10 золотить пилюлю
тж. подсластить пилюлюgild (sweeten, sugar) the pill- Всё тебе дам. Сапёрную роту пришлю в твоё распоряжение. - Поколебавшись с минуту, Головин, чтобы окончательно подсластить пилюлю, добавил: - И взвод разведки тоже. (Эм. Казакевич, Сердцедруга) — 'I'll give you all we've got. I'll send you the sapper company.' He hesitated a second and then added, in a final attempt to sweeten the pill: 'And the reccy platoon too.'
- Конечно, мы все уважаем М.М., как давнего и заслуженного члена нашего коллектива... - сказал Гном. - Нечего золотить пилюлю, - крикнул Раздутый, подскочив сантиметров на десять. - Уважение тут ни при чём! (И. Грекова, Кафедра) — 'Of course, we all respect M. M. as a long-standing and deserving member of our collective...' said the Gnome. 'There's no need to gild the pill,' shouted Pompous, jumping ten centimetres up. 'Respect is not to the point here!'
- А может, ты золотишь мне пилюлю? - ехидно спросил Степан. - Не золочу, - отозвался Буров, а сам уже знал, что не получится у них того сокровенного разговора, на который он настроился. (В. Ерёменко, Слепой дождь) — 'Perhaps you're trying to sugar the pill for me?' said Stepan maliciously. 'No, I'm not,' replied Mikhail, aware that the heart-to-heart conversation which he had meant to have would not come off.
