M: She's not usually so nice. Normally all she does is complain. I think there's something fishy going on.

) x! F3 h  |# J, Y% `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？
4 n0 |  }& v7 p7 @8 z; k+ Y
M: Oh, fishy is fish with a "y". It means there is something suspicious going on.

5 u4 O2 _/ u7 T2 ML: 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？

* o- q! F% N5 HM: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.
( l: o4 `" f9 d  X* n# }
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。

3 |; \; m8 j1 }2 P2 \7 dL: 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？
4 ~5 F7 s! Q# V1 o9 [
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！

M: You really have to be careful whenever you smell something fishy.
