地道美语怎么说 第39课:直觉
DONNY 在北京学汉语，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!
