西 方 的 驼 子 据 说 和 魔 鬼 有 特 殊 关 系 ， 能 够 未 卜 先 知 。 所 以 英 文 hunch这 个 字 ， 既 可 以 解 作 背 上 的 隆 肉 ， 也 可 以 解 作 预 感 、 直 觉 。 英 文 成 语 have/get a hunch(背 上 有 一 块 隆 肉 )， 就 是 「有 一 种 预 感 或 直 觉 」的 意 思 ， 例 如 ︰
I have a hunch that the plan will not work
(我 直 觉 的 认 为 这 计 画 不 会 成 功 )。
The manager had a hunch that something was to pay.
经理感到事情有些不妙。
和 have/get a hunch同 出 一 源 的 另 一 个 成 语 是 play one's hunch， 意 思 即 凭 预 感 或 直 觉 办 事 ， 例 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 )。
Q:Let's sell our stocks now.(咱們現在賣掉股票吧。)
A:Why? They keep going up.(為什麼？它們還會持續上漲呢。)
Q:I have a feeling they're about to go down a few days later.
(我有預感數日後它們將會下跌。)
I have a feeling/hunch that my girl friend is leaving me; she's been quite cold to me recently.
我有預感女友即將離我而去；因為她最近對我頗為冷淡。
