M: She's not usually so nice. Normally all she does is complain. I think there's something fishy going on.

, k: @! o! a: h- W; cL: 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？

. a$ S# J9 t! W# @& p4 {) BM: 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？
. T% ?4 ^" |: T. X' v
M: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.

8 }/ m& \' }( f9 [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。

2 X! X9 @9 U! t$ r' b. zM: I can say something is fishy if I think someone is lying about something.

M: 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？

9 j, r9 W! \% T: uM: 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.
# t4 \4 o  @6 `! N/ y4 j2 Z
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！
