 情景对话：

Gloria: I am gathering1 every Binky that is in this house because from today on Joe is going cold turkey. Okay, Joe. Have your last puff2 if you want.
我正在收集家里所有的奶嘴，因为从今天开始，Joe将完全戒掉它。好了，Joe，如果你想的话就再吸最后一口。
知识点：
Go cold turkey 突然完全戒除…
在戒烟、戒酒时也可以用到这个表达。比如下面两个例句：
① Going cold turkey is definitely not the best way to quit smoking.
立马完全停止吸烟绝对不是戒烟的最好办法。
② The only way to quit smoking is to do it cold turkey and get the nicotine3 out of your system.
戒烟的最好方法就是突然停止吸，然后把你身体里的尼古丁都消除。
quit something cold turkey 突然完全戒除…
也可以说 stop something cold turkey.
除了戒烟戒酒，还可以形容戒掉玩游戏瘾，比如下面例句：
① I stopped playing cold turkey. I just deleted it because it was taking up too much of my time.
我突然就停止玩儿了，我把它从电脑里删除了，因为占用了我太多时间。
② I was addicted4 to alcohol, then I quit it cold turkey, it was not as hard as I imagined.
我曾经沉迷酒精，然后我说戒就立马完全戒了，感觉没有想象中那么难。
