【翻译】
如果有人对你说:give me five,不要去翻口袋找5块钱!这会逗别人笑!说话的人并不是问你要钱,而是你的手指。
在美国,give me five或give me the high five是一种流行的手势(动作)。你经常会在电影或电视里可以看到这个手势。它是指两个人用举起的右手互相击掌。
当人们初次见面或有什么开心的事发生时,他们都会做出这个手势,比如,学生考试考得好,或彩票中奖。如果一支足球队赢得了比赛,球员们就会与周围的人都击掌庆祝。
这个手势可能起源于古罗马人对着皇帝提高右臂的这一动作。这表示提高右臂的人手中没有刀剑。
为什么不试着对你的朋友做出这个击掌狂欢的动作呢?
词语解释:
high five n. 举手击掌(表示狂喜或庆祝胜利)
