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。

' ~* M) F1 ^" ^8 T/ Z$ s. qL: 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。

6 d7 D7 S4 G/ I: CM: 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？

+ q2 a6 ]! k/ L  ^8 ~M: Oh, fishy is fish with a "y". It means there is something suspicious going on.
# J6 h& h& f2 c5 H% q3 H+ W- i
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？

; D4 E& z1 M3 g- q9 uM: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.

1 k" f3 {% e5 F, }  j. @/ [0 o7 `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。
4 H# j  \, H" _  N7 c
9 A* `+ C; A4 y+ OM: I can say something is fishy if I think someone is lying about something.

, {2 b9 v, j$ p: N: lL: 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.

5 {% Q6 p7 I/ h, T8 x' BM: 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？
# _5 E0 X) n# }" ?1 _
, e# C( U$ d. l1 oM: 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.

0 b6 E& A" y" ?% }, eL: 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！
