% Z' ]; L9 u4 L$ ?7 f) ?M: She's not usually so nice. Normally all she does is complain. I think there's something fishy going on.

- M# a. p  e" K: H1 @6 t9 C- mL: 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？

M: Oh, fishy is fish with a "y". It means there is something suspicious going on.
1 @7 Q: r7 z, ?' y2 ?$ d6 h
2 a' i0 Q9 M8 E! d# b* wL: 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.
7 n! J" _6 y! _, D$ J
8 _( b' j/ G& L- N9 eL: 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。

5 t5 c+ r, a! I2 x( E: g# `
* g1 t* f. L; wM: 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？
3 T. {2 l$ J- M0 G$ `
9 _: H# A# D' e6 \8 |5 u- {) tM: 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！
