* g. N0 A2 Q" l# J8 R0 uM: 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？

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: 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.

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？

- s% Z+ w3 c) Z7 L+ W' `$ F* U% }2 iM: Yes, it means we were really fortunate.

L: 那每当我觉得运气好的时候，我都能用to luck out来表示吗？

L: 上星期的考试，我可没有考好。你没怎么念书倒是都能答出考题， you really lucked out on that test. 我可没有这种运气。我要不念书就 考不好。

& f- Y" W# q& E% _M: Hold on a second, I think they just called my name. I hope nothing's wrong.

( n* ?& e8 B6 ~8 QL: 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.
