* L- F) D5 J$ B* b
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: 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？

5 h! O. R9 U! l5 G6 qM: 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 [0 [( \# Z5 o. A$ z
! M9 ]8 B1 L2 H! [- rM: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.
+ u  s# d7 r4 \
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。
2 K/ P$ d6 g! `1 O! }+ L8 d5 \
- l, H: J& ?* i% A9 G% K" dM: I can say something is fishy if I think someone is lying about something.

0 Q: \3 }+ d0 r9 e2 y% o. U: }. eL: 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.

( y5 ]) X# N- B  q2 K: m" hM: That's right.
" _% M/ F1 E% q/ L: F7 x
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？
0 s2 Q9 y- r- D9 V& F9 b& g
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.

' {1 J3 d. ?( S5 O( d. }4 SL: 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！
) d  S, l4 M0 F
' x2 ^6 W  \/ S/ V, cM: You really have to be careful whenever you smell something fishy.

3 W+ [) N" R6 y* g! ^L: Michael， 一个周末过得真快。好象刚到，现在又要搭飞机走了。
; _$ N$ B6 c' y7 s# }
M: Look, half of the flights are canceled because of the snow, but ours is still on time. We really lucked out.
8 I1 ~7 \+ u' q8 B
! [! R8 W3 f3 U. l9 KL: 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？

9 M3 B2 [! A6 C, o7 a7 jM: Yes, it means we were really fortunate.

L: 那每当我觉得运气好的时候，我都能用to luck out来表示吗？

M: Yes, for example, I can say I really lucked out on that test last week. I didn't study very much for it, but I still knew all the answers on the test.

0 p( b9 q. n- N4 TL: 上星期的考试，我可没有考好。你没怎么念书倒是都能答出考题， you really lucked out on that test. 我可没有这种运气。我要不念书就 考不好。
9 q! s( D% o# j2 C

L: 怎么回事，Michael, 票子没有问题吧？
  X$ n# w* m1 ]$ Z+ F( L
M: No, in fact I lucked out again. I dropped my wallet at the ticket counter. They just wanted to return it to me.
9 ~, X# i# Z& ^$ t& V( P$ `
L: 哟，你钱包掉了还不知道，柜台捡到了还主动还给你。你哪 来那么好的运气呐！You really lucked out this time! 钱包里有多少钱 哪？
