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。

9 @8 ?/ h6 E0 y7 H4 {* A) nL: 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.

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？
! }) s* c, \8 `+ ~- S
* ~* O7 d' Q) B$ G6 _- U- w5 tM: 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？
) a, j3 Y& i/ R" c" ?
M: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.

$ v. k3 i! ~- L3 a! d9 S6 p  ^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。

$ c: p1 C1 M! zM: I can say something is fishy if I think someone is lying about something.

: S1 F: @" V0 g6 y" jL: 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.

M: That's right.

0 B- e& P7 \8 GL: 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？

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.

" O6 a  T4 }- v5 z9 ]% q9 ~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！

M: You really have to be careful whenever you smell something fishy.
