我们都知道“cold”有“冷”的意思,“call”是“打电话”。那如果这两个词组合起来变成“cold-call”,又是什么意思呢?先来看看英文释义:
to call or visit a possible customer to try to sell them something without being asked by the customer to do so
在没有客户要求的情况下,给潜在客户打电话或拜访,试图向他们推销产品
所以“cold-call”就是我们平时最讨厌的“推销电话”。

例句:
We were cold-called by a company offering savings on our phone bill.
我们收到推销电话,是一家公司说是要帮我们节省电话费。
In this job, you have to be prepared to cold-call.

上面的“cold-call”是动词形式,这个表达还有名词形式“cold-calling”,意思是(未经要求而打给潜在客户的)冷不防电话,促销电话。
