, t7 v0 D5 [  M: g7 jM: She's not usually so nice. Normally all she does is complain. I think there's something fishy going on.

0 M4 U9 j9 i* \! V8 Q/ YM: 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？
, c1 a; t9 N( \! ?' _. Y
M: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.

6 w2 X4 k4 a6 q) H4 i/ U' mL: 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: I can say something is fishy if I think someone is lying about something.

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.

( H: C; U% r" }. U( I7 Z3 wM: 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？

5 N7 o' L7 z( a% |+ yM: 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.

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: You really have to be careful whenever you smell something fishy.
