英语和汉语对手指的称呼既有差别又有相似之处。现介绍如下:


  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 1 :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,管它叫 pinkie(pinky),后缀-ie(-y)有"小巧可爱"之意。


  五指长短不一,各有各的用处,但唯有相互协作才能发挥最大的功能。



n.食指
  • He pinched the leaf between his thumb and forefinger.他将叶子捏在拇指和食指之间。
  • He held it between the tips of his thumb and forefinger.他用他大拇指和食指尖拿着它。
