/ˌpriːməˈnɪʃən/
I had a premonition that something was wrong.
我有种预感,觉得哪里不对劲。
She was seized by a sudden premonition that the plan would fail, though she couldn’t explain why.
她突然被一种强烈的预感攫住,觉得计划会失败,尽管她说不出原因。
源自拉丁语 praemonitio,由 *prae-*(“在前、预先”)+ monere(“提醒、警告”)构成,字面意思是“预先的提醒/警告”。因此常带有“提前警示”的色彩,尤其用于不祥的预感。
