很多同學就以爲，英語世界不存在看手相的問題，其實外國比我們還盛行。那麼“看手相”如何用英語表達呢？

正確的說法是：read sb's palm 或者palm reading

Palm 是“手掌，掌心”，發音是[pɑːm]

朗文詞典這樣解釋“read sb's palm”含義：

Read sombody's palm is to tell someone what is going to happen to them in the future by looking at the lines on their hands.

翻譯過來就是：“看手相”就是通過看某人手掌的掌紋，告訴他未來會發生什麼事情。

He read my palm for a while and said to me that I would make a fortune.

他看了我之手掌一會，然後對我說，我會發大財。

掌紋可以用“line”來表達，看例句：

Beginners at palm reading need to learn the three basic lines.

初學看手相的人一定要學會看三大手紋線。
