Water that has gone so cold it turns hard, smooth and solid — slippery underfoot, cold to the touch, and able to freeze something in place.

可以想成水冷到變硬、變成一塊又滑又冰的固體。這塊冰有幾個一眼就感覺得到的特點:表面很滑(站上去會打滑)、本身很冰、而且它把東西凍住、定在那裡不動。英文 ice 後來延伸出的各種意思,幾乎都是抓住「冰」的其中一個特點再往外長。

    • Above the core is the lower-density liquid mantle composed of ice materials under high pressure and temperature. This massive liquid layer would not be separated into layers of traditional ice compounds, but mixtures of radically different compounds originally consisting of water, carbon dioxide, methane, and ammonia […] Since the mass of the planet is dominated by the liquid mantle that itself consists of heated ices under pressure, both Uranus and Neptune are classified as giant ice planets.

The commonly used term "ice mantle" is someone misleading, since the substance is actually a hot, slushy mixture that would be more aptly described as a water–ammonia ocean.
