这个错误来自于英国的卫报的一个有声采访所配的文字

什么意思啊？cold off是什么词组啊？这里有要"偏离选举这条路"的意思。cold off有这层意思吗？

1 G8 G+ n+ s7 q) i, ]作者玩文字游戏，常用词组自然是 cool off。cold off 是调侃。
意思是：恢复期迫使懂王“冰柜式隔离”，对其竞选造势的升温着实不利。

不对啊。那后面的the campaign trail怎么解释？cool off有变冷的意思，可没有"冰柜式隔离的意思“。你有查得到这层意思？

... yeah, I think it might be "cold him off the campaign trail". To cold some off means to make someone cool down from what he/she was zealous/overenthusiastic about, to throw cold water on someone's blanket. The idea fits the context.

By "... dictation practice on news concerning him", I meant my "Trump's leaving the hospital" pieces. They came my way. I didn't bother to seek them out for practice.

in spoken English, it is quite alright, but not so in written English，which should stick to the straight and narrow, so to speak. better err on the side of pedantry, hehe.

All right.  Point taken. Thanks.
