Thoughts or guesses about what might happen or about something that is not known for sure. It can also refer to risky financial activities where you try to make a profit from uncertain situations.

用法与细微差别

Used in both everyday conversation (guessing about events) and finance (risky trading). Often plural when talking about many guesses: "speculations about", "speculations that". Not the same as "rumors" (rumors = unconfirmed news; speculations = guesses or ideas).
