推銷電話？cold call！

　　If someone makes a cold call, they telephone or visit someone they have never contacted, without making an appointment, in order to try and sell something.

　　如果某人給你打了個“冷電話”(cold call)，就是說他在與你素未聯(lián)絡(luò)、且并未預(yù)約的情況下貿(mào)然致電或拜訪，試圖銷售自己的商品。

　　我們常說的“騷擾電話、推銷電話”就可以用cold call來表示。其名詞形式為cold calling。

　　例如：

　　She had worked as a call center operator making cold calls to sell life insurance.

　　她在一家呼叫中心做電話員的工作，專門打推銷電話賣人壽保險。
