片語裡的冰(滑與凍的比喻)
這一組是把冰的兩個身體感覺借去講抽象的事:冰會把東西「凍住、定住不動」,也很「滑、一不小心就摔」。於是計畫被凍住=暫時擱著,腳下的冰太薄=處境危險。

Used in the phrase 'on ice' to mean a plan is stopped for now and dealt with later.
擱置(on ice)
Water that has gone so cold it turns hard, smooth and solid — slippery underfoot, cold to the touch, and able to freeze something in place.
