　　唱白脸 chàng bái liǎn

　　Wear the white mask of the villain

　　你如果看过京剧的话，一定注意到了，“坏人”往往化妆成白脸。所以“唱白脸”表示对人及其严厉苛刻。(常与“唱红脸”一起用，见“唱红脸”)

　　If you’ve ever seen a Beijing Opera, you’ll surely notice that “villains”would always wear a white make-up. So this expression means you pretend to be harsh and severe. (often used in contrast to “wear the red mask of a hero”, see chang hong lian)

　　例：在我们家，教育孩子的时候我唱白脸。

　　Ex.：In my family, I’ll play the harsh guy in educating our child.
