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

DONNY: “價(jià)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(cuò)!我直覺一向很準(zhǔn)，我去一定會(huì)贏! 對(duì)了，直覺用美語(yǔ)怎么說啊?

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

YM: 那“我直覺一向很準(zhǔn)”，就是"My hunch is always right." 對(duì)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(cuò)! 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(duì)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(cè)?

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(cè)一定要有根據(jù)，靠點(diǎn)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(yàn)、常識(shí)作出的猜測(cè)。

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(dòng)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(cè)是 an educated guess!
