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。

3 U4 L2 ]* I5 R! E5 LM: She's not usually so nice. Normally all she does is complain. I think there's something fishy going on.

8 g, A: _# v  \% `# N) z- y$ zL: 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？
1 w0 ^+ t2 r) D
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？

M: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.

1 |, v9 [0 n% X: F" p( jL: 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。

" N( z+ F" e: l9 u8 n: FM: I can say something is fishy if I think someone is lying about something.
, m4 K: W' \1 ~+ s
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.

/ K" d; I6 N3 Z' w2 KM: That's right.

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.
5 Q! ~- \+ \6 F! F5 Y9 B0 O
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！

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？
