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.
