( Q- Z, ^' R+ l- p" D
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。

/ s& ?6 r1 Y5 fM: She's not usually so nice. Normally all she does is complain. I think there's something fishy going on.
# W& n* W7 g2 b  ?
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？
9 @# r; m: M" L6 a, D' R
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？

1 m9 I6 T9 C1 z- m8 UM: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.
! S/ s* T- o- o# O1 q; U
- J& v) G* d7 k- z! h- {; CL: 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。

5 E8 U% N: {" _0 _M: I can say something is fishy if I think someone is lying about something.

- K- b% q& }9 e! w( IL: 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.
& f; ?) {. n& L7 G7 `
M: That's right.

3 V. v- d7 e  m8 \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.

3 t7 Q# r/ r5 H; ~6 vL: 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！
2 [4 i# P- W+ ?8 }8 t" ^
" j$ o' A/ Q  E7 o$ u" w- wM: You really have to be careful whenever you smell something fishy.

L: Michael， 一个周末过得真快。好象刚到，现在又要搭飞机走了。

M: Look, half of the flights are canceled because of the snow, but ours is still on time. We really lucked out.

% U$ O: W. Y: ^1 Y" PL: 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？
% v2 b! a2 B- r' `( L7 V( ?
M: Yes, it means we were really fortunate.

L: 那每当我觉得运气好的时候，我都能用to luck out来表示吗？
6 c2 b  K: n1 q/ }% k
M: Yes, for example, I can say I really lucked out on that test last week. I didn't study very much for it, but I still knew all the answers on the test.

L: 上星期的考试，我可没有考好。你没怎么念书倒是都能答出考题， you really lucked out on that test. 我可没有这种运气。我要不念书就 考不好。
! X: P' A! u% U5 a5 K* X& f
