sb's bark is worse than his/her bite

If someone's bark is worse than their bite, they are not as unpleasant or frightening as they seem.

刀子嘴豆腐心;言語比行動(dòng)嚇人

A bark is the noise that a dog makes. Most often a dog's bark is used as a warning and the animal is not planning to attack or bite someone. This is where the phrase comes from.

吠聲是狗發(fā)出的聲音。大多數(shù)情況下,狗的叫聲是作為一種警告,而不是打算攻擊或咬人的行為。這就是這個(gè)短語的由來。

She always scolded her children, but they knew her bark was worse than her bite.

她動(dòng)不動(dòng)就罵她的孩子們,但孩子們都知道她是刀子嘴豆腐心。
