5. Well, if I were you, I'd let her cool off a few days before I approach her.
點(diǎn)睛
Well此處起到語(yǔ)氣詞的作用，相當(dāng)于“嗯，呃”，暗示語(yǔ)氣有輕微轉(zhuǎn)折。I'd是I would的省略形式，意為“我會(huì)”。其中的would主要是強(qiáng)調(diào)主觀的意愿，而非對(duì)時(shí)態(tài)進(jìn)行暗示。
cool off此處意為“冷靜下來，鎮(zhèn)靜下來”，該短語(yǔ)還含有“使某人感到?jīng)隹?；冷卻”之意。如：
Drink some cold water to cool yourself off. 喝點(diǎn)涼水，涼快涼快。
before本意是“在……以前”，此處是指“先……再……”。approach此處意為“接近”。
考點(diǎn)歸納

keep (one's) cool意為“保持涼爽；保持冷靜，保持沉著”。如：
You should keep your cool in the heat of competition. 在激烈的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)中，你應(yīng)該保持沉著冷靜。
