【适用场合】

今天我们来学习一个英文口语中常见的表达,叫做high-five

这个表达可以当名词用,此时中间通常不加连字符,可以表示(两人表示问候或钦佩时的)高举胳膊击掌的动作本身;a greeting or an expression of admiration in which two people each raise a hand above their shoulder and bring the fronts of their hands together with force


如果加上了连字符,优先考虑动词词性,可以理解成:to give someone a high five

当动词用,有及物动词,也有不及物动词的用法。

eg: As the show ended, Chris high-fived his friends.

表演结束,克里斯和他的朋友们击掌庆祝。

eg: Friends hugged and high-fived.
