L: 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- r" k7 v) a' A1 r: F$ EM: She's not usually so nice. Normally all she does is complain. I think there's something fishy going on.

5 d/ J% c4 [# z+ \" hL: 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？
  C' f% `9 _( N; w. g
0 G% ]  S0 w0 X  U& L# iM: 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？
/ l% D8 P* C! a8 D) |. e
M: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.
# E3 f: x2 ~- i$ Y1 R4 E0 T
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。
" p$ G8 L  ]1 q: J9 L# o- y
& t/ E, G& q7 OM: I can say something is fishy if I think someone is lying about something.

/ l9 Y% D& ], A& u6 nL: 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.
' {2 [9 C1 Q$ a/ q, I. k
M: That's right.

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？
; q" _$ \( q7 B! n/ M( j: t
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！
