baby

娇生惯养
小心翼翼地对待
【解释】
To baby sb means to treat sb with too much care, as if they were a baby.
【例句】
You used to baby me a lot.
你过去很宠着我的。
He is the only child, so his parents baby him a lot.
他是家中的独生子，所以他父母对他很娇生惯养。
乔布斯曾经说过一句话：
When you get really good people, they know they’re really good, and you don’t have to baby people’s egos so much.
当你找到真正优秀的人，他们知道自己真的很优秀，你不需要百般呵护他们的自尊心（不用太在意他们的自尊心）。
难道聪明人没有尊严吗？
乔布斯赶紧解释说：“不，聪明人更关注自己的成长，时刻保持开放的心态，而不是捍卫面子。至少，他们不会想方设法证明我没错。”
