   核心句型:


  I'm so sorry to keep you cooling your heels.
  非常抱歉让您久等了。
  cool one's heels字面理解意思是:“冷却某人的脚后跟”。这里的heel一开始不是指人的脚后跟,而是指马蹄。在火车、汽车发明之前,马匹是人类最主要的交通工具,在长途旅行中,经过长时间跋涉,马蹄就会过度发热,骑马的人不得不中断旅行让马休息一下。现在,这个词已经转义为:“苦苦等候,坐冷板凳”了。因此,当美国人说"I'm so sorry to keep you cooling your heels."时,他/她要表达的意思就是:"I'm so sorry to keep you waiting for so long."、"I'm sorry to have you kicking your heels for so long."。
  情景对白:
  Benjamin: I'm so sorry to keep you cooling your heels. Have a seat.

  Client: I hope you were expecting me. Here are the details about our cooperation. Please have a look at it.
  客户:我想你之前也等着我来吧。这是我们合作的详细资料,请看一下。
