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。

+ e8 \2 H2 P' a, J& AM: She's not usually so nice. Normally all she does is complain. I think there's something fishy going on.

0 z* r# \8 V: b6 @( _6 pL: 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？
4 K) x& j0 `, V& U& B
M: 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？
* {2 E8 w) K5 I8 y7 W
% x4 {  o8 {. @! R" F; w. `0 X5 hM: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.
- R# t* W  Z8 U9 B/ l6 t
$ B5 v4 y) D$ x7 xL: 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。

' W/ h$ U, v5 x- V* w5 ZM: I can say something is fishy if I think someone is lying about something.

L: 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.
6 _  d) c  W$ r" l. L' h
M: That's right.

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？
5 b6 p; c! m7 T+ N+ }/ |
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.
: B) i4 p2 a- a7 Q: G) m5 {2 z
2 b' f; L7 y! 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！

4 T% X* b1 U# N; ]M: You really have to be careful whenever you smell something fishy.

L: Michael， 一个周末过得真快。好象刚到，现在又要搭飞机走了。

- Q/ w! z' C. e  D6 @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？
( _4 d1 {3 r0 ^0 O9 X
& k: U/ h$ |' iM: Yes, it means we were really fortunate.

L: 那每当我觉得运气好的时候，我都能用to luck out来表示吗？

M: 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.

L: 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。

) M$ t  w4 L. j$ M( {. f; mM: Hold on a second, I think they just called my name. I hope nothing's wrong.
