質問: gesticulate wildly~ 以下の英文について教えてください。 under the pretext of being a surgeon he gained entry to the hospital. when interviewed by the director, he had to fabricate a tale of his medical experience, but he was so adroit at lying that he got away with it. 【it was not until the phony "doctor" began to gesticulate wildly with his scalpel, that a vigilant nurse was able to detect the fraud.】 in the annals of medical history there have been a number of such cases. *【it was not until the phony "doctor" began to gesticulate wildly with his scalpel, that a vigilant nurse was able to detect the fraud.】 のところがわかりません。 訳は→用心深い看護師は偽の“医者”が、メスで激しい身ぶり手ぶりを交え始めるまで詐欺を発見することができなかった、ですか? 意味がよくわかりません。 gesticulate wildlyは”激しい身ぶり手ぶりを交える”という意味だと思うのですが gesticulate wildly with his scalpelというのはどういう意味なのでしょうか? なぜそれによって詐欺を発見できたのでしょうか? よろしくお願いします。
回答: 「胡散臭いその"医者"がメスを片手に大袈裟なジェスチャーをし始めるまで、注意深い看護師が彼のペテンを見破ることはなかった。」 gesticulate wildly with is scalpel → メスを片手に大袈裟なジェスチャーをする でよいと思います。
