掐指的英文_掐指怎么翻譯
“掐指”在英文中通常翻譯為 **“counting on one’s fingers”** 或 **“finger calculation”**。
如果強(qiáng)調(diào)占卜、算命等傳統(tǒng)語(yǔ)境中的“掐指一算”,則常用: - **to calculate by pinching the fingers** - **to count on joints of the fingers**(特指用手指關(guān)節(jié)推算) - 意譯時(shí)也可說(shuō) **“to make a quick mental calculation”**(快速心算),但會(huì)丟失手勢(shì)動(dòng)作的文化意象。 例如: > 他掐指一算,說(shuō)道:“此事不宜。” > He counted on his fingers and said, "This is not advisable." |
