Cross our finger意思

"Cross our fingers" is an English expression that means to wish for good luck or to hope for a favorable outcome. It is often used as a gesture where you cross the index finger over the middle finger, typically of the same hand. This phrase and gesture are commonly used in situations where the outcome is uncertain, and you want to express a desire for things to go well.

The origin of this expression and gesture is somewhat unclear, but it is believed to have roots in ancient times when people thought that crossing fingers could ward off evil spirits or bring good fortune. It is also sometimes associated with the Christian cross, which could symbolize a prayer for divine assistance.

In modern usage, "crossing your fingers" is a casual and superstitious way to express hope or wish for luck without taking any concrete action to influence the outcome. It's a simple gesture that can be done unobtrusively and is often accompanied by the phrase "fingers crossed" or "keep your fingers crossed" to indicate that you are hoping for the best.
