“I coaxed the kittens out of the hole using some tuna and took them home.”
To coax someone is to try to get them to do something in a gentle manner. Perhaps they are scared or suspicious, so if you try to force them, they will run away or freeze up, so it’s better to coax them gently.
「まぐろを使って子猫を穴からおびき出し、家に連れて帰りました。」
Coax とは優しい態度で誰かに何かをさせることです。怖がる人や疑い深い人に無理に何かをさせると逃げたり固まったりするかもしれないので、うまく説得するほうが良いですね。
