Cold Meaning in English
word
/ˈkoʊɫd/
kohld
/kˈəʊld/
kohld
释义
Cold describes low temperature, or the feeling of being chilly. It is also used as a noun for a common illness with a runny nose and sneezing.
用法与细微差别
Very common in both meanings: as an adjective (the weather is cold) and a noun (I have a cold). For illness, always use 'a cold', not 'cold'. 'Cold' can describe temperature (literal and figurative, like 'a cold welcome'). Don't confuse with 'flu' (more severe illness).
