"cross your fingers"

An old superstition says that if you cross your fingers (usually two fingers of the same hand) it will bring good luck. Example: "I don't know what I will get for my birthday, but I am crossing my fingers that it will be a bicycle."

You cross your fingers when you try to make something happen by wishing that it will happen. A common saying: "Let's cross our fingers and hope for the best." Example: "Good luck on your test tomorrow. We'll be crossing our fingers for you!" Reply: "Thanks."

The meaning of don't cross your fingers changes a bit. It means don't hope too much for what you want to happen, because there is a strong chance that it might not happen. It means that you should not have expectations that are too high. Example: "It would be great if our team won today, but don't cross your fingers." Example: "We are hoping that John will get accepted to medical school, but we are not crossing our fingers."

Twiddle thumbs是什么意思。

字面意思是选择拇指。。。
是不是指比较无聊的时候玩弄手指啊

stellahie

就是那个8个手指交叉，2个拇指互相绕来绕去，无聊的时候玩的那个动作啦。

Day 3

[0013]    Jimmy is bound to get ahead.  /  This article is bound to go up in price.

[0014]    Deliberate in counsel, prompt in action.

Day 4
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
[0016]    Fatal natural and man-made disasters contribute to perdition of a great many species.

[0017]    Opponents of meat-eating habits argue that consuming animal flesh is immoral.

[0018]    to crack down on all serious infringements

[0019]    He is sorely perplexed to account for the situation.

[0020]    add spice to my spare time

Day 5
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
[0021]    Doing so can render students a good opportunity to put theory to pratice.

[0022]    Speaking of the automobile,many insist that it is a curse rather than a blessing.

[0023]    A man is not finished when he is defeated. He is finished when he quits.

[0024]    The human race having entered a new epoch, the world is witnessing a host of earth-shaking changes..

[0025]    In a nutshell, it was not my cup of tea.

MillerYang

Day 6
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
[0026]    There is no doubt that acquiring a range of knowledge can add spice to students' studies.

[0027]    exhilarate one's spirits.

[0028]    At first glance, a sentence fragment may look like a sentence because it begins with a capital letter and ends with a period.

[0029]    Many of the people who drove by refused to stop and help. But not all of them.

[0030]    Scorcese had offered me a bit part in the movie - The chance of a lifetime! And she wanted me to turn it down.

MillerYang

Day 6：
Political leaders exchange calls for resignation
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
[0031]    And in a late breaking development, the elusive email has been found by Federal Police and the public servant who dropped the bombshell evidence against the Prime Minister on Friday, is himself now under police investigation..

[0032]    We most certainly are; because it's Mr Turnbull's dirty tricks campaign that kicked this whole issue off.

[0033]    Mr Rudd says an exhaustive search through the computer systems has turned up no such email.

[0034]    What is at stake here, is Mr Turnbull's knowledge of the contents of this fault, false, fake and forged email, his staff's knowledge of it; the extent to which they sought to disseminate it to others in the media, and to build up this smoking gun case against myself and the Treasurer.

[0035]    In the interim, expect more ultimatums, threats and accusations from the nation's political leaders.

Day 7
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
[0036]    Although the standard word order in an English sentence is subject-verb-object, exceptions abound.

[0037]    There are some trees that deprive the house of light. / Nothing can bereave us of such sweet memory .

[0038]    That was no mean achievement..

[0039]    A product of my fevered brain.

[0040]    I tell you more about irregular plurals in a minute.

MillerYang

Day 8
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
[0041]    We are not content to stand still..

[0042]    He is bent on winning at all costs.

[0043]    Everything is just hunky-dory here.

[0044]    He did it in hope of a reward.

[0045]    He knows French and German, not to mention English.

MillerYang

Day 9
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
[0046]    The lessons learned at the cost of blood helped to sober us. / It will be at the cost of human liberty.

[0047]    She is passionately fond of tennis.

[0048]    He has done many jobs: typist salesman, deliverer and so forth.

[0049]    In addition to being considerate, helpful products and people must also be smart.

[0050]    Handsome is that handsome does.

MillerYang

Day 10
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
[0051]    A grasp of mundane affairs is genuine knowledge, understanding of worldly wisdom is true learning.

[0052]    I will put some trust in preceding navigators.

[0053]    After all, they can’t do it. So why insist?

[0054]    In most walks of life you only get out what you put in.

[0055]    If schools devoted more time to teaching modern communication skills, such as using e-mail, rather than traditional ones, like spelling and grammar, they would prepare children better for the future.

MillerYang

Day 11
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
[0056]    He is the incarnation of peace.

[0057]    The vocation will fit you to a hair.

[0058]    It is dangerous to judge on the basis of first impressions.

[0059]    At best we can do only half as much as last year.

[0060]    No admittance (except on business).
