隱隱覺得惡事將臨或聽到惡耗的時候,一顆心直往下沉:這種感覺,英文怎么說呢? 英文稱為a / that sinking feeling。但西方人的這種‘下沉感覺’不在心里,似乎是在胃里,所以a / that sinking feeling之后常加in the stomach一詞.
I got that sinking feeling in my stomach when the doctor said he would like to talk with me about my wife's condition.聽見醫生說想跟我談內子的病況,我一顆心直往下沉。
I opened the letter marked “confidential” with a sinking feeling.我打開那封標明‘密件’的信,心里忐忑不安。
