Why are you always all thumbs?
你怎么总是苯手笨脚的?
单词thumb,拇指,拇指被认为是十个手指中最不灵活的。所以由此意引申,词组be all thumbs,英文的解释是“Lacking physical coordination, skill, or grace; clumsy”,即,缺乏身体协调的能力、技巧,缺乏优雅的风范,笨拙的,用“苯手笨脚”这个成语正合适。这个词组还可以写成,be all fingers and thumbs。
例句:I was all fingers and thumbs this morning, and could hardly button up my shirt.
今天早上我笨极了,差点连衬衫都扣不上了。
