【句子】Sugarcoating is not gonna help him. He needed to hear what I said to him, even if it hurt a little bit. 【Modern Family S2E22】【发音】/ˈʃʊg.ə(r)kəʊtɪŋ/ /ɪz/ /nɒt/ /nɑːt/ /ˈgə.nə/ /ˈgɑː.nə/ /help/ /hɪm/ /hiː/ /niːdɪd/ /tə/ /hɪə(r)/ /wɒt/ /wɑːt/ /aɪ/ /sed/ /tə/ /hɪm/ /ˈiː.vən/ /ɪf/ /ɪt/ /hɜː(r)t/ /ə/ /ˈlɪt.l/ /bɪt/【发音技巧】sugarcoating闪音；not gonna失去爆破；help him击穿；needed to失去爆破；what I连读+闪音；said to失去爆破；even if连读；it hurt a不完全爆破+连读；little闪音；【翻译】说话委婉不会帮到他任何的！他需要听从我的建议，即使我的话可能有点刺耳。【适用场合】sugar大家知道指糖；coat外套；所以sugarcoat什么意思应该很好猜。say, explain, or present something in a manner that is easier to accept, understand, cope with, or endure.字面意思：给……东西裹上糖衣；引申义：把话说得更委婉、更好听、更容易接受；或者粉饰；美化；在口语中我们也可以说sugarcoat the pill药丸本来很苦，但是糖衣包上以后就变成甜的了。非常有意思的表达。eg: Don’t sugarcoat it, just tell me the truth.别委婉了，就直接告诉我真相。别兜圈子了，就直接告诉我真相。eg: My grandmother never sugarcoats her criticisms. If she thought you had messed up, she would tell you exactly what she thought.我奶奶批评人的时候，从来都是怎么想怎么说，从来/一点不会委婉。eg: I have to tell my mom about wrecking her car, but I need to find a way to sugar-coat the pill first.我不得不告诉我妈妈我把她的车给撞坏了，但是我得先想个能让她能好接受的方法告诉她。当然你还可以使用sugarcoated过去分词表示被动意味；eg: Stop giving me sugarcoated responses whenever I ask about the state of the project. I need to know how it's actually progressing!我问这个项目进展的时候，别再给我说些好听话了，我需要知道真实的项目进展情况。【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】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.
