成功时的“挥拳庆祝”英文怎么说?
英语课
如果你做的某件事取得了成功,你会用什么手势来表示胜利?表示victory的剪刀手吗?这好像还不足以表达你的兴奋之情。那么,就一起来“挥拳庆祝”吧。
这种庆祝方式在英文中叫air punch,字面意思就是对着空气挥拳,其实就是我们常见的一种表达胜利的手势。
我们来看看权威的牛津词典和剑桥英语词典是怎么定义air punch的。
牛津词典解释:
Air punch is an act of thrusting one’s clenched 1 fist up into the air, typically as a gesture of triumph or elation 2.
剑桥英语词典解释:
Air punch is an act of hitting upwards 3 with your fist to show that you are happy because you have been successful.
总的来说,air punch就是指向上挥舞着攥紧的拳头庆祝胜利或者表达兴奋之情,我们称之为“挥拳庆祝”。
For example:
1. There were air punches as he holed the ball.
他进球以后,旁边都是挥拳庆祝的人。
2. The verdict was greeted with cheers and air punches by her family and friends.
她的家人和朋友为这个判决结果欢呼,并挥拳庆祝。
