DONNY 在北京學漢語，他的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎么說的詞，就會來請教他。今天是于苗要問的：直覺。

　　YM: DONNY, 你知道么？我要去參加“價格猜猜猜”節(jié)目啦!

　　DONNY: “價格猜猜猜”?! I know that show! You guess the price of a product, and if you get it right, you take the product home. Right?

　　YM: 沒錯！我直覺一向很準，我去一定會贏! 對了，直覺用美語怎么說??？

　　DONNY: You can say hunch. h-u-n-c-h, hunch.

　　YM: 那"我直覺一向很準"，就是"My hunch is always right." 對嗎？

　　DONNY: That's correct. Or you can use the phrase "gut feeling". It also means hunch.

　　YM: Gut feeling? Gut 腸子，Gut feeling腸子的感覺，就是直覺嘍!

　　DONNY: 沒錯! 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! 對了，于苗，Before you go on the show, we should practice. How much do you think my glasses cost?

　　YM: ??？你的眼鏡啊......你冷不妨叫我猜，我還真有些緊張。

　　DONNY: Don't worry. Take a wild guess!

　　YM: 什么叫 wild guess? 狂野的猜測？

　　DONNY: A wild guess means you have little evidence to support your guess.

　　YM: 哦，take a wild guess 就是隨便瞎猜! 那可不行，瞎猜贏不了比賽! 我的猜測一定要有根據(jù)，靠點譜兒，那又該怎么說呢？

　　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 就是根據(jù)經(jīng)驗、常識作出的猜測。

　　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: 別激動了! Tell me what you've learned today!

　　YM: 第一，直覺叫 hunch 或 gut feeling；

　　第二，瞎猜叫 take a wild guess；

　　第三，有根據(jù)的推測是 an educated guess!
