情景对话:
Gloria: I am gathering 1 every Binky that is in this house because from today on Joe is going cold turkey. Okay, Joe. Have your last puff 2 if you want.
我正在收集家里所有的奶嘴,因为从今天开始,Joe将完全戒掉它。好了,Joe,如果你想的话就再吸最后一口。
知识点:
Go cold turkey 突然完全戒除…
在戒烟、戒酒时也可以用到这个表达。比如下面两个例句:
① Going cold turkey is definitely not the best way to quit smoking.
立马完全停止吸烟绝对不是戒烟的最好办法。
② The only way to quit smoking is to do it cold turkey and get the nicotine 3 out of your system.
戒烟的最好方法就是突然停止吸,然后把你身体里的尼古丁都消除。
quit something cold turkey 突然完全戒除…
也可以说 stop something cold turkey.
除了戒烟戒酒,还可以形容戒掉玩游戏瘾,比如下面例句:
① I stopped playing cold turkey. I just deleted it because it was taking up too much of my time.
我突然就停止玩儿了,我把它从电脑里删除了,因为占用了我太多时间。
② I was addicted 4 to alcohol, then I quit it cold turkey, it was not as hard as I imagined.
我曾经沉迷酒精,然后我说戒就立马完全戒了,感觉没有想象中那么难。
