Today's WordMaster gives new meaning to the expression (often heard at college graduation ceremonies) “The future is in your hands!”
READ SOMEONE'S PALM 手相を見る
- To read someone's palm is to tell someone's fortune by looking at the lines on their hand.
A palm reader is someone who reads people's palms. - read someone's palm とは、手のひらにある線（手相）を見ることで、運勢を占う、つまり、手相を占う、という意味です。
palm reader とは、人の手相を見る人をさします。
- (at a party)
You know, you can learn a lot about a person's character by reading their palm. Let me see yours. - I just had my palm read. See this long line here? It means I'm going to have a long life!
- (on a street in Tokyo at night)
a: Who's that man over there, at the table with the lantern on it?
b: He's a palm reader. He'll tell your fortune for a thousand yen. - a: I heard that some ATM machines have palm readers now.
b: You mean you can get cash and have your fortune told at the same time?
a: Not that kind of palm reader! The machines scan your palm like a fingerprint, to identify you.
Goodbye for now!
