如果某人使用bark is worse than their bite ,则意味着该物体看起来比实际更具攻击性或敌意。狗有时会猛烈地咆哮以警告他们的对手,即使他们并不真的愿意攻击也是如此?这是从这种情况得出的成语。换句话说,这意味着它不像看上去那样令人生畏或令人恐惧。例子: My girlfriend told me her father s bark is worse than his bite and not to worry when I meet him this weekend. (我要去见我女朋友的父亲这个周末,我被告知她得到缓解,我的父亲很害怕,但不是真的。)例如: My professor seemed really mean when I first met him, but now I realise that his bark is worse than his bite. (当我初次见到他的教授时,他看上去是一个很坏的人,但我意识到那只是一个外表。)
