五道口，看美剧学五个地道实用的表达！

1 pep talk 

pep talk 鼓励的话，鼓舞士气的话。

我准备最后再给她打打气 I was about to give her a last-minute pep talk. 

别人鼓励我们时，我们可以说上这样一句话 Thanks for the pep talk. 

2 get cold feet

get cold feet 害怕，退缩。

每次上台说英语时，她总会十分地胆怯，More often than not, she gets cold feet before speaking English in front of the people.  

当朋友给我打气后，我们是不是不再害怕了？ Because of your pep talk, I don't have cold feet anymore.
