    Ice-cold means extremely cold — as cold as ice, or nearly that. We use it for drinks (ice-cold water, an ice-cold beer), for weather and wind, and for things you touch (ice-cold hands, an ice-cold floor). It is a strong word: cold is already not warm, and ice-cold pushes it further.

    Ice-cold means意思是 extremely cold非常冷—— as cold as ice像冰一樣冷, or nearly that或幾乎那麼冷。 We use it for我們用它說 drinks飲料( ice-cold water冰水、 an ice-cold beer冰啤酒)、 for weather and wind天氣和風, and for things you touch還有你摸到的東西( ice-cold hands冰冷的手、 an ice-cold floor冰冷的地板)。 It is a strong word它是個很強的字: cold「cold」 is already not warm已經是不溫暖了, and ice-cold而「ice-cold」 pushes it further把它再往前推。

    People also stretch it for feelings. An ice-cold look or an ice-cold voice means the person is not being kind; they are holding their warmth back on purpose. That use is a little more grown-up, but you will hear it in stories.

    People also stretch it人們也會把它延伸 for feelings去說感覺。 An ice-cold look冰冷的眼神 or an ice-cold voice或冰冷的聲音, means意思是 the person is not being kind這個人沒有要對你好; they are holding their warmth back他們把自己的溫度收著 on purpose是故意的。 That use那種用法 is a little more grown-up成熟一點, but但 you will hear it in stories你會在故事裡聽到。

    Ice-cold is common and not fancy. Though actually, it does not always mean there is ice in the thing — a room can be ice-cold with no ice at all. We just mean “very, very cold.”

    Ice-cold is common常見, and not fancy不花俏。 Though actually不過其實, it does not always mean它不一定表示 there is ice in the thing東西裡真的有冰—— a room房間 with no ice at all完全沒有冰 can be ice-cold也可以冷得像冰。 We just mean我們只是要說 “very, very cold.”「非常非常冷」。
