You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you. Or, to someone who has lied about you to others. 当你拒绝跟别人说话时，就是在冷落别人。你用一种疏远、冷漠的方式对待他们。这一短语可能来自背对某人，而不是面对面交谈这一肢体动作。你可能冷落一位未能信守诺言、或者在背后编排你的朋友。

5. cold-hearted：无情的
Someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted. A cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy. Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who, without feeling, broke the hearts of their lovers. 冷若冰霜的人可能很无情。无情的人没有同情心可言。很多流行歌曲都是关于无情的男人或者女人的，他们无情地伤害了爱人的心。
6. Out in the cold：被冷落，遭排斥
Out in the cold is an expression often heard. It means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise, that he was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.“Out in the cold”这个短语很常见，意思是没得到别人都得到的东西。一个人可能说大家都涨了工资，就他没涨，也就是他受了冷落（out in the cold，字面意思在一个寒冷的地方）。这种感觉不会很愉快。
