"All bark and no bite" = chỉ sủa chứ không dám cắn -> nghĩa là lời hằm hè đe dọa hơn là khả năng dám làm vậy..

Ví dụ
A tropical cyclone (lốc xoáy) expected to form on Saturday morning off Queensland appears to be all bark and no bite. The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) forecasts (dự báo) a tropical low off the Cairns coast will intensify into a category one tropical cyclone, but continue to move away from the mainland.

Rovers have been seen as ‘bottlers’ in recent years. They were seen as a team that were all bark and no bite.

While the government recently announced (thông báo) that they would be giving the ‘Big Three’ two years to cut their pricing by 25 per cent, this announcement is all bark and no bite when you get into it.
