看到cold finger这个说法,你是不是觉得有点眼熟?没错,其实这个说法就是从cold shoulder这个短语衍生出来的。
This expression is similar to "cold shoulder", a phrase used to express dismissal or the act of disregarding someone. The only difference is that cold finger is usually hidden behind a screen, while cold shoulder can be right in front of your face.
