今日小常識

The gesture of thumbs up is often believed to originate in ancient Rome following gladiatorial combat when the fate of a defeated warrior was decided by spectators watching the event. They would gesture either with thumbs downturned - to mimic the stabbing motion of a dagger - to indicate the warrior be executed, or if the warrior had fought well, an upturned thumb - or thumbs up - would signify the warrior could be spared.



拇指朝上的這個動作可能源于古羅馬時代角斗士的武斗。那個時候的角斗士如果輸了,他的命運將由觀眾決定。觀眾做出拇指朝下的手勢,就像是一把匕首向下插的樣子,這就意味著角斗者會被處死。如果觀眾認為角斗者表現(xiàn)很好,做出拇指朝上的手勢,表示可以饒他一命。
