, I. {4 b; g2 _6 Z* q# PM: She's not usually so nice. Normally all she does is complain. I think there's something fishy going on.
0 ~% N4 B; J0 n: E
7 q" b9 K$ J% I3 aL: 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？
' _  d/ w  }. f2 u
M: Oh, fishy is fish with a "y". It means there is something suspicious going on.

% b3 ]  h& O0 x1 j/ W3 KL: 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？

M: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.
2 E  U1 `8 D( Q  m* w
# y/ u- E2 T& D5 \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.
* {  ~+ e4 g- j. ?4 }
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.

( f/ y" \' b, 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？

9 Y* N, Q6 K0 I/ O! l$ o- YM: 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.
/ z* ]1 V3 @$ J7 E
5 B5 K/ w* A/ }( y# I4 p7 r% f4 `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！

; Y* G* ^  d7 X; b0 |6 AL: 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？

  p5 L8 n2 {, }7 P/ q- JM: Yes, it means we were really fortunate.
