1. Orphaned when he was still a child, Zhang Chunyuan had lived with his two elder brothers. In 1994, he couldn`t stand the cold-shouldering of his sisters-in-law and chose to make a living on his own. Often he had to rise early and limp on the mountain path for three hours to sell rat`s bane at village fairs. He got only 20 Yuan a month.
自幼失去双亲的张春元，先是与两个哥哥共同生活，但1994年因受不了嫂子的白眼，被迫分家单过，靠卖老鼠药维持生计，为了赶乡场，每天起早摸黑一瘸一拐要走三个小时的山路，一个月只挣20块钱。
2. By cold-shouldering Japan in recent years, China and South Korea have ensured that even the few feeble regional talking shops that do exist have been able to do nothing to mitigate tensions.
近年来，中韩故意冷落日本，致使存在的几个少有的脆弱的地区论坛对缓解地区紧张几乎无所作为。
3. I became increasingly discouraged by all the cold-shouldering I encountered, along with the difficulties in finding accommodation not to mention the tremendously high living costs.
生活费用的昂贵暂且不论，人情世故的冷暖，以及租房子之难，使我屡遭挫折。
4. Years of sanctions and cold-shouldering have produced precisely nothing.
多年的制裁和冷淡实际上毫无成果。
