以下是一些的英语和汉语对手指的称呼: 1.thumb :大拇指 。与汉语相映成趣的是,英语的all(fingers and ) thumbs也表示"笨手笨脚"的意思,例如:(1)I'm all fingers and thumbs this morning. I don't seem to be able to button up my shirt.今天早上我的手怎么这么笨呢,好像连衬衫都扣不上了 。
(2)He was so excited that his fingers were all thumbs and he dropped the teacup.他激动得手都不好使了,竟把茶杯摔了 。2. forefinger :又称index finger,即食指 。
前缀fore-表示"位置靠前的"(placed at the front),所以从排位上说,forefinger应为"第一指" 。从功用上看,此手指伸出时有标示或指向的作用 。
在一些英语工具书中,我们会见到这样的表示"参见"(index)含义的手型符号 。3. middle finger :中指 。
此指居中,名正言顺,且与汉语说法也一致 。4. ring finger:无名指 。
从世界各地的婚俗习惯来说,结婚戒指(wedding ring)戴在这一手指(通常指左手)之上,表示已婚 。5. little finger: 顾名思义为小指 。
在美国和苏格兰,人们又赋予它一个爱称,管pinkie(pinky),后缀-ie(-y)有"小巧可爱"之意 。和时间有关的英语趣味小知识职场英语 2010-02-24 17:52:16 阅读264 评论0 字号:大中小 订阅 (一) 时间是金,其值无价1. Time is money.(时间就是金钱或一寸光阴一寸金)2. Time flies.(光阴似箭,日月如梭)3.
