- 1疑慮、不安（心裡覺得不對勁）
A misgiving is a quiet bad feeling about what might happen, or about whether something is right — doubt mixed with a little fear, not panic and not a proven fact. You have misgivings before you sign, before you get in the car, before you trust a plan. The feeling sits in the body as : something in you says no, even if you cannot yet prove why.
A misgiving misgiving is a quiet bad feeling是一種隱隱不安的感覺 about what might happen對可能發生的事，or about whether something is right或某件事是否恰當——doubt mixed with a little fear是懷疑摻著一點點害怕，not panic and not a proven fact不是恐慌，也不是已經證實的事實。 You你 have misgivings感到 misgivings before you sign在簽字前、before you get in the car上車前、before you trust a plan相信一個計畫前。 The feeling sits in the body as unease這種感覺以不安的形式留在身體裡：something in you says no你心裡有個聲音說不行，even if you cannot yet prove why即使你還沒辦法證明為什麼。
Though actually, English speakers use the plural most of the time: I have misgivings, not I have a misgiving, unless they mean one clear doubt. It is a little formal; in chat people say I'm not sure or I've got a bad feeling.
Though actually不過其實，English speakers use the plural most of the time英語使用者大多數時候用複數：I have misgivings I have misgivings，not I have a misgiving而不是 I have a misgiving，unless they mean one clear doubt除非他們指的是一個明確的疑慮。 It它 is a little formal是有點正式的字；in chat在聊天時 people say人們會說 I'm not sure or I've got a bad feeling I'm not sure 或 I've got a bad feeling。
It is not the same as guilt after the act. Misgivings come before, or while you are still choosing.
It它 is not the same as跟…不一樣 guilt after the act事後的罪惡感。 Misgivings misgivings come before出現在事情發生之前，or while you are still choosing或是你還在選擇的時候。
