俗话说:一母生九子,九子各不同。这句话在我邻居家孩子的身上体现得淋漓尽致。大女儿心灵手巧,做什么像什么;而二女儿却刚好相反,总是笨手笨脚。“All thumbs”就用来形容她这种笨手笨脚的人。
大拇指与其它手指配合,可以捡东西、旋转螺丝钉。但是,想象一下,如果你的十个指头都变成大拇指了,做起事来会多么笨拙。“All thumbs”就是这么来的,尤指做手工活时笨手笨脚。
看下面例句:
Mike can't build the model of the atom for the science project. He's all thumbs. (迈克做不了科学项目中的原子模型,他笨手笨脚的。)
