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。

# ~: ~5 B; T' o. zL: 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。

! I' s8 S8 e4 oM: She's not usually so nice. Normally all she does is complain. I think there's something fishy going on.
  j, H: Q6 s( y- X" R1 i/ n7 o3 \& Q
" s7 N" @! d2 TL: 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？

6 l+ K5 i5 l' @& p' CM: 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？
# N( P& w1 M* [6 |8 o7 ]2 Z
M: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.
% p% j0 ]2 Q$ b, \
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。

M: I can say something is fishy if I think someone is lying about something.
$ Z% V1 p" X; B5 x, ]# n4 ~. F

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 j# z& y7 d" T: e6 J. H7 mM: 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.

L: 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！

& {) b9 T. u/ |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。

" z1 K/ m0 _( R  tM: Look, half of the flights are canceled because of the snow, but ours is still on time. We really lucked out.

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.

9 A" k/ }9 X, w+ s( N$ }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。

7 ^" v0 E+ E6 a+ w1 e6 @! h- zM: No, in fact I lucked out again. I dropped my wallet at the ticket counter. They just wanted to return it to me.
