✔ 最佳答案
Ususally people would say that when someone said something bad or not something that want to happen in the future, they will touch the wood to prevent it from happening,
like:
i said : i think my boyfriend is cheating on me,
Mr. A: touchwood, dont be silly, it is not going to happen, u dont know that.
something like that,
or
i said : hopefully i will get my money back from this guy on time,
Mr. B: touchwood it is going to happen very soon.
Remarks:
dont use this word in ur homework, or anything that u a going to hand in to others ( in the formal ones ) it is just something people say in a informal way, like causel talking, like talking with a friend, otherwise it is going to make u loss points in the paper....
be careful with that....
Hope it helps
