再改写一下[吃瓜]

Chen is respected for his intelligence, which has enabled him to publish a series of significant scholarly papers on psychological and psychiatric issues.
His students who are drawn to him, chiefly females but a few males as well(especially S.Y X), believe he recognizes their “proud uniqueness”; they clamor for the warmth of his approval.

He flatters S.Y X’s early needs for approval(since she is also insecure and of low self-esteem); She, in turn, provides him with the admiration he needs to shore up his empty core.

一言蔽之NPD的人生不能缺少先舔他人 以换取他人对自己的崇拜认可的回报 来填补早年缺失的爱给自己带来的低自尊和爱无能的内心

"kiss"是“亲”，"ass"是“屁股”，那“kiss one's ass” 不会是“亲人家的屁股”？ 听上去还是挺侮辱人的，其实这真的不是什么好话，但也没到那么坏的程度
---------------------------------
[努力] 英语词典里对kiss one's ass是这样解释的：
to be very nice to someone in order to get an advantage
即：拍某人马屁；奉承某人 
---------------------------------
[彩虹屁] 例：
He is always kissing the manager's ass.  
他总是拍经理的马屁。

明天的国情咨文演讲标志着乔·拜登总统的一个拐点： 他的任期已经过半，他将发表自中期选举以来最引人注目的讲话，向全国发表讲话，为他的头两年（任期）进行推销，同时为可能的连任竞选做准备。

Tomorrow’s State of the Union address marks an inflection point for President JOE BIDEN: Halfway through his term, he’ll address the nation in his highest-profile remarks since the midterms, delivering the sales pitch for his first two years while teeing up a likely reelection campaign.
