- L0 Y3 F- P) |
M: She's not usually so nice. Normally all she does is complain. I think there's something fishy going on.

8 S: V1 H( ~* J) S7 ^" IL: 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？

, a6 D( |2 ?, V' p! ^$ T" Q+ rM: 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？
, w  w& n# J3 ^1 t; s
M: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.
) e! k% L3 S7 H+ S
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: 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.

M: That's right.

  z) R3 d, T  C5 d( \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？

6 B3 f7 ?% u! KM: 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.

& }* G8 e" B) U3 LL: 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！

5 C+ ~% R1 A. w, c5 W' WM: You really have to be careful whenever you smell something fishy.
