Cold turkey: 突然完全戒毒
<p><span word="Cold">Cold</span> <span word="turkey">turkey</span>: 突然完全戒毒</p><p>谁都明白，招惹上“毒品”，想完全戒掉可不是件易事儿。若想一夜间突然把毒完全戒掉，更是难上加难，没见过《永不瞑目》中肖童硬脱毒时的症状？——畏寒颤抖、汗毛竖起、浑身起鸡皮疙瘩，状如……状如什么？唉！看完短语<span word="cold">cold</span> <span word="turkey">turkey</span>我们再做形容。 在美国俚语中，短语<span word="to">to</span> <span word="go">go</span>/<span word="quit">quit</span> <span word="cold">cold</span> <span word="turkey">turkey</span>用来指“突然完全戒毒”，即“不依靠药物硬性戒毒”（其原理——吸毒成瘾者戒断症状的高峰会持续36-72小时，戒毒者只要熬过3天后，症状便会开始好转并减轻）。有人说拔过毛的火鸡皮上布满了鸡皮疙瘩，看上去就象戒毒者硬脱毒时的症状，所以<span word="cold">cold</span> <span word="turkey">turkey</span>（突然完全戒毒）用来形容状如“冷火鸡皮”的硬脱毒者。 不过，也有说法认为，<span word="cold">cold</span> <span word="turkey">turkey</span>（突然完全戒毒）源于短语“<span word="to">to</span> <span word="talk">talk</span> <span word="turkey">turkey</span>”（直言不讳）。据说，历史上饲养火鸡的农民以直截、坦率而闻名。现在，<span word="cold">cold</span> <span word="turkey">turkey</span>除用来形容戒毒外，也可指彻底戒除如吸烟、喝酒等坏习惯。请看下面一个例句： <span word="Since">Since</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="day">day</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="good">good</span> <span word="friend">friend</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="mine">mine</span> <span word="died">died</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="lung">lung</span> <span word="cancer">cancer</span>, <span word="I">I</span> <span word="decided">decided</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="go">go</span> <span word="cold">cold</span> <span word="turkey">turkey</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="never">never</span> <span word="light">light</span> <span word="up">up</span> <span word="another">another</span> <span word="cigarette">cigarette</span>. <span word="It">It</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="tough">tough</span>, <span word="but">but</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="smartest">smartest</span> <span word="thing">thing</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="ever">ever</span> <span word="did">did</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="life">life</span>.（自从我一个好朋友因为肺癌去世那天起，我就下定决心彻底戒烟。那是很不容易的，但却是我一生中所做的最明智的一件事。）</p>
