Hayley教口語，“刀子嘴豆腐心”用英語怎么說？

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.

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

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

她動不動就罵她的孩子們，但孩子們都知道她是刀子嘴豆腐心。
