Xbfeng

" }0 ^( z9 P4 a  W8 f$ d+ _; R- OL: 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。

  w: \: t+ [, X$ R! AL: 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？
$ z. ?: j$ j, O4 G: |
M: 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？
' l2 H$ l$ i6 L- ~+ C
M: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.

$ v# R) ^7 `" k8 E, R. [2 S1 }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。

6 J) A& u# X) n. r  Z& GM: That's right.

/ e6 r) `1 I7 D5 O( h1 r# I: ^+ o: |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？

, {& J2 m1 R8 D% [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: 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！

0 Q( ]) t& {- C( f! T3 z. D0 BM: You really have to be careful whenever you smell something fishy.
