地道英语：“直觉”怎么说？

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!
