"Put a new complexion on" nghĩa là gì?

Wow! Thật là phong cách Photo by Rob Gamble from Pexels

'Put a new/different complexion on something' = đem đến diện mạo mới cho thứ gì -> thay đổi hình thức, diện mạo, nhận thức hay cách hiểu về cái gì đó

Ví dụ
Events moments after the break put a new complexion on the game and Birmimgham took full advantage of the good fortune (vận may) they were handed.

Though fresh allegations (lý lẽ) of use of taxpayer money by Andrew Broad on a trip to Hong Kong alleged to have involved a "sugar baby" certainly put a new complexion on things.

As the story unfolds, the dubious (đáng ngờ) and outright fraudulent (lừa dối, lừa gạt) practices at Ranbaxy and a clutch of other Indian companies that are enumerated (liệt kê) in the book put a different complexion on India's generic drug boom and its moniker (biệt danh) of ‘pharmacy of the world’.

The jury might, not extravagantly (quái gở), have felt that this evidence put a new complexion on the case. It is true, of course, that this evidence does not alter (thay đổi) the underlying (cơ bản, nằm bên dưới) facts of the killings. But many of those facts are highly contentious (gây tranh cãi), and the evidence could well have influenced the jury’s assessment of them.
