基本释义

[adjective] relating to deep inward feelings rather than to the intellect
[形容词] 与内心深处的感受有关,而非智力

深入解读

Visceral 一词源自拉丁语 viscus (内脏、身体内部器官),是英语单词 viscera (内脏、脏腑)的形容词形式,其基本含义为“内脏的、脏腑的”,比如中医里的藏象学说(The Theory of Visceral Manifestation)。

中文常用“肺腑之言”这个与内脏相关的成语表示发自内心的真诚的话,与之类似的是,英语里也常用 visceral 表示“出自内心的、发自肺腑的”,强调未经认真思考或理性判断,比如:

凡是俗气的东西,她都打心眼儿里讨厌。
She had a visceral dislike of all things tawdry.
他的表演重真情实感,而不是只讲技巧。
His approach to acting is visceral rather than intellectual.
