词组 fingers crossed!
释义 fingers crossed!

used for expressing hope UK, 1924
Describes the action–the middle finger twisted over and around the forefinger–that doesn’t always accompany the words. A basic prayer, representing the sign of the cross, although the Christian God is mostly forgotten in familiar and superstitious usage. The gesture, but not the term, may also accompany the swearing of an oath, or represent friendship and sexual contact.
  • “Wish me luck,” smiled Guy [...] “Fingers crossed, boys...” — Kevin Sampson, Powder, p. 39–40, 1999
