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。

( X. w# Y/ S% r2 l4 G- ]( b: L7 ML: 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？

" U! z, ^1 o: ?' D! dM: 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？
. J8 _* W# \/ y: V
M: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.
( O; P+ s( R; B3 f
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。

M: I can say something is fishy if I think someone is lying about something.
: L/ A  H& M! h( F
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.

; n. C; \- ]: g( i

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！
