如果某人使用bark is worse than their bite ,則意味著該物體看起來比實際更具攻擊性或敵意。狗有時會猛烈地咆哮以警告他們的對手,即使他們並不真的願意攻擊也是如此?這是從這種情況得出的成語。換句話說,這意味著它不像看上去那樣令人生畏或令人恐懼。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. (我要去見我女朋友的父親這個週末,我被告知她得到緩解,我的父親很害怕,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. (當我初次見到他的教授時,他看上去是一個很壞的人,但我意識到那隻是一個外表。)
