TALK TO THE HAND

New Roman">TALK TO THE HAND

偶然听到这个习语，查了下朗文字典，居然没有查到，于是透过网络资源了解下这个词组的意思。作了一下的归纳。

首先澄清，并不是对手说话的意思。

以下看详情。

 

TALK TO THE HAND

 

It can be used to ignore and disregard a comment or an insult when you can't think of a way to counter it. When this phrase is used, it is customary to raise your hand, palm facing out, and place it almost touching your adversary's face.

FOR EXAMPLE:.

Misty: Kylee, you a nasty, ugly, stupid-
Kylee: Talk to the hand. (Raises hand to Misty's face.)

To tell someone that you do not wish to listen to what they have to say and that they may as well stop.
FOR EXAMPLE:

I am over listening to what you have to say so just talk to the hand

It can be used when someone has information to tell you, but you are just not interested in hearing it. Almost another way of saying "shut up". As there’s a saying goes: Talk to the hand 'cause the face ain't listening./ Talk to the hand because the face don't wanna hear it/ talk to the hand 'cause the face don't give a damn

FOR EXAMPLE:

I ain't listenin' to yo' problems! Talk to the hand!"

 

 

简而言之, TALK TO THE HAND,意思是我没兴趣知道,住嘴. 说这句话的时候通常需要配合手势,摊开手掌,掌心向外,举到对方的面前. 不过,这个说法并不礼貌,用以回应不令人愉快的谈话时可以使用.
