mother wit 天生的智慧;常識。

mother-in-law

They are rougher in manner and more difficult to polish ; but they are full of shrewdness and mother wit , and possessed of great strength of character , of which , indeed , their remarkable guttural speech is but a type 他們行為粗俗,很難教誨,但是精明強干,富有智慧,擁有堅強性格,這一點從他們善于用喉嚨深處發聲可見一斑。

How much more profitable for the independent mind , after the mere rudiments of education , to range through a library at random , taking down books as the mother wit suggests 受過初步的基礎教育之后,對于愿意獨立思考的人來說,在圖書館里信手取下一本書來,根據個人的天賦隨意涉獵,這該是最大的好處了

Ingenuity in varying tactics depends on mother wit 運用之妙,存乎一心。

What a fella needs is mother wit and a horse hair 只要一點點智慧和一根馬鬃就行
