L: Michael, 谢谢你请我到你家来过周末。有机会和一个美国家庭一 起过周末对我来说是很有意义的。你的爸爸妈妈人真好，我也很 喜欢你的妹妹。

M: She's not usually so nice. Normally all she does is complain. I think there's something fishy going on.

L: 噢，你说她平时没有象这两天讨人喜欢呀？她老是爱抱怨，这我 倒是看不出来。你说，there's something fishy going on, 那是什么 意思呀？Fish不是鱼吗？
  Z9 T( K7 u. A- b! b& x' Y
M: Oh, fishy is fish with a "y". It means there is something suspicious going on.

( J7 X/ ?" F  J* M; D! P, k4 JM: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.

- L& z6 I$ x8 f6 @L: 对，有些孩子是这样的。当他们想问家长要什么的时候就会表现 得出奇的好。要求满足了， 一切又照常了。
