crossed fingers, 解释为:交叉手指,是通常用来祈求好运的手势。用食指和中指交叉。有时,这个动作被解释为恳求上帝保佑。常用表达,"cross your fingers", "keep your fingers crossed", "fingers crossed来指代该手势。交叉手指的行为主要属于基督教。最早使用该手势时,两个人用食指交叉形成一个十字架。孩子们通常认为使用这手势是撒小谎的借口。引申到类似的观念,交叉手指会使人觉得承诺无效。To cross one's fingers is a hand gesture commonly used to wish for luck. Occasionally it is interpreted as an attempt to implore God for protection.The gesture is referred to by the common expressions "cross your fingers", "keep your fingers crossed", or just "fingers crossed". The act of crossing one's fingers mainly belongs to Christianity. The earliest use of the gesture had two people crossing their index fingers to form a cross.
The use of the gesture is often considered by children as an excuse for telling a white lie. By extension, a similar belief is that crossing one's fingers invalidates a promise being made.
引申更多用法:
cross one's fingers 交叉手指;但求好运
