學個用語："Cold feet"

In English, when we say we've got cold feet we mean we lack the confidence or courage to do something. some examples：

=========================

Mary knew Tony had bought her engagement ring and was planning to propose on Valentine's Day. She just hoped he wouldn't get cold feet before then.

The company directors were getting cold feet about a deal which could make or break their business.

==========================

"cold feet"這不是單指表面的腳發寒了，而是口語中的"擔心"、"膽怯"、"猶豫不決"、"沒信心"。所以當我們get(have) cold feet時，代表著我們正恐懼或害怕著去面對某事。
