標題[英中] keep/lift knuckles off the ground
時間Wed Oct 17 22:31:15 2012
請問各位，這是什麼意思？
Keep/lift/get one's knuckles off the ground
google了一小時，還是找不到答案，只好上來求譯
找到一個例子，但感覺不太有幫助
"Spooks: Episode #5.3" (2006)
Zafar Younis: Where's Jo?
Ros: Death by mascara. It was horrible to watch.
Ruth's agonizing over the fact that there are no more horses
in modern-day warfare and Adam's on a course learning
how to "lift his knuckles off the ground."
So, you'll have to make do with me, I'm afraid.
Zafar Younis: Shouldn't you be in prison or something?
Ros: This is the something.
因為這個詞好像是一句俚語
請問有人知道它大概的意思嗎？
謝謝解惑！
