美國人很喜歡吃火雞。每逢感恩節和聖誕節，火雞總是家家戶戶節日盛宴的主菜。有的時候，人們把感恩節稱為"火雞日"。火雞在英文里就是：turkey。

Turkey

一個人無能、很笨。

例句: "I wouldn"t go out on a date with Mary if she was the last woman in the world. She"s such a turkey with that boring personality and stupid grin."

"即便我在世界上找不到其他女人，我也不想約瑪麗一起出去玩。她那性格很讓人討厭，還有她那傻笑。她真是個笨蛋。"

例句: "This man came with a good recommendation from his last job, but it turns out he"s just a turkey who simply can"t do anything right!"

"這個人來的時候，他原來工作的公司還給他寫了很好的推薦信。可是，他原來是個笨蛋，幹什麼都干不好。"

Cold turkey

作為俗語的意思是指一些人突然終止某種已經成隱的習慣，如非法吸毒、酗酒或抽煙等。

例句: "You know, for 25 years I smoked two packs a day. But the day a good friend of mine died of lung cancer, I decided to go cold turkey and never light up another cigarette. It was tough, but it was the smartest thing I ever did in my life."

"你可知道，我以前每天抽兩包煙，抽了二十五年。後來我一個要好朋友因為肺癌而死了。就在他去世的當天，我下定決心戒煙，從此以後我再也沒有抽過一支煙。那是很不容易的，可那是我一生中我做的最明智的一件事。"

例句: "I needed to lose weight quick, so I gave up ice cream, cake and other rich foods cold turkey. And do you know I lost ten pounds in just a little over a month!"

"不久前，我認為我必須要減肥。於是，我就開始不吃奶油、蛋糕和其他熱量很高的食品。你知道，僅僅一個多月我就減掉了十磅。"

我們今天講了turkey和cold turkey。用turkey這個字來指人，那就是說那個人不聰明、笨頭笨腦的意思。Cold turkey是立即停止長期養成的習慣。

Be as you wish to seem.

如你所願。
