finger

Compared meaning: to touch with the hand (verb).

比较义项：用手或手指触摸（动词）。

• feel

  General, very common verb for touching something with the hand or body to sense its texture, temperature, or shape; neutral in tone.

  泛指用手或身体触摸某物以感受其质地、温度或形状，是中性、非常常用的说法。

  I felt the radiator to see if the heating was working.

  我摸了摸暖气片，看看暖气有没有开。

• finger 本词

  Means to touch or handle something specifically with the fingers, often repeatedly or nervously; suggests fiddling or curious, sometimes improper, contact; less common and slightly informal.

  特指专门用手指触摸或摆弄某物，常带有反复摆弄、紧张或好奇甚至不当触碰的意味，用法较少见，语气也更随意。

  He nervously fingered his tie while waiting to be called in.

  他一边紧张地摆弄着领带，一边等着被叫进去。

Feel and finger can both mean to touch with the hand. Feel is general, used to sense texture or shape. Finger means to touch with the fingers, often repeatedly or nervously. This does not compare feel meaning 'to sense', or finger as a noun.

这两个词在“用手触摸”这个动作上意思相近，但feel泛指用手或身体触摸以感受某物的质地、温度或形状，是中性、常用的说法；finger则专指用手指去触碰或摆弄，常带有反复摆弄、好奇甚至不当触碰的意味，用法较少见也更随意。这里不比较feel表示“感觉、认为”等其他义项，也不比较finger作名词“手指”的义项。
