红糖知道怎么说了，那么“白砂糖”用英文怎么说呢？可千万按照字面把它说成“white sugar”，正确的表达是caster sugar，一定要记牢咯。

③ loaf sugar
一般来说，我们有些人喝咖啡时会给其中放入几块儿方糖。那么，方糖用英文怎么说呢？square sugar（正方形的糖）？不是！正确的说法是loaf sugar，快快记下哦！

④ sugar the pill
从表现上观察，就可以得知这是个动词短语，sugar作动词来讲有“给...加糖”的意思，糖是甜的，可以消除苦味。因此，该短语就可以表示“缓和情况，使...更容易接受，处理或忍耐”，体会到它的意思了吗？

这个短语应该不难，从字面上来看是“和糖一样甜”，除此之外，它可以用来喻指人“特别甜蜜，和善和友好”。
