"Put the freeze on (someone or something)" = Đóng băng ai/cái gì -> Ngưng lại/làm chậm/hạ bớt cái gì; làm lơ, cô lập và ngừng nói chuyện với ai.

Ví dụ
Boris Johnson knows how to put the freeze on reporters. The embattled British prime minister ducked into a refrigerator when he was surprised by “Good Morning Britain” correspondent Jonathan Swain on Wednesday, according to a report.

The 26-year-old netminder from Whitby, Ont. kicked out 44 shots, including 19 in the middle frame, to help put the freeze on the dangerous Burrards attack at Maple Ridge's Cam Neely Arena. At the other end, snipers Austin Shanks and Mitch Jones counted a string of clutch goals in the third period to stem a Maple Ridge rally.

The provincial government of British Columbia has put the freeze on the Insurance Corporation of BC’s (ICBC) rate application to the BC Utilities Commission (BCUC). Attorney general David Eby asked the insurer to delay its rate application until February of next year. The official explained in a statement that the delays are necessary in order to allow more time for two planned reforms to be implemented.
