) Z" W  {, [! g8 uL: 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？

M: 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？
" Y! T# b: |. k5 {
' ?4 @9 `. @4 g4 kM: 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: 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？

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！
