礼节美语:Intuition (音频文字) ZT
销售部的Steve, Faith和Katie开会讨论项目进展。Steve说，
Steve: Ok, so are we all agreed that we'll move forward on this project?
Faith: You know, I'm not so sure. I have a funny feeling about this.
Katie: You smell a rat?
F: Kind of. All I can say is that something is definitely not right. I just "feel" it.
Steve征求大家意见，决定项目可否进入下一阶段。可Faith说，她总觉得哪不对劲。I have a funny feeling about this. Funny在这里不是好笑，而是奇怪的意思。Katie问，you smell a rat? Smell a rat，也是觉得可疑、不对劲的意思。Faith承认，她也说不清楚，I just "feel" it. 就是一种感觉。
S: But Faith, do you really think we should base a decision on a feeling?
F: Well, feelings can be a warning. I believe very strongly in the power of intuition.
K: Do you mean that emotions are important, even in the business world?
F: Yes, I do. You know how people say, "I have a gut feeling?" What they really mean is that their intuition is giving them a signal.
Faith说自己特别相信直觉。I believe in the power of intuition. intuition is spelled i-n-t-u-i-t-i-o-n, intuition，直觉。很多人都说，"I have a gut feeling," gut, g-u-t, gut. gut feeling，也是直觉的意思。
S: But we should make choices based on data and information...not emotions!
K: I think perhaps both information and intuition are necessary.
F: I agree. Data is for the brain but intuition is for the heart.
S: But every decision we make in life is based on the available facts, no?
F: Not really. When we go on a date with someone, we usually make a decision about whether or not we like someone almost instantly?
Steve好象很理性，认为一切决定都应该以事实为依据。Faith却认为，不能一概而论，比如说，When we go on a date with someone, 跟别人约会，俩人是否会继续交往下去往往都是一上来就决定了。
K: That's true. I usually only have to meet a man for less than a minute before I know whether or not I want to date him.
S: And that's intuition?
F: Yes, and we use it every day. Intuition is very important in business. Remember your first job interview here?
S: (Chuckle) Yep. I was so nervous! I was sweating and stammering.
F: But my intuition told me you would make a good employee...and I was right!
Faith说，我们其实每天都会用到直觉。Steve第一次面试，紧张得浑身冒汗，说话也结结巴巴的，可Faith却说，直觉告诉她， My intuition told me...Steve一定会是好员工，结果一点没错。
