易错句子There is chill in the air this morning.
正确表达There is a chill in the air this morning.
表示“空气里有一股凉意”时，chill 是可数名词，固定说法是 a chill in the air，必须带不定冠词 a。汉语没有冠词，学习者常把冠词漏掉；加上 a 后，句子才表示“有一股寒意”，而不是笼统的“冷”。

易错句子I feel chill, so I put on my coat.
正确表达I feel chilly, so I put on my coat.
chill 在词典中只有名词用法（意为“寒意”），不能作表语形容词；表示“觉得冷”要用形容词 chilly。汉语“觉得冷”不区分词性，学习者容易直接把名词 chill 当形容词用。只需把 chill 改为 chilly，句意不变。

易错句子After walking in the rain, I had a chill and a fever.
正确表达After walking in the rain, I had chills and a fever.
指发烧时反复一阵阵发冷的症状，英语惯用复数 chills（常见搭配 have/get chills）；单数 a chill 只表示“一股寒意”，不表示病症。汉语“寒战”不区分单复数，学习者容易误用单数，改为 chills 才符合表达该症状的固定用法。
针对chill作为名词表示'寒冷'的反义词
“cold”泛指低温，也常指日常的感冒，范围和程度都比“chill”宽；“chill”指适度但刺骨、令人不适的寒意，或突发的发冷感。
“shiver”作名词指发抖这个动作本身，常因寒冷或恐惧；而“chill”多指引起发抖的那股寒意或发冷感，如发烧时的 chills。
