真的沒有溫度了
最原本、也最好懂的一層:石頭貼上去,東西是真的冷的。
adjective · B1
Completely cold, with no warmth left at all, said about something that was supposed to be warm or hot, such as food, a drink or bath water.
涼透、冷掉
One way to hold this word: put your hand on a stone. It is cold, it stays cold, and your hand does not warm it. Nothing about it gives anything back. Every use of stone-cold can be seen as that stone laid against something else — against soup that should still be hot, against a face that should have flinched, against a shooter whose hand has stopped working, against a claim that will not bend. The stone is not really about temperature; it is about being all the way over, with nothing left of the warm side.
