十字形cross在许多文化和宗教信仰中是一种古老的象征，今天它用于很多习语中，与《圣经》、古希腊及罗马的神话有着深厚的历史文化渊源。

1. bear/carry/take one’s cross 背负十字架→忍受苦难源出古代受钉十字架刑的犯人要自己背负十字架到刑场受刑的惯例。

参见《圣经·马太福音》第27章耶稣受难的故事。

后泛指一个人遭受苦难，忍受不幸的折磨。

例如，现在我们常说的一句歌词“不经历风雨，怎能见彩虹”不妨译为“No cross，no crown.”（没有苦难，就没有快乐。

）习语“Everyone must bear his own cross”（每个人都要背负自己的十字架）比喻每个人都应为自己过去所做的一切负责，往往含有因果报应的意思。

2. keep your fingers crossed 把两只手指交叉叠放→祈求好运“Keep your fingers crossed”“cross the/one’s fingers”来自古老的基督教信念。

迷信的人·认为：“Making the sign of the cross（用手画十字）”能驱邪免灾，带来好运气或减轻说谎的罪过。

孩子们说谎时常常“cross their fingers”，以为这样做了就不会因说谎而受到惩罚。

该习语表示祝福或许愿，祈求成功。

西方人用象征耶稣救世的十字架（cross）辟邪。

二三十年前的西方电影里都有吸血僵尸一碰上十字架就惨叫着转身逃跑的场景。

《越狱》中T-bag将一个上门卖《圣经》的男子推倒在地，拿枪对着他，就在扳机扣动之际，那男子口中开始祈祷，胸前的十字架跟着他的声音一起颤抖……而就在这时，T-bag竟然挪开了枪口。

不同国家手势问候语的不同

目录一、手势语的差异 (1)二、招呼语的差异 (6)三.英语国家和中国手势语的对比 (8)一、手势语的差异The same gesture in different countries has different meanings Gesture means we communicate and express by the movement and manners of our hands and fingers. In our daily life, everyone makes gestures, but many gestures have distinct regional and cultural features. The same gesture in different countries or regions may have different meanings, or even opposite, so we should be more aware of some common gestures in different countries. Otherwise, we may make jokes, even being considered as a rude person. Now, let me show you some common hand gestures.1. Ok gesture Thumb and index finger into one circle, the other three fingers straight or slightly bent. Thailand: No problem; Britain: ok, agreement; India : Correct; Tunisia(突尼斯）: Fool; France, however, this gesture means “zero.” Unless you’re motioning to a French scuba diver, you might be accidentally communicating that something (or someone) is worthless.2. V gesture the index finger and the middle finger extends V shape, the thumb curving pressure on the ring finger and the little finger. Majority places: expresses two when we count, means victory ( it is said that British Prime Minister Churchill(丘吉尔）who was the first one use like that in the world war two) We should note the following two points: When it expresses victory, the palm must be out. If the palm inward, that is demeaning(堕落）, insulting（侮辱）meaning. In Greece, we make the gesture , even though the palms outward , such as the arms straight , but it still be suspected to be a contempt (轻蔑)3. Left or right hand fist, index finger straight. Majority countries: The number one; France: Request question; Singapore: The most important; Australia: another beer please；America：Wait a minute.4.yes/ no in most parts of the world, nodding the head up and down means "yes“; shaking the head means "no”. However, in Bulgaria(保加利亚）, their habits is just the opposite. They nod and say "no"; they shake their head and say “yes“.5. Lifting the thumb. In China: good, great, there is appreciation, praise meaning; Italy: the number one; Greece: thumbs up, means enough , disgust, bad guys; United States, Britain , Australia and other countries : good , OK. However, try to avoid it in Thailand, though, where it’s a sign of condemnation. It’s typically a child’s gesture, the Thai equivalent of sticking out your tongue. People will likely be more bemused than hurt ifyou slip up. Still, it’s a good one to avoid.6. Waving the hand United States: the North American people , whether in greeting or farewell to the people , or just to arouse people's attention far away from him , they lift arm, open hand back and forth Europeans say hello or goodbye when they lift arm, waving the hand at the wristup and down , like basketball players dribble moves .7. Raise one’s little finger In China, raising one’s little finger means bad or look down on somebody. In Japan, people raise their little fingers to express one is their lover.在菲律宾表示小个子、年轻或表示对方是小人物；在泰国、沙特阿拉伯表示朋友；在缅甸、印度表示要去厕所；在英国表示懦弱的男人；在美国、韩国、尼日利亚还可以表示打赌。

用十句简单英语激活你的口语

10.大家看到中文 "我也是" 的时候, 百分之九十九的人 "me too." 会立刻脱囗而出. 甚至有些人还会说, "So do I." 但是说真的, 老美是会说, "me too." 和 "So do I." 没错, 但好像太平常了一点, (大概是因为这些用法我上国中的时候就知道了吧!)
一般人想到冒险, 直觉的反应就是, "It's risky" 或是 "It's dangerous." 但是囗语上老美喜欢说, "I'm going out on a limb." 来表示这件事需要冒险. 这个 limb 原意是指树枝, 想象当你爬树时爬到小树枝上去了,你是不是不知小树枝什么时候会断掉? 这种不确定的危机感, 就是为什么老美要用 "Go out on a limb." 来表示冒险的原因了. 例如你来到一个清澈的河边, 你很想下去游泳, 但四周又没有救生员, 这时你就可以说, "Maybe I'm going out on a limb, but I think I am gonna try it." (我知道这么作有点冒险, 但我还是要试试看.)
大家相信吗? "That's OK." 和 "OK." 指的是完全不同的意思喔. 如果别人问你要不要先洗个澡啊? 你答, "That's OK." 就是不要的意思, 答 "OK." 却是要的意思. 像我刚来美国时因为不信邪, 结果每次都耍宝.
记得有一次老美来我家作客, 我问他, "Do you need something to drink?" 他说 "That's OK." 我想 "OK." 就是好的意思啊, 当然赶紧把茶水奉上, 老美一脸莫名其妙的表情. 其实我这是错误的示范. 要记住, 当别人说, "That's OK." 就表示 "I'm fine." 我很好, 你不用操心的意思, 言下之意就是你不用麻烦了, 我会照顾我自己. 所以要记住, "That's OK." 其实有没关系, 无所谓的味道在里面. 所以如果你要明确的拒绝的话, 可以这么说, "That's OK. I don't need anything to drink."

It's a fun little gesture that can hopefully make your wishes come true! Here's how you do it: Take your fingers on one hand and cross them over the fingers on your other hand. Simple, right?Now, where did this weird tradition come from? Well, there are a few different stories about its origins. One tale says that a long, long time ago, people used to cross their index fingers to form a cross shape. They did this to remind themselves of the cross that Jesus was crucified on. The cross was seen as a symbol of truth and honoring your word, so crossing fingers became a way to show you were making a sincere wish or promise.Another story claims that crossing fingers started in England hundreds of years ago. Back then, people believed that each finger on the hand had a vein that led straight to the heart. So by crossing your fingers, you were crossing those heart veins together and doubling the power of your wish!Pretty crazy origins, huh?

It doesn't give you magical powers, but it can't hurt to try it for extra luck.So when would you actually want to cross your fingers? Here are some common situations where kids might do it:When you're about to take a big test at school and you want to do wellRight before your team's big game, wishing you'll winIf you really, really want a certain gift for your birthday or a holidayWhen your parents are discussing whether you can have a sleepover or stay up lateAnytime you're just hoping for some good fortune!My friends and I cross our fingers all the time for little things. Like if we see a shooting star, we'll quickly cross our fingers and make a wish on it. Or if I'm about to spin the wheel in a board game, I'll cross my fingers for a good spin. It's just a silly ritual we do for fun.The cool thing about this phrase is that it's used all over the world, by kids and adults. Next time you hear someone say "Cross your fingers for me!" or "I'll keep my fingers crossed!", you'll know exactly what they mean.So go ahead and give it a try! Cross those fingers and make a wish. Who knows, maybe a little bit of luck will come your way. Even if it doesn't actually work, at least you'll have done a fun hand motion. At the very least, it shows that you're hoping for the best.The next time you really want something good to happen, don't just wait around with your fingers uncrossed. Cross 'em up for some extra luck! That's the magic of this silly phrase that people have been using for centuries. Why not become part of the tradition?Cross your fingers, make a wish, and maybe, just maybe, it will come true!篇2Crossing Your Fingers - A Sign of Good Luck!Have you ever felt really nervous before an important test or game and crossed your fingers for good luck? Maybe your mom or dad told you to "cross your fingers" when you hoped for something special, like a puppy for your birthday. The act of crossing your fingers is something many people do when they want a bit of extra luck or hope that something good will happen.But where did this strange tradition come from? And why do we think crossing our fingers can actually bring us good fortune? As a curious kid, I decided to do some research and find out the origins and meaning behind this common superstition.The MeaningLet's start with what "cross your fingers" really means. When you cross your fingers, you take your index finger and cross it over your middle finger. Some people cross their other hand's fingers over as well, creating a crisscross pattern between all their fingers.By crossing your fingers, you are making a secret wish or hoping for good luck with whatever it is you want to happen. It's a physical way to show that you really, really hope for something to go your way. The crossed finger position is meant to be a symbolic gesture of luck.The OriginsSo where did this finger-crossing habit begin? There are a few different theories about how it started:From ChristianityOne of the most common beliefs is that crossing fingers originated from the Christian ritual of making the Sign of the Cross. By crossing two fingers over one another, people may have adapted this religious symbol into a more secular gesture for luck.From Ancient Pagan BeliefsSome historians think finger crossing could have evolved from ancient pagan practices. The cross symbol was considered lucky and sacred by many ancient cultures long before Christianity. Crossing fingers may have stemmed from those early cross symbols used for luck and protection.From Superstitious SailorsAnother theory has to do with superstitious sailors and fishermen in the past. These salty sea dogs believed that crossing fingers or toes helped "catch" any luck that might be floating by in the winds or currents. By making a cross shape with their digits, they felt it would help snag bits of good fortune from the waters around them.From Tying the Fingers TogetherFinally, some people think finger crossing originated from an old tradition of making tiny string crosses and tying them around crossed fingers. These mini crosses were thought to ward off bad luck and keep evil spirits at bay. Over time, just crossing bare fingers may have replaced this string ritual.A Global TraditionNo matter which theory is correct, the act of crossing fingers for good luck seems to span many cultures across the globe. In India, people use the same finger crossing gesture and say "keeping my fingers crossed" when hoping for the best. In Russia, people cross their thumbs in a similar way, while the French are known to cross their index fingers and say "crosses of wood." Even Japan has a version where people cross their middle and ring fingers together.Not Just for LuckSo the next time you feel that surge of hope and start to cross your fingers, remember - you're taking part in along-standing tradition that people have used for centuries to capture a bit of extra luck. Whether it really works or not, crossing your fingers is a fun ritual that connects us to superstitions of the past. Maybe it will even bring you that puppy for your birthday! I know I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you.篇3Crossing Your Fingers for Good LuckHi there! My name is Emma, and I'm a 4th grader at Oakwood Elementary School. Today, I want to tell you all about the phrase "cross your fingers" and what it means. It's something my friends and I say a lot, especially when we're hoping for good luck on a test or trying to make a wish come true.You've probably heard people say "cross your fingers" before, but do you know where the saying comes from? It's actually a pretty old expression that dates back hundreds of years! The exact origin is a bit of a mystery, but many people believe it started as a Christian practice.Way back in the days when most people went to church every Sunday, the priests would give sermons about the importance of making the sign of the cross. They taught that crossing yourself was a way to ask God for protection and blessing. Over time, some people started crossing their index fingers instead of making the traditional sign. It was a simple, discreet way for them to say a little prayer without drawing too much attention.As the years went by, the finger-crossing habit spread far beyond the church. People started doing it whenever they wanted a bit of extra luck or were making a wish. Maybe you've even caught your parents or grandparents crossing their fingers when they're feeling hopeful about something! It became a common superstition and good luck charm.These days, we cross our fingers all the time without really thinking about the religious roots behind it. My best friend Lily crossed her fingers super tightly last week before her big soccer game, hoping their team would win. I'll definitely be crossing mine before the spelling bee next month!Some people have taken the finger-crossing habit to the extreme. There are records of sailors who wouldn't uncross their fingers for days or weeks at a time while out at sea, trying toensure safe travels. Can you imagine how hard it must have been to do everything with crossed fingers? Writing, eating, tying knots? I'm glad I don't have to keep mine crossed for that long!Not every culture crosses fingers for luck, though. In some places, like Russia and Germany, people are more likely to hold their thumbs instead. Jewish people often say a Hebrew phrase meaning "without evil" while making a hand gesture. The idea of wishing for luck and success seems to be universal, even if the exact traditions vary.So, next time your mom tells you to "cross your fingers" before a big event, you'll know exactly what she means and where that silly saying comes from. It's just a lighthearted way of asking for a little extra fortune to go your way. Maybe you'll get a kick out of telling your friends the history behind it too!For me, I plan to keep on crossing my fingers whenever I need some luck. Test days, auditions, you name it – my fingers will be crossed super tightly! Does it actually work to improve your chances? Well, there's no scientific proof...but I'd like to think it can't hurt. At the very least, it's a fun tradition that reminds me to stay hopeful, even when I'm feeling nervous. Call me superstitious, but I'm going to keep crossing my fingers for good luck!篇4Cross Your Fingers: A Lucky Charm or Just a Silly Habit?Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you really, really want something to happen? Maybe you're waiting for your parents to say yes to letting you get that new video game. Or perhaps you're about to take a big test at school and you're hoping to do well. In times like these, you might catch yourself making a secret little gesture – crossing your fingers!Crossing your fingers is when you interlock the fingers of one hand and press them tightly together. It's like you're giving yourself a special hand signal. But why do we do this weird thing? Does it actually bring good luck? Or is it just a silly habit we've picked up?The idea behind crossing fingers goes way, way back to ancient times. Way before video games, phones, or even books existed! Back then, people were very superstitious. They believed that making certain hand gestures or carrying special charms could influence the outcome of events. Cross your fingers in the right way and maybe, just maybe, the universe would smile upon you.One popular legend says that the gesture comes from the ancient Christians. Back when Christianity was still new, Christians were sometimes persecuted for their beliefs. Crossing your fingers was supposedly a secret symbol to identify other Christians. The cross represented their faith, while keeping the fingers crossed and hidden was a way to practice their religion in secrecy. Over time, it became a gesture for seeking luck or making a wish come true.Another theory traces crossing fingers all the way to pagan roots. Some believe the gesture was meant to mimic tying an invisible knot. By crossing and pressing the fingers, you were symbolically "tying up" good luck so that it couldn't escape! Kind of like wishing upon a knotted piece of string or a dandelion before blowing away the seeds.Nowadays, most people don't really believe that crossing fingers has any magical powers. It's more of a psychological thing we do to feel in control when we really have no control over a situation. If you're about to spin a chance wheel or roll some dice, crossing your fingers gives you a little ritual to ease your nerved and hopefully sway probability in your favor.Crossing fingers is also tied to the idea of honesty and making promises. When you cross your fingers behind your backwhile saying something, it's like you're letting yourself "off the hook". The promise doesn't count because of your secretly crossed fingers! Teachers always tell kids not to do this because it defeats the purpose of giving your word.

那就是: cross one's fingers.大家都知道，cross是交叉的意思，fingers是手指；cross one's fingers, 字面意思是手指交叉，实际上就是希望得到好运气的意思。

美国人经常把食指和中指交叉，意思就是祝你好运! I cross my fingers, hoping the weather would be good this weekend. 我交叉手指，希望这个周末会有好天气。

我们一直很努力地训练。

不过下个星期，我们将面临最这个赛季最强劲的挑战，很多队员都交叉手指期盼好运。
