【句子】You can give me the cold shoulder the rest of your life. Jack’s not coming back. 【Modern Family-S2E7】 【发音】[ju:] [kæn] [gɪv] [mi:] [ðə] [kəʊld] ['ʃəʊldə(r)] [ðə] [rest] [əv] [jɔ:(r] [laɪf] [dʒæks] [nɒt]/[nɑ:t] ['kʌmɪŋ] [bæk]【发音技巧】cold shoulder不完全失去爆破；rest of连读；not coming完全失去爆破；【翻译】你可以余生都这么冷漠地对待我，但是Jack我是不可能让他回来了。【适用场合】give sb. the cold shoulder寒冷的肩膀？引申义一般理解为：对某人不冷不热；很冷淡；也可以说get the cold shoulder表示遭遇到冷漠的对待那么为什么the cold shoulder可以理解成：intentionally cold or unsympathetic treatment？跟肩膀有什么关系吗？This term supposedly alludes to the custom of welcoming a desired guest with a meal of roasted meat, but serving only a cold shoulder of beef or lamb-a far inferior dish-to those who outstayed their welcome.据说，在西方国家习俗里，如果热情欢迎一位客人，会用烤制的肉类。但是如果，这个客人在你家待太久了，有些不招人待见，主人会上什么食物呢？牛肩膀部位的冷的肉，或者是羊肩膀部位的冷的肉。（这样的食物就低等很多）eg: I got the cold shoulder from an old friend.我在一位老朋友那里遭到冷遇。就是他对我挺冷漠的。eg: He was given the cold shoulder when he was looking for support.当他想寻求支持的时候，却没人理会。eg: She thinks you started that rumor—that's why she's been giving you the cold shoulder all day.她认为，那个谣言是你开始散播的。所以她才会一整天没给你好脸色看。eg: I thought that Sally and I were friends, but lately I've been getting the cold shoulder.我之前认为我和Sally是朋友，但是最近，她一直对我都很冷淡。cold-shoulder可以当做动词用理解为：忽视某个人；冷落某个人；对某个人冷淡； If one person cold-shoulders another, they give them the cold-shoulder. eg: The hostess cold-shouldered me, so I spilt my appetizers in the swimming pool.这个女主人对我不冷不热的，于是我把开胃菜倒进了她家游泳池里。eg: Tiffany cold-shouldered the guy who was trying to flirt with her.Tiffany压根没搭理那个想搭讪她的男人。刚才视频中Jay的台词里出现了一个短语：goofing off英语中goof off/around 指的是：to waste time; evade work or responsibility 游手好闲；不干正事儿；eg: You’d better not let the boss catch you goofing off!你最好别让老板发现你不工作，游手好闲。【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】当我在图书馆里跟她打招呼的时候，她没怎么搭理我，径直走开了。
