliza la expresion "rubber-stamp parlament." Solo dos opciones... buena suerte. |

Excessive flattery or worship Explanation: Keeping it simple! If you are translating this for very very well-educated English speakers, you might get away with the proposals above. However, if it is for your general person on the street, I would keep this simple! |
