  c( |1 }2 x7 D7 F( Q7 `M: She's not usually so nice. Normally all she does is complain. I think there's something fishy going on.
4 K$ q9 s; T/ M- V, r+ |
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？
$ R* V5 H0 c& r0 a: S( S+ B
7 B( q, Q9 i0 S9 J2 G+ oM: Oh, fishy is fish with a "y". It means there is something suspicious going on.

L: 你的意思是，你妹妹表现得那么好，和平时不一样，你觉得有点 可疑。为什么呢？

% u* y( `1 f' K& YM: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.
" k) K2 a$ I2 d3 j. m4 ]( [
# O; M  w. p7 S  K$ i' ~4 J! qL: 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。

4 [8 i  u5 K& U6 fM: I can say something is fishy if I think someone is lying about something.
# V% k# @; q  z
% G! d3 C# Q* p, bL: 这我就清楚了，你要是认为某个人在骗你，你就可以说：It seems fishy.
% T3 d9 t3 Y2 o+ K0 Q5 D# z: J9 a
M: That's right.

% G; G, X& Y6 J; _L: 比方说，我那天接到一个旅行社的电话，说我得了一个奖。他说我可 以到四个地方去旅行一个星期只要二百美元，但是要我马上付这笔 钱。我当时就觉得可疑，I thought something was fishy, 对不对？

& z' |# }# p& k$ S2 S9 a+ ?M: You're absolutely right. Let me tell you something, the travel company probably doesn't even exist. After you pay them, you won't be able to find them anymore.

+ x7 N: d5 R5 r2 D9 \  bL: 哟，幸亏我没上当。原来是骗局，等我付了钱，他们就消失了！ 这可太气人了！

, O- d; [$ D$ p2 PM: You really have to be careful whenever you smell something fishy.

" y+ R/ q! A0 y0 D% G$ V0 m
L: 噢，因为下雪，所以一半的航班都被取消了，我们的却还按时飞。 真是运气。你刚才说的lucked out大概就是运气的意思吧？

M: Yes, it means we were really fortunate.
2 ?; l5 a4 z  J! h# Z+ g& g6 n
L: 那每当我觉得运气好的时候，我都能用to luck out来表示吗？

$ A+ s( y  z8 k' `# PM: Yes, for example, I can say I really lucked out on that test last week. I didn't study very much for it, but I still knew all the answers on the test.

" L0 t8 U  C& w$ wL: 上星期的考试，我可没有考好。你没怎么念书倒是都能答出考题， you really lucked out on that test. 我可没有这种运气。我要不念书就 考不好。

L: 怎么回事，Michael, 票子没有问题吧？
( x% u9 H* B% j$ }4 d
M: No, in fact I lucked out again. I dropped my wallet at the ticket counter. They just wanted to return it to me.
