Xbfeng

Michael在纽约上大学，他父母住在华盛顿，这个周末他请李华到他父母家作客。今天，李华会学到两个常用语：fishy和to luck out。

# h2 E" d3 U4 }9 vL: 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。
  Y# z1 G! ^+ y) F$ V: {5 k
M: She's not usually so nice. Normally all she does is complain. I think there's something fishy going on.
0 o5 C$ y7 y; S! X# l. ]
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？

M: Oh, fishy is fish with a "y". It means there is something suspicious going on.

; c( {* f; z: |# D1 EL: 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？

3 f9 a( S  Z/ J2 ^. F. E/ fM: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.

% B8 {/ Z/ R, yL: 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。

1 v: q! s2 Q$ k6 |' UM: I can say something is fishy if I think someone is lying about something.

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？
# g3 Z. T8 j3 H
9 i4 Z: T! N& b9 eM: 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.
6 A) |8 i- R7 X) f! p$ v
; k6 v- h+ c$ k  g' ?0 Z7 AL: 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！
