' }6 O4 }$ \# r8 T+ y5 \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？
( y9 [# r/ F% o8 J. f& p
7 ^5 I5 u/ R+ j3 pM: Oh, fishy is fish with a "y". It means there is something suspicious going on.

# y+ P% \8 _# j" k4 O  a* [' A; nL: 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？

+ f. h% E( S) f0 R" aM: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.

  }6 C  W  Z7 y( e) UL: 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。

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.

3 |; Y3 K( w1 q6 P: \& @9 DM: 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？

8 Q6 l: ~- ]0 ~5 D# WM: 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！
