If you want to emphasize how cold the weather is, you can say that it is freezing, especially in winter when there is ice or frost. In summer, if the temperature is below average, you can say that it is cool. In general, cold suggests a lower temperature than cool, and cool things may be pleasant or refreshing. A cool breeze swept off the sea; it was pleasant out there. If it is very cool or too cool, you can also say that it is chilly.
如果要强调天气冷,尤其是在冬天有冰或霜时,可以说 freezing。在夏天,如果气温低于平均气温,可以说 cool。一般来说,cold 表示的温度比 cool 低,cool 含有舒服或凉爽之意:A cool breeze swept off the sea; it was pleasant out there (一阵凉爽的微风拂过海面,让人感觉外面十分舒服)。如果天气很凉甚至太凉,可以用 chilly。
