8 k! E$ U: b- B# c
  V# Z7 _2 d0 I% D; BM: 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.

M: Look, half of the flights are canceled because of the snow, but ours is still on time. We really lucked out.

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: Hold on a second, I think they just called my name. I hope nothing's wrong.

9 n! |. \" B& A" tL: 对，我也听到他们叫你的名字呢，快去看看，有什么问题。

L: 怎么回事，Michael, 票子没有问题吧？

M: No, in fact I lucked out again. I dropped my wallet at the ticket counter. They just wanted to return it to me.

L: 哟，你钱包掉了还不知道，柜台捡到了还主动还给你。你哪 来那么好的运气呐！You really lucked out this time! 钱包里有多少钱 哪？

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

李华今天学到了两个常用语，一个是：fishy，意思是怀疑对方不老实，有花招；另一个是：to luck out，这是指没有料到的运气。 这里[流行美语]就学习到这里。我们下次再见。
