Picture hundreds of tiny points pressing up from under the skin all at once — not a cut, not an , just sharp little prickles everywhere, and the whole body wanting to move. Both uses on this page are that. One is where the feeling really is, in a foot you sat on. The other is where English has put it, in a person who is waiting for news and cannot sit still.
「pins and needles」可以想成幾百個細小的針尖同時從皮膚底下往外頂:不是傷口,也不是痠痛,就是一片刺刺麻麻,整個人只想動一動。這一頁的兩個用法都是同一種感覺。一個是真的長在身上的——壓麻的那隻腳。另一個是英文把這種感覺搬到心裡:等消息的人,一樣坐不住。
