) b! l0 N' r8 h) T, g* BL: 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？

8 x# K9 W. R  n, M& ^7 _% vM: 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$ |- q. C: z7 I' |' Y
M: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.
1 U( q1 i8 l/ Y
: o7 l, w! H- gL: 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.

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: 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？

M: Yes, it means we were really fortunate.

- J  l" l- ]  p3 \  W; ZL: 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 |# [5 ]1 O! h+ O" t8 {L: 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。

M: Not much, only ten bucks! Come on Li Hua, let's board the plane.
