英語早間課堂:教您二招說冷遇(3)
例句-1：That painting leaves me cold.
例句-2：The idea of going to the party left him cold.
接招：我們可以聽到在上面的2個(gè)例句中都用到了同一個(gè)詞語：leave cold。短語中的cold意思是without emotion or without enthusiasm(冷淡的，沒有激情的)。Leave 有遺留，留下的意思。那么，leave sb cold意思就是不能打動(dòng)某人，不能激發(fā)起某人的興趣。If something leaves you cold, it does not cause you to feel any emotion.
Let's see more examples:
1. Tom's new book is quite well written, but the characters leave me cold.
湯姆的新書寫的相當(dāng)不錯(cuò),就是人物打不動(dòng)我的心弦。
2. Mary said the book had her in tears, but it left me cold.
Mary說這本書讓她感動(dòng)得淚流滿面，可是我卻無動(dòng)于衷。
3. The music's good, but the story left the producer cold.
這首歌很好聽，但是歌中講訴的故事卻不能打動(dòng)制片人的心。
4. Most of the programs on TV leave me cold.
我對(duì)大多數(shù)電視節(jié)目不感興趣。
5. Mathematics leaves me cold!
我不喜歡數(shù)學(xué)!
我們?cè)賮砜匆粋€(gè)跟leave 和cold有關(guān)的詞語，我們還是先來聽2個(gè)例子：
例句-1：I am surprised to see such a play out in the cold: I think he should definitely be allowed to play for the team.
例句-2：Some workers were left out in the cold in the recent wage agreement with their employees.
接招：在剛才聽到的2個(gè)例句中都用到了同一個(gè)詞語：out in the cold。它的意思是excluded from a group or an activity;ignored; not allow someone to become part of a group or an activity。中文意思即：被排斥在某集體或某項(xiàng)活動(dòng)之外的; 不被理睬的。這是一條副詞性習(xí)慣用語，它可以和leave連用，即：leave sb/sth out in the cold。
Let's see more examples:
1. Whenever they have a dance, an outing, or a social gathering, they invite my friends, but they leave me out in the cold.
每當(dāng)他們舉行舞會(huì)、郊游活動(dòng)或社會(huì)集會(huì)時(shí),他們總是邀請(qǐng)我的朋友們,可是卻不理會(huì)我。
2. Every time I see you, you leave me out in the cold.
每次見到你，你都不理睬我。
3. I will never leave you out in the cold and never hurt you whatever I am busy or sad .
即使我悲傷，即使我忙碌，也永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)冷落你!
