Question

inkling n.暗示；略知 (1) 我会试着给你一些提示。(2) 我朋友暗示他有意离开这家公司。(3) 他对困难略有所知。(4) 我略知他打算做什么。 Inkling can also mean a sly suggestion or faint implication. If someone drops a hint you're not wanted they've given you an inkling you're not wanted. The word comes from the medieval English word inclen, which suitably enough means "to utter in an undertone." In other words, what's really being said is in between the lines of what's actually being said on the surface. By now you've probably got the inkling that inklings can be sneaky things.
