it 在语法上被称为“无意义的宾语”，你可以这样理解，它在这里只是充个数，否则 hate 就没宾语了。非得翻译的话，可以翻译为：那个情况。
而 when 引导时间状语从句，表示你讨厌那个情况时的时间。比如：
I hate it when you lie. 我讨厌你说谎。
也就是：当你说谎时，我很讨厌（那个情况）。但是，一般不把那个情况翻译出来。
I hate it when people cry.
我厌烦别人哭。《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》
I hate it when people accuse us of that
我讨厌别人就那件事指责我们。《柯林斯高阶英汉双解学习词典》

I hate it when people talk with their mouths full.
我讨厌人们一边嘴里满是东西，一边谈话。(说的是餐桌礼仪)

还有一些动词也是这么用的，常见的有机物动词like, dislike, love, enjoy, prefer, appreciate 等类似句型“主语+及物动词+it+when/if引导的状语从句”：

我讨厌人们一边嘴里满是东西，一边谈话。
