手指是finger,指頭尖是fingertip。關于手指的英語諺語有:
She was a lady to her fingertips.意思是“她渾身都透出一股淑女氣”。指甲是nail,也可叫fingernail。He is witty to the fingernails.譯為“他渾身上下充滿機智”。My fingers are itching to do it.譯為“我躍躍欲試”。look through one s fingers at…譯為“對……假裝看不見”。
大拇指是thumb。His fingers are all thumbs.譯為“他笨手笨腳”。食指是index finger或forefinger;中指是middle finger;無名指是ring finger;小拇指是little finger。He has a remarkable talent for twisting people around his little finger.譯為“他有種能力,能將別人玩弄于股掌之上”。can count on the fingers則譯為“屈指可數(shù)”。
