My daughter has been looking for a job for almost two years. After sending in lots of resumes and going on a number of interviews, she's become really frustrated. The position she just applied for looks like a good match for her skills and experience. She's got her fingers crossed. This may be the chance she's been waiting for.
這段話是説：我女兒找工作已經找了兩年了。在無數簡歷和若干次面試之後，她特別沮喪。現在她剛剛申請的職位特別適合她的技能和經驗。她交叉手指，祈求好運。這可能就是她一直在等待的機會。
我們也祝她好運! 不知道大家有沒有注意到，這個短語也可以使用被動語態。所以對於我的情況，我也可以説， I have my fingers crossed that my hot air balloon adventure will take place. 我特別希望熱氣球之行能夠成行。The team membershave their fingers crossed that they'll win the next game. 球員祈求好運，希望能夠贏得下一場比賽。
