9 c, A9 y# k$ x! zM: She's not usually so nice. Normally all she does is complain. I think there's something fishy going on.
( Z, y& U5 E; b: [6 V! f
& r4 e7 V3 ^; u- C7 k3 xL: 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: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.

) f, g! V5 E0 S3 FL: 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。

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.
