把人截斷
被截短的是一個互動：招呼、邀請、好意，本來要繼續的，被人當場切掉。
verb · B2
To treat someone rudely on purpose, especially by taking no notice of them when you meet, or by turning down what they offer, in a way that shows you do not think they matter.
冷落；怠慢

One way to hold this word: something is cut short. A line that should have run on stops early — and the stop is what you notice. Do that to a greeting and you get the verb: the other person is coming towards you and you cut the moment off, look away, leave the hand in the air. Do it to a shape and you get the adjective: a nose whose line stops early and lifts. The noun is simply that cut-off moment counted as one event.

snub 可以想成「被截短的一截」。一條本來應該繼續下去的線，提早停住了——而讓人注意到的，正是那個停。把這一下用在打招呼上，就是動詞：對方朝你走過來，你把那個瞬間切斷，眼睛移開，手停在半空。把它用在形狀上，就是形容詞：一個線條提早結束、尾端上翹的鼻子。名詞則是把那個被切斷的瞬間，當成一件可以數的事。From the word’s history
Recorded in Middle English as snubben / snibben, either native or from Old Norse snubba 'to chide, rebuff'; the Nordic cognates point back to a sense of snipping or pinching something off, which is the cutting-short picture the modern senses share.
中古英文作 snubben／snibben，可能是本土詞，也可能來自古北歐語 snubba（責罵、回絕）；北歐的同源詞指向更早「把東西剪掉、掐掉一截」的意思，而這正是今天各個用法共用的那個「截短」畫面。
