5个手指头的英文

5个手指头的英文

thumb: 拇指 (b不发音)

ˈindex finger/pointer finger/forefinger:食指

我们会用食指来指某个方向,

pointer意思是“指引“

动词是:point,指出

index也是“指针”的意思,

都是指方向的

所以食指叫:

pointer finger ,index finger

fore意思是前面的,前部的

食指靠近一个手掌的前部,所以也叫forefinger。

middle finger:中指

ring finger:无名指

little/ pinky finger:小指

“小指”称为little finger很好理解,

但外国人也常用pinky finger

有不少人猜测是不是因为外国人喜欢把小指涂成pink的颜色

这样记也挺好

不过,pinky最早源自pinkie这个词,

也是small, tiny(小的)的意思

所以,外国人也会把”小指“称为pinky finger。

Burn your finger什么意思?

说到finger, 芭比想起最近在一本英语杂志上看到了这样一句话:

That camp within the leadership that had been pushing for at least a transactional relationship with the United States, has been really cornered and marginalized because they've had their fingers burned.

伊朗领导层内部过去一直立主至少与美国保持贸易关系的阵营事实上已陷入困境并且被边缘化,原因是他们由于自己的错误决策而受到了惩罚

谁会没事烧自己的手指呢?

除非是没事闲着或者愚蠢至极

burn one's fingers

或had one's fingers burned

由于多管闲事(愚蠢行为)而吃苦头

(尤其指损失金钱)

-You know nothing about these risky stocks. You're burning your fingers.

你对风险高的股票一窍不通。你这是在自讨苦吃。

-I thought I would make a big fortune through investments, but I ended up with burning my fingers.

我以为通过投资会让我大赚一笔,结果赔了。
