听到“Give a cold shoulder” 可不是 “给一个冰冷的肩膀” 的意思啦!

from 早餐英语|实用英文口语

“Give a cold shoulder” 可不是 “给一个冰冷的肩膀” 的意思!不少小伙伴看到 “give a cold shoulder” 这个表达可能会困惑,“give” 是给,“cold” 是寒冷的,“shoulder” 是肩膀,字面直译好像是 “给一个冰冷的肩膀”。但实际它是个描述人际交往态度的地道口语表达!先来听一下它的英文解释:If you give someone the cold shoulder, it means you ignore someone intentionally and show that you are not happy to see them.如果你对某人做这个动作,意思就是你故意忽视对方,并且表现出不乐意见到 TA 的态度。在英语中,当有人说某个人 “gives others the cold shoulder” 时,意思是那个人刻意疏远、冷落他人,态度冷淡疏离,通常是因为生气、不满或者不想与之打交道。例如:Why is she giving me the cold shoulder? Did I do something wrong to upset her?她为什么要冷落我?我是不是做错什么惹她不高兴了?After they had a quarrel, he gave his roommate the cold shoulder for nearly a week.吵架之后,他冷落了室友将近一个星期。这个短语的起源与中世纪欧洲的待客习俗相关,相传旧时的贵族或农户在招待客人时,如果不想让对方继续留下来,就会端上一道冷的烤羊肩膀肉(a cold shoulder of mutton),而非热乎的主菜,以此暗示客人应该告辞离开。这种含蓄的逐客方式逐渐被简化,慢慢演变成 “故意冷落他人” 的口语表达,19 世纪后开始在英语中被广泛使用,至今仍是日常交流中形容 “刻意疏远、冷淡对待” 的常用短语。原声再现:You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you. Or, to someone who has lied about you to others.你可能对冷落一位不遵守诺言的朋友,或者那些对别人说有关你的谎话的人。-Hey- 嘿-Hey- 嘿-Max, did you just give me the cold shoulder?- 麦克斯,你刚才是在冷落我吗?-Oh, my God, I've been doing that for a year and a half and you finally got it.- 哦我的天,我都这么做一年半了,你总算看出来了。更多卡卡老师分享公众号:卡卡课堂 卡卡老师微信:kakayingyu002送你一份卡卡老师学习大礼包,帮助你在英文学习路上少走弯路
