Cách sử dụng
To "gloss over" something means to pretend that it's not important, significant, or problematic. It's like when you quickly mention a negative aspect of something but then quickly move on to talk about something else, without discussing or addressing the negative aspect more deeply. For example, if someone asks you about a book you read and you say, "Overall, it was a great read," but you don't mention that the plot was confusing or the characters were underdeveloped, you're glossing over those negative aspects. Or if your boss asks you about a mistake you made at work and you deflect by saying, "Well, it wasn't that big of a deal," even though it actually caused significant problems, you're glossing over the issue. It's important to be honest and transparent in communication, so try not to gloss over important or negative things if it's necessary to address them.
