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。

/ E, O; ]6 T/ z$ A% SL: 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。

3 G0 [9 o1 e) S4 {  F' |M: She's not usually so nice. Normally all she does is complain. I think there's something fishy going on.
1 f) ^' X6 c/ @) O3 `# i2 L( g
: J6 y2 z, p$ j% J7 q+ ^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？

2 y+ k, w% g6 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？

# O- y7 g, _, Q9 fM: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.
5 P8 q4 f6 H' g
* [4 ?/ g  M% _0 d- ]2 o7 RL: 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。
% a/ j8 M2 c. G- Q
M: I can say something is fishy if I think someone is lying about something.
% @) h3 s7 |: E) A7 c
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.

6 }5 ?1 _! \) F3 r: kM: That's right.
( `6 K6 k& T5 H* A1 g' z0 L
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？
( _" D# l' x2 h
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.
/ H" [, o! I& B$ t0 c6 q
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！
* w5 ~  S: k7 D2 Z& C
+ o' `. G- R% j7 [M: You really have to be careful whenever you smell something fishy.

5 y6 j- t! M7 _; V+ \( Michael和李华在飞机场)

$ f9 x% s5 V. Q3 Y
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？
4 P$ C* {( a. Y# r$ A
M: Yes, it means we were really fortunate.
$ i4 D; _: V6 k  c4 s# d
5 E+ m5 [4 y- o0 }# BL: 那每当我觉得运气好的时候，我都能用to luck out来表示吗？

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。
% |3 _. i/ a" f% C7 D# e" |
M: Hold on a second, I think they just called my name. I hope nothing's wrong.

' V& }3 W( ]6 o& E- d$ u+ o% ~L: 对，我也听到他们叫你的名字呢，快去看看，有什么问题。

6 Z9 w. B9 f5 y: h% oL: 怎么回事，Michael, 票子没有问题吧？

. _. `0 y8 r; R+ H: BM: No, in fact I lucked out again. I dropped my wallet at the ticket counter. They just wanted to return it to me.

' {/ L5 ^2 X: [3 vL: 哟，你钱包掉了还不知道，柜台捡到了还主动还给你。你哪 来那么好的运气呐！You really lucked out this time! 钱包里有多少钱 哪？

5 E% i& w0 R& O% n. f+ K6 q3 Y* cM: Not much, only ten bucks! Come on Li Hua, let's board the plane.
