APAD: Flattery, like perfume, should be smelled …完成谚语，短语动词

Flattery, like perfume, should be smelled but not swallowed.

Enjoy the flattery you receive, but don’t believe it because people often flatter to meet their own selfish interests.

Example: I know he was all praise for your business acumen, but don’t take his words literally as this guy needs business from us. Flattery, like perfume, should be smelled but not swallowed.

 

Phrasal verb.

come out of

happen as a consequence of another event

We missed a day of school, so at least some good came out of our boring class trip.
