Grasping, when it describes a person, is not about hands. It means someone is too hungry for money or things, and will not let go — they do not like to give, share, or even spend. It is a cold picture: always reaching, never opening the hand.

Grasping Grasping, when it describes a person用來形容人的時候, is not about hands跟手沒有關係。It它 means someone is too hungry for money or things指的是一個人對錢或東西太過渴求, and will not let go而且捨不得放手——they do not like to give, share, or even spend不喜歡給人、分享，甚至不喜歡花錢。It它 is a cold picture是一種冷冰冰的畫面：always reaching, never opening the hand一直在伸手要，卻從來不張開手。

You meet it in stories and in rather careful, judging talk; in everyday speech people more often say greedy or stingy. Grasping feels a little stronger and more bookish, and it often judges the whole character, not one moment. A grasping landlord, a grasping relative: the word is rarely kind.

You你 meet it in stories and in rather careful, judging talk會在故事裡、或比較講究、帶批判意味的談話裡遇到這個字；in everyday speech日常口語裡 people more often say greedy or stingy人們比較常說 greedy 或 stingy。Grasping Grasping feels a little stronger and more bookish感覺更強烈、更書面, and而且 it often judges the whole character, not one moment常常是在評斷整個人品，而不是一時的行為。A grasping landlord, a grasping relative貪心的房東、貪心的親戚：the word is rarely kind這個字很少帶著善意。

Though actually, the same spelling is also just the ordinary -ing form of the verb grasp — “She is grasping the rope.” That is a different job in the sentence. When we say “a grasping man”, we mean the money sense.

Though actually不過其實，the same spelling同樣的拼法 is also just the ordinary -ing form of the verb grasp也可以只是動詞 grasp 的普通 -ing 形式——"She is grasping the rope."（她正抓著繩子）。That那 is a different job in the sentence在句子裡是不同的角色。When we say "a grasping man"當我們說「a grasping man」的時候, we mean the money sense指的是貪心那個意思。
