很多人知道 挖洞在英文裡是 dig
但是 挖鼻孔可千萬不要亂說什麼 dig nose
挖鼻孔的正確說法是 pick one’s nose 比如:

Don’t pick your nose in public. / Stop picking your nose.
挖鼻孔這個行為就叫 nose-picking
例:

Nose-picking in public is usually considered bad manners.
(在公共場所挖鼻孔通常被認為是沒有禮貌的行為)
pick 這個字在這裡是 用手指挖, 的意思
所以像有的人會喜歡摳腳, 就叫 pick one’s toes
例如:

Steve’s girlfriend can’t stand watching him pick his toes.
(Steve 的女友無法忍受看他摳腳)
也有的人只要有傷口一結痂就會忍不住去摳它
這時要在 pick 後面加個 at
因為是指 在那個位置摳
例如:

Don’t pick at your scab. You’ll make it bleed again.
(不要去摳你結痂的地方. 你會讓它再次流血.)
(scab 就是指傷口表面結的痂, 脫落之後在皮膚上留下的印記才叫 ” scar)
也有人喜歡摳青春痘
那就可以說:

Don’t pick at your pimple. It might get infected.
(不要摳你的痘痘. 它可能會發炎.)
