   核心句型:


  I was going to ask my boss for a raise but I got cold feet.
  我打算要求老板给我加薪,但我退缩了。
  got cold feet直译过来就是:“双脚变冷”,这个短语的正确意思是:“失去勇气,临阵退缩”。因此,当美国人说"I was going to ask my boss for a raise but I got cold feet."时,他/她要表达的意思就是:"I wanted a pay rise from my boss but I dared not to."、"I gave up asking my boss a salary raise."。
  情景对白:
  Shirley: Honey, you have devoted 1 yourself to your work and have done a good job. Why not ask for a raise?
  雪莉:亲爱的,你全身心投入到工作中,干得很出色,为什么不要求加薪呢?
  Benjamin: I was going to ask my boss for a raise but I got cold feet.
  本杰明:我本打算要求老板给我加薪,但我退缩了。
