Xbfeng

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。

$ K5 H9 S9 j% {+ }3 pL: 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。

- G6 d! U, v; |5 n* H% L# G: J0 dM: She's not usually so nice. Normally all she does is complain. I think there's something fishy going on.
' U0 q0 \) m; `! A
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？

/ m- P! G! z3 U2 [( H# R  gM: 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？
7 H: [8 X- D& y% B; n; s# W7 X$ ]
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。
' C: ]: d4 A9 M& M" ]4 c1 e$ U
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.
6 H* o/ g5 A4 Q1 m
5 x6 l, }8 _" _& J# aM: That's right.

6 L* z1 x$ v/ n; gL: 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.
* g) g/ l+ n; r9 N0 z2 G. `& ^
0 D) B' |6 E' N. C9 t; P4 OL: 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！
