Michael在纽约上大学，他父母住在华盛顿，这个周末他请李华到他父母家作客。今天，李华会学到两个常用语：fishy和to luck out。

L: 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。

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

6 u* {* M& t/ T/ a7 U0 d/ ?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？

+ f8 U( z7 P, c/ RM: Oh, fishy is fish with a "y". It means there is something suspicious going on.

6 L+ V# ^9 K# U! B/ \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？
3 b$ U7 Q: b* L
M: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.

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。

L: Michael， 一个周末过得真快。好象刚到，现在又要搭飞机走了。

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

* O3 E+ O) M; X9 m* b) a/ u6 o8 UL: 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？
