Without further context, I presume a deep chill = very cold weather.

In this case, it means a very unfriendly relationship.

hmmm...it can be something literal or something that is meant to come out like an idiom..what are the other words in the sentence...usually in translation services and other language websites they would consider getting all the words in the sentence to get the full thought...some words sometimes cant just be literally translated to a better meaning...try to post the whole sentence and we'll se..:)
