What is the Chinese word for "flattery"?

ANSWER: 馬屁 (마비), which literally means "horse (馬) farts (屁)," though in China 屁 (비) can also mean "butt." Why?

Because in China 屁 (비) is also used as an abbreviation of 屁股 (비고), which is the Chinese word for "butt," though it literally means "farting (屁) thigh (股)." That suggests that the Chinese consider the "butt" to be part of a person's thighs, the farting part.

Running fast, running fast

一隻沒有耳朵 (일척몰유이타), 一隻沒有眼睛 (일척몰유안정)

I am trying to teach myself to read Chinese books and writings using Korean pronunciations instead of Chinese. Why? Because I already know the Korean pronunciations of many Chinese characters and do not want to spend the time to also learn the Chinese pronunciations. If I wanted to learn to speak Chinese, then I would need to learn Chinese pronunciations, but since I only want to learn to read Chinese, I think I can skip Chinese pronunciations and just focus on Chinese grammar. 

 It took me decades to learn to speak Korean, and I do not have decades left to also learn to speak Chinese. 

 Koreans used to write in literary Chinese, and a majority of Korean words are Sino-Korean, which means they are formed from Chinese characters, so by learning to read Chinese I am hoping that I will also learn more about the Korean language. If I were a young man, I would be interested in learning to speak Chinese, but I am no longer a young man.
