不經推理的直接知道
兩個意思是同一個東西的兩種角度：一個是「你有這種本事」，一個是「這種本事這次給了你什麼」。

One way to picture it: knowing something by looking straight at it in one glance, without stopping to work it out step by step — the answer arrives before the reasons do.
比較像：你一眼看過去，答案就已經在那裡了，而你還說不出理由。不是推理、不是查資料、不是把事實排開來比對，是那種「我就…更多收起
比較像：你一眼看過去，答案就已經在那裡了，而你還說不出理由。不是推理、不是查資料、不是把事實排開來比對，是那種「我就是覺得不對勁」的直接感覺。intuition 有趣的地方在於它同時包含兩件事——那份感覺本身，和感覺告訴你的內容；英文用同一個字裝這兩層，中文都翻成「直覺」，但用起來一個是能力、一個是那個念頭。From the word’s history
From Latin intueor ('to look at, gaze upon, consider'), from in- ('on, at') + tueor ('to look, watch'): the sense of knowing by direct looking rather than by reasoning through steps.
拉丁文 intueor 是「注視、看著」，由 in-（朝向）+ tueor（看、守望）組成。所以 intuition 骨子裡是一個「看」的字——用眼睛直接看見，而不是一步步算出來。這解釋了為什麼直覺總是來得那麼快：在這個比喻裡，你不是在推導，你只是在看。

- The native speaker's grammatical competence is reflected in two types of intuition which speakers have about their native language(s) — (i) intuitions about sentence well-formedness, and (ii) intuitions about sentence structure. The word intuition is used here in a technical sense which has become standardised in Linguistics: by saying that a native speaker has intuitions about the well-formedness and structure of sentences, all we are saying is that he has the ability to make judgments about whether a given sentence is well-formed or not, and about whether it has a particular structure or not.
