! L1 r+ V2 A5 Z, cL: 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.

, T8 z; R4 d# VL: 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.
  r. @, q- ^2 `% t( _9 O
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？
' x5 E: L% a0 ~" U
- X( }! R; P$ UM: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.
% L( w$ M# x3 R% A: q
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。
5 f/ _- E$ O" C  B1 K
M: 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.
! {" b, O9 ]6 x5 P
M: That's right.

! p: P' w% V7 bL: 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？
/ b; t( K8 M/ T* c
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.

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！

; S% c8 h0 j5 R- YM: Look, half of the flights are canceled because of the snow, but ours is still on time. We really lucked out.
( Y8 |3 H: U9 e# K: V7 r/ v
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？
