chill（/tl/）常见含义：
/tl/
The wind gave me a chill.
风让我感到一阵寒意。
There was a sudden chill in the room when he mentioned her name, as if the conversation itself had cooled.
当他提到她的名字时，房间里突然有种冷场的感觉，仿佛连谈话都降温了。
chill来自古英语 ciele / cele（“冷、寒冷”）一类词根，和“cold（冷）”这一意义群相关。后来逐渐发展出“让人感到寒意”的名词用法与“使变冷”的动词用法；现代口语里又延伸出“放松、冷静”的含义，带有更轻松随意的语气色彩。
