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。

3 Z% C8 J7 i8 m' EL: 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。

M: She's not usually so nice. Normally all she does is complain. I think there's something fishy going on.
3 ~$ o1 {2 P' H7 w7 S
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？

# Z! s; l. k: M3 I# d# k# O+ AM: Oh, fishy is fish with a "y". It means there is something suspicious going on.
$ g7 S! L4 f( q4 r" @8 @3 I2 h
! H9 m4 J7 j; D- _( \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？

/ E$ G1 [& u1 z( l( B8 TM: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.
* ^+ U( C; t6 c' ^" E% Y4 X
, Q) Q  o* f2 a- j2 P  aL: 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。
' ?3 c; y# c1 x1 _( e" J  R  ]
M: I can say something is fishy if I think someone is lying about something.

9 M3 C+ y8 C" hM: That's right.

$ a4 i, V0 {  E" P( K: x! kL: 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？
  ^* F& N: C+ e( M  v
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.
7 X  v' P' R) G6 M( d: w) h
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！

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？

: e( d# p* M8 c) h1 L+ sM: Yes, it means we were really fortunate.
