feeling

Compared meaning: the sense of touch (noun).

比较义项：触觉（名词）。

• feeling 本词

  Refers to physical sensation in one body part, often about having or losing it (e.g. after cold, injury or numbness), rather than naming the general sense; feeling far more often means an emotion, which is not compared here.

  指身体某一部位是否有知觉，常用来说明因受伤、寒冷等而失去或恢复知觉，而不是泛指触觉这种感官本身；feeling 更常见的意思是“情绪、感觉”，这里不作比较。

  After the frostbite, she had almost no feeling left in her fingers.

  冻伤之后，她的手指几乎失去了知觉。

• touch

  The standard name for the sense used to perceive contact, texture and pressure through the skin; used generally, as in 'the sense of touch', not tied to a single body part or to gain/loss of sensation.

  指通过皮肤感知接触、质地和压力的感官，是“触觉”这一感官的标准说法，常用于“the sense of touch”这类表达，不特指某个身体部位知觉的有无。

  Touch is one of the five senses that help us understand the world.

  触觉是帮助我们认识世界的五种感官之一。

Touch and feeling can both mean the sense used to detect contact. Touch is the standard name for this sense. Feeling usually means sensation in one body part, like numbness after cold or injury. Feeling more often means an emotion; that is not compared here.

这两个词都可以表示“触觉”，但用法不同：touch 是五种感官之一的标准说法，常用于“the sense of touch”这类固定搭配；feeling 更常指身体某一部位是否有知觉（如受伤、冻伤后失去知觉），而不是泛指触觉这种感官本身。此外，feeling 更常见的意思是“情绪、感觉”，这里不比较该义项。

Compared meaning: an idea or view that something is true (noun).

  Her strong belief in hard work inspired her whole team.

  她对努力工作的坚定信念激励了整个团队。

• feeling 本词

  The vaguest and most instinctive; an unexplained impression or hunch rather than a reasoned view, often about something being wrong or about to happen.

  四个词中最模糊、最凭直觉的一个，指一种说不清缘由的印象或预感，而不是经过思考得出的看法，常用来表达“隐隐觉得不对劲”之类的直觉。

  I had a strange feeling that something was wrong.

  我有一种奇怪的感觉，觉得有什么地方不对劲。

• notion

  A general, sometimes vague or fanciful idea, often introduced only to be questioned, rejected, or dismissed by the speaker.

  指一种笼统、有时含糊甚至有些异想天开的想法，常用于引出后文要质疑、反驳或否定的观点。

• opinion

  A personal judgment or view on a debatable matter, openly held and stated, expected to be compared or shared with other people's views.

  指对有争议之事所持的个人判断或看法，通常会公开表达出来，并期待与他人的看法进行比较或交流。

  Everyone in the meeting shared their opinion about the project.

  会议上每个人都分享了自己对这个项目的看法。

Belief, feeling, notion, and opinion all mean an idea that something is true. Belief is the strongest, a firmly held conviction. Feeling is the vaguest, an instinctive impression. Notion is a vague idea, often introduced to be questioned. Opinion is a personal, openly stated judgment.

这四个词都可以表示“想法”或“看法”，但语气强弱和形成方式不同：belief 语气最强，指坚定的信念；feeling 最模糊，凭直觉而非理性；notion 常用于提出一个随后要被质疑或否定的笼统想法；opinion 则是对有争议之事公开表达的个人判断。使用时要注意强度和搭配上的差别，不要随意互换。
