- 1極冷的、冰寒的（書面、文學用語；口語會說冰冷、冷死了）
Gelid means very, very cold — icy, almost freezing. A writer might give you gelid water, a gelid wind, or a gelid stare (a look that feels as cold as ice). It is a literary, rather old-fashioned word, first taken into English in the 1600s. Ordinary people almost never say it in a shop or on the bus; they say freezing, icy, or cold. When you do see it, it is usually in books, and it is a bit dramatic on purpose.
