to continue to stay in a place although other people want you to leave
（在某处）呆得太久而变得不受欢迎（Cambridge）

pile it on
pile on
pile-on
to say too much, especially giving too much emphasis;
过多地谈论；过多指责批评；（尤指）夸张，言过其实

pregnant silence
A long pause in speech that indicates a lot of meaning or significance; a pause/silence in which everyone is waiting or listening for something, or a moment of silence which is full of meaning.
意味深长的沉默

Bolton is unlikely to go quietly given his flair for public relations and long list of media contacts. He seems unlikely to emulate the dutiful but pregnant silence on Trump by former Defense Secretary James Mattis as he promotes his book.

The most telling part of his speech was the pregnant silence before he denied any wrongdoing.

poles apart
completely opposite
截然相反，大相径庭

"We work very closely with the President of the United States," said Pompeo, who is not that ideologically different than Bolton but is poles apart on handling Trump.
