1、thumb 大拇指。
与汉语相映成趣的是,英语的all(fingers and ) thumbs也表示“笨手笨脚”的意思,例如:
(1)I‘m all fingers and thumbs this morning。 I don’t seem to be able to button up my shirt。今天早上我的手怎么这么笨呢,好像连衬衫都扣不上了。
(2)He was so excited that his fingers were all thumbs and he dropped the teacup。他激动得手都不好使了,竟把茶杯摔了。
2、 forefinger 又称index finger,即食指。
前缀fore-表示“位置靠前的”(placed at the front),所以从排位上说,forefinger应为“第一指”。从功用上看,此手指伸出时有标示或指向的作用。在一些英语工具书中,我们会见到这样的表示“参见”(index)含义的手型符号。
3、middle finger 中指。
此指居中,名正言顺,且与汉语说法也一致。
4、ring finger 无名指。
从世界各地的婚俗习惯来说,结婚戒指(wedding ring)戴在这一手指(通常指左手)之上,表示已婚。
5、 little finger 顾名思义为小指。
在美国和苏格兰,人们又赋予它一个爱称,管它叫 pinkie(pinky),后缀-ie(-y)有“小巧可爱”之意。
只有当手端五指在自己的位置上相互协作时,才能发挥最大作用。这就像我们的英语单词,单个看起来也许没有什么重大意义,但是当它们集合在一起就会构成一句话、一首诗、一篇赏心悦目的文章了。
别看手指每个说法都不一样,好像很复杂的样子,但是脚趾就相对简单多了。
脚趾总称:toe(s)
大脚趾:big toe
第二脚趾:second toe
第三脚趾:third toe
第四脚趾:fourth toe
小脚趾:little toe
例:看见这完整的脚后跟脚弓和五个脚趾了吗?
See the complete heel, arch and five little piggies?

大拇指——thumb
英语里称呼大拇指为thumb。五指相互配合会很灵活,那要是五个都是大拇指呢?就会是非常不灵光了。英语里的all(fingers and ) thumbs表示的就是“笨手笨脚”的意思,例如:
(1)I'm all fingers and thumbs this morning. I don't seem to be able to button up my shirt.
今天早上我的手怎么这么笨呢,好像连衬衫都扣不上了。
(2)He was so excited that his fingers were all thumbs and he dropped the teacup.
他激动得手都不好使了,竟把茶杯摔了。
食指——forefinger
又叫做index finger。前缀fore-表示“位置靠前的”(placed at the front)。从功用上看,这个手指伸出时有标示或指向的作用。在一些英语工具书中,我们会见到这样的表示“参见”(index)含义的手型符号。
中指——middle finger
此指居中,名正言顺,和汉语说法也是很一致哦。
无名指——ring finger
从世界各地的婚俗习惯来说,结婚戒指(wedding ring)戴在这一手指(通常指左手)之上,表示已婚,所以无名指就成了ring finger了。
小指——little finger
小指果然是很“小”。在美国和苏格兰,人们又赋予它一个爱称,管它叫 pinkie(pinky),因为后缀-ie(-y)有“小巧可爱”的意思。
