<< review queue entry 74294 - submitted by 'kbaiko' >> I think "to fondle admiringly" just gives the wrong idea. fondle > to handle tenderly, lovingly, or lingeringly : caress > to show affection or desire by caressing The idiom is about not willing to let go of something (释手 means "to let go"). There's nothing about stroking or caressing the thing. |
