M: She's not usually so nice. Normally all she does is complain. I think there's something fishy going on.
: X8 |; o8 V! S( R1 g
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？

* @. V' E: R+ ?  T5 \* ]' gM: 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？
1 b0 t' {( X/ Q4 k( J; G! i
  K+ h1 `2 F. w7 ~6 z7 CM: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.
' U* v7 N- [/ h1 Z6 \
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。
