Cold sweat 的意思是"冷汗",试想我们在甚么情况下会流下冷汗来呢?

就是在你感到非常紧张或惊慌时,便会感到全身发热,身体冒汗,故此俗语有云:紧张得冷汗也冒出来了,英语中"in a cold sweat"就是这个意思。

先看以下例句:"Susan was sitting in a cold sweat while waiting to get her examination report." 句中的"Susan was sitting in a cold sweat. "按照字面直译是"苏珊坐在冷汗中",当然这并不是句子的原意,其正确意思为"当苏珊等待考试结果时,她紧张得流下冷汗来。

如果上司大声呼叫你的名字时,你会否也会 In a cold sweat 呢?此外,与此相关的短语有:A bundle of nerve,与 In a cold sweat 一样, A bundle of nerve 也就是形容感到紧张或颤抖的状态。例如:She became a bundle of nerve in front of her idol!在她的偶像面前,她感到特别紧张
