這裡所指的 cold turkey 當然不是字面上「冷火雞」的意思
它前面常接 goquit 這兩個動詞
所謂 go cold turkeyquit cold turkey 是指一下子就突然戒掉癮頭或習慣
「說戒就戒」,而不是慢慢的減少次數
至於為何有這種說法?
有一說是因為冷火雞肉是常用來即食的肉品,不需要特別加熱處理
所以用它來指立即戒掉某事
另一說是因為這個詞最早是用來指戒毒癮的人(特別是海洛英)
他們在一開始戒毒時會經歷身體發冷和起雞皮疙瘩的症狀,所以叫「冷火雞」

我們來舉些例:

Wayne quit smoking cold turkey.
(韋恩說戒就戒了煙。)
I’m going to go cold turkey on chocolate.
(我要馬上戒掉吃巧克力的癮。)
I really admire Brenda for quitting cold turkey.
(我真的很佩服布蘭達能說戒就戒。)
