拨弄 (bō nòng) — tripoter, jouer avec (manipulation physique); susciter, provoquer (des ennuis, des émotions, etc.)

Définition

拨弄 covers two senses: physically fiddling with something small (a guitar string, one's hair), and figuratively stirring up trouble or emotions. The second sense (e.g. 拨弄是非) is what makes it distinct from plain 弄.
