text about OCD(强迫症),这里有几个词不明白

Tics and Tourette’s syndrome: Involuntary
sounds and movements

Everyone demonstrates a few behaviors from time to time that can look a lot
like tics. For example, who hasn’t drummed fingers, tapped a pencil, or expe-
rienced a sudden body jerk? However, those behaviors don’t quite qualify as
tics. That’s because tic disorder involves movements or sounds that occur
against a person’s will, suddenly, repeatedly, and irresistibly. Tourette’s
syndrome includes multiple movements with sounds.

drum fingers是什么意思?tapped a pencil是不是削铅笔(猜的),那tap在这里取何意,金山词霸里查到的意思好像都不太符合。

金山词霸:
tap vt. 开发;(从容器等)汲取(液体);割[打]开…取[放]液体 vi. 轻声走;跳踢踏舞 n. 龙头,阀门;塞子;电话窃听;(补鞋的)掌子

您好,很高兴能帮助您!

此为正解:

drum fingers - drum 是鼓的意思,作为动词就是打鼓过敲打,顾名思义drum fingers 就是用手指头打鼓(手指敲打桌子就像打鼓一样)或敲打的意思

tap a pencil - tap 也是敲打的意思,作为动词就是重复敲打的意思,顾名思义tap a pencil 就是用铅笔不断重复敲打的意思

一个是用手指打节拍,一个是用铅笔打节拍。tap是轻拍、轻扣的意思。这是我的理解。

又查了一下词典,tap确实有“敲节拍,打拍子”的意思
