I've got that sinking feeling.

有些人的第六感特别强，每当搭飞机或上高楼大厦时便会有种不安的预感。 若你无故感到不安或不知所措，你可说：I've got that sinking feeling.（我有不安的感觉）。

类似表达

I've got that uneasy feeling. / I've bad feeling.（我有不好的感觉）

I have a bad vibe.（我有个不好的颤抖）。

诺尔：对，我也觉得奇怪。




隐隐觉得恶事将临或听到恶耗的时候，一颗心直往下沉：这种感觉，英文怎么说呢？ 英文称为a / that sinking feeling。但西方人的这种‘下沉感觉’不在心里，似乎是在胃里，所以a / that sinking feeling之后常加in the stomach一词.

I got that sinking feeling in my stomach when the doctor said he would like to talk with me about my wife's condition.听见医生说想跟我谈内子的病况，我一颗心直往下沉。

I opened the letter marked “confidential” with a sinking feeling.我打开那封标明‘密件’的信，心里忐忑不安。




除了胃部可感吉凶，西方人据说连肠子都可以，例如：When the doctor beckoned me into his office, I had a feeling in my guts（或a gut feeling) that there was something seriously wrong with my wife.（医生用手势招呼我进他的办公室时，我直觉上感到妻子身体一定有严重问题）。A gut feeling / instinct. 就是‘无法解释的直觉’。

西方人甚至连骨头都对吉凶有感应。To know / feel in one's bones. 也是说‘有一种无法解释的直觉’，例如：I feel it in my bones that something disastrous is going to happen.（我直觉上感到大难将临）。

‘直觉’或‘预感’，英文还可叫hunch，即sixth sense（第六感），例如：I had a hunch.（或My sixth sense told me) that an earthquake would soon hit Tokyo.（我预感东京快将地震）。
