Connotation and overtone often refer to an idea, attitude or feeling which sb intends when they say or write sth, but which they do not express directly. The idea or attitude may be expressed by carefully choosing the words which are used. An undercurrent is usually a feeling or attitude which is felt very strongly and so can be sensed even when sb tries to hide it. * connotation和overtone常指想表达却没有直接表达出来的想法、态度或感觉，这种想法或态度也许通过谨慎措辞暗示出来。undercurrent通常是一种可以明显感受到的情绪或态度，就算极力隐藏他人也仍能感受得到。
