“低声下气”，汉语成语，字面意思是“lower one's voice and stifle one's anger”，形容说话时态度卑微恭顺的样子。可以用“grovel ”表示，意思是 “to behave with too much respect toward someone to show that you are very eager to please them”。
例句：
我强迫自己走进他的办公室，对他低声下气。
I propelled myself straight into his office and grovelled.
低声下气地向我的前任要钱简直是令人尴尬和恼火。
Groveling for dollars from my ex was nothing short of embarrassing and infuriating.
