"Sugarcoat the pill" = bọc đường viên thuốc -> nghĩa là làm cho điều tồi tệ, khó chịu, không hài lòng trở nên dễ dàng hơn để đối phó, chịu đựng, chấp nhận.
Ví dụ
I have to tell my mom about wrecking her car, but I need to find a way to sugar-coat the pill first.
The bosses are giving everyone an extra 10% bonus this Christmas, but I suspect it's a way of sugar-coating the pill that there will be massive pay cuts in January.
It is wrong to analyze the Greek-Turkish equation solely on the basis of military arithmetic (số học). Turkey is the stronger of the two on that front and especially after the effects of the decade-long crisis on the Hellenic Armed Forces. We know it, they know it. There’s no need to sugarcoat the pill.
