Gloss over 粉饰太平
    2024-04-18  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A: Did you read the biography of the actress?

B: I think she glossed over her early struggles and focused on her successes.

Note: “Gloss over” is a phrase that means try to conceal or disguise something unfavorable by treating it briefly or representing it misleadingly. It involves covering up or ignoring a subject’s details, problems, or implications. This idiom often describes situations where someone wants to avoid controversy or difficulty by focusing only on the positive or superficial aspects.

The term “gloss” in “gloss over” originally comes from the notion of making something shiny or smooth.
