表达 “frozen to the core” 用来形容 “人感觉极其寒冷”。其中,“to the core” 的意思是 “彻头彻尾的,极其”,所以,“frozen to the core” 就突出表达了 “某人从头到脚、浑身冰冷的感觉”。这个表达通常和感官动词 “feel”或系动词 “be” 连用,即 “feel frozen to the core” 或者 “be frozen to the core”。
- It was so cold outside that he felt frozen to the core.
外面太冷了,他觉得都快冻僵了。 - Please, turn the central heating on. I am frozen to the core.
请把集中供热系统打开。我冻得全身冰凉。 - If you don't put a coat on, you'll be frozen to the core. It's winter, you know?
