Xbfeng

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。

# O# t% s7 B& s" G* D0 e; o& c: yL: 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。
# j9 e) \+ N# m: l0 T$ }# E
( T, _8 ~# d* U2 w) ]- ~M: She's not usually so nice. Normally all she does is complain. I think there's something fishy going on.
, ^- c5 x' W& N& ~/ m6 N+ b
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？
" o+ D, |, o, Q
M: Oh, fishy is fish with a "y". It means there is something suspicious going on.

5 Z( x1 ^' Y" \7 u# v+ k2 YL: 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？
% E1 |0 w7 Q1 `* V/ P' m
# [: t0 `& f' g8 xM: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.

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.
: J+ A; v, p" [
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.

2 ~& m8 Y  F( w6 tM: 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？

; B( q( a5 }; X* s7 u$ SM: 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！

2 Q) l4 y3 h# i( j# lM: You really have to be careful whenever you smell something fishy.

M: Yes, it means we were really fortunate.

# F+ Z2 P7 r! ^% \3 {L: 那每当我觉得运气好的时候，我都能用to luck out来表示吗？

# c% m) B* L8 Q# U2 s& b9 }5 [: T
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。
