"Someone's bark is worse than one's bite" = tiếng sủa đáng sợ hơn cú cắn -> vẻ bề ngoài trông khó chịu hoặc đáng sợ nhưng họ không như vậy.
Ví dụ
My secretary is sometimes moody (ủ rũ) but her bark is worse than her bite. Honestly, don't hesitate to contact her if you need anything.
It is a crusty pie. Waystar Royco is the kind of news-entertainment conglomerate (khối) that is fast losing relevance with the death of old media—a character floats “We do hate speech and roller coasters" as a slogan—and Logan himself is aware his bark is worse than his bite. Which only makes him bark harder.
Mr. Trump’s protectionist policies (chính sách bảo hộ; mậu dịch) thus challenge the entire German economic model as it has existed since the 1950s. The fact that Mr. Trump has repeatedly singled out (chừa ra) Germany, one of America’s closest allies in Europe, is no small matter. While optimists will say that his bark is worse than his bite — that his pronouncements (tuyên bố) on trade, like his threats toward North Korea, are simply part of a negotiating strategy — pessimists can respond with a reasonable question: What if Mr. Trump really does mean what he says?
