一说到“直觉,许多人可能马上会想到instinct,比如 act on instinct 就是“凭直觉行动。除了instinct,英语中还有别的常用词来表达直觉。
用英语表达“直觉由查字典英语网小编整理,仅供参考。
直觉很难解释清楚,似乎是天生的一种本能,是发自内心的一种惯性。因此英文中还常用gut一词来表示直觉。Gut 这个词本身表示“内脏,在俚语中引申为“内心的感觉,比如:She felt in her gut that he was guilty. 她从心底知道他是有罪的。它又可用作形容词,在俚语中的意思就是“直觉的,比如:I have a gut feeling that the country needs the support of all its people if we are not to fail.我深深觉得,如果我们的国家不想失败的话需要得到全民的支持。
不过,若将have guts 理解成“有直觉就错了,gut的复数形式不再表示直觉。用在非正式场合中,have guts表示“有勇气做某事,例如:I don’t believe he has the guts! 我可不相信他有这么大勇气!
直觉还可以用hunch来表示,例如:I have a hunch that he didn’t really want to eat. 我有种直觉,他其实不想吃东西。Play one’s hunch 就是“跟着感觉走的意思,比如:He did not know what they were up to, and decided to play his hunch. 他不知道他们想干什么,于是决定凭直觉行事了。
还有一个词也可以用来表示“直觉,就是intuition,表示“the act or faculty of knowing or sensing without the use of rational processes; immediate cognition.直觉,比如:And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. 最重要的是要有勇气遵从你的内心和直觉。
