如果你做的某件事取得了成功，你会用什么手势来表示胜利？表示victory的剪刀手吗？这好像还不足以表达你的兴奋之情。那么，就一起来“挥拳庆祝”吧。

这种庆祝方式在英文中叫air punch，字面意思就是对着空气挥拳，其实就是我们常见的一种表达胜利的手势。

我们来看看权威的牛津词典和剑桥英语词典是怎么定义air punch的。

牛津词典解释：

Air punch is an act of thrusting one’s clenched fist up into the air, typically as a gesture of triumph or elation.

剑桥英语词典解释：

Air punch is an act of hitting upwards with your fist to show that you are happy because you have been successful.

总的来说，air punch就是指向上挥舞着攥紧的拳头庆祝胜利或者表达兴奋之情，我们称之为“挥拳庆祝”。

For example:

There were air punches as he holed the ball.
他进球以后，旁边都是挥拳庆祝的人。

The verdict was greeted with cheers and air punches by her family and friends.
她的家人和朋友为这个判决结果欢呼，并挥拳庆祝。
