Pinch
Slang Term
BritishAmericanAustralian
★★★★☆ Common
Casual
含义: To steal; also to arrest.
偷；逮捕
robar; también arrestar
盗む、逮捕する
훔치다; 체포하다
Like 'nick,' pinch means both to steal and to be arrested. 'I got pinched' = I was arrested.
和'nick'一样，pinch既表示偷，也表示被逮捕。'I got pinched'=我被逮捕了。
Como 'nick', pinch significa tanto robar como ser arrestado. 'I got pinched' = me arrestaron.
「nick」と同様に、pinchは盗むことと逮捕されることの両方を意味する。「I got pinched」=逮捕された。
'nick'과 마찬가지로 pinch도 훔치다와 체포되다 두 가지 뜻이 있다. 'I got pinched' = 체포됐다.
字面意思: Grab between fingers (steal)
