易错句子Their friendship is cooled.
正确表达Their friendship has cooled.
汉语说"关系冷淡下来了",用一个"了"就表示变化已完成,学生常照搬成 be + 过去分词。但 is cooled 是"被冷却"的被动语态,暗示有外部施动者把关系弄冷;要表达关系自己变得冷淡、强度减弱这一结果状态,必须用现在完成时 has cooled,cool 在这里是不及物用法。

易错句子After the quarrel last week, their relations cool quickly.
正确表达After the quarrel last week, their relations cooled quickly.
汉语动词本身不携带时态信息,"上周争吵之后关系很快变冷淡"里的动词形式不会改变。英语必须靠词形表示时间:句中已有 last week 这样的过去时间状语,cool 又是规则动词,要用过去式 cooled,不能保留原形 cool。

易错句子The rain made the air cooled.
正确表达The rain cooled the air.
汉语用"使 + 结果"结构(使空气变凉)表达"使……变凉",学生常按字面译成 make + 宾语 + 过去分词。但 make 后只能接形容词原级或名词,不能接过去分词;而且英语本身就有表示"使变凉"的动词 cool,直接说 cooled the air 即可,无需借助 make。
