学地道英语报读吉米老师听力口语特训班，请加吉米老师微信语，他的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教他。今天是于苗要问的：直觉。YM: DONNY, 你知道么？我要去参加“价格猜猜猜”节目啦!DONNY: “价格猜猜猜”?! I know that show! You guess the price of a product, and if you get it right, you take the product home. Right?YM: 没错！我直觉一向很准，我去一定会赢! 对了，直觉用美语怎么说啊？DONNY: You can say hunch. h-u-n-c-h, hunch.YM: 那"我直觉一向很准"，就是"My hunch is always right." 对吗？DONNY: That's correct. Or you can use the phrase "gut feeling". It also means hunch.YM: Gut feeling? Gut 肠子，Gut feeling肠子的感觉，就是直觉喽!DONNY: 没错! For example, I have a gut feeling that I'm gonna fail my mid-term exam.YM: Haha, but I have a hunch that you're gonna pass!DONNY: Then I hope your hunch is right! 对了，于苗，Before you go on the show, we should practice. How much do you think my glasses cost?YM: 啊？你的眼镜啊......你冷不妨叫我猜，我还真有些紧张。DONNY: Don't worry. Take a wild guess!YM: 什么叫 wild guess? 狂野的猜测？DONNY: A wild guess means you have little evidence to support your guess.YM: 哦，take a wild guess 就是随便瞎猜! 那可不行，瞎猜赢不了比赛! 我的猜测一定要有根据，靠点谱儿，那又该怎么说呢？DONNY: That would be an educated guess. “Educated” is spelled e-d-u-c-a-t-e-d.YM: educate 是教育，an educated guess 就是根据经验、常识作出的猜测。DONNY: That's Right!YM: Hmm, well, I am guessing your glasses are worth 25 dollars!DONNY: Wow... Yumiao, you're really good at this! The correct answer is 26 dollars!YM: Yeah! I won! I won!DONNY: 别激动了! Tell me what you've learned today!YM: 第一，直觉叫 hunch 或 gut feeling；第二，瞎猜叫 take a wild guess；第三，有根据的推测是 an educated guess!
