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。

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。

M: She's not usually so nice. Normally all she does is complain. I think there's something fishy going on.

4 A, ?9 w+ d5 M) |: g4 jL: 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: Oh, fishy is fish with a "y". It means there is something suspicious going on.

5 ?* Q& @9 B/ j0 h+ [- t. iL: 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？

M: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.
8 M' u4 M+ h2 L2 }3 i( ~- T
L: 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.

3 i- a/ D8 Y1 r6 k9 [& a  G4 `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.
" J, T' B2 j# }- H. X
3 d2 Q9 ?2 S9 h8 kM: 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？

3 ]) t9 j$ G/ K" @3 I# F" K( d1 HM: 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.

: b9 M7 }6 N4 X; F0 J# M4 \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！

8 n3 }/ F, R% H* \( Michael和李华在飞机场)

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.

; C& o1 j8 n. k# `- p2 M/ L8 BL: 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？

, {6 O3 G2 K" {+ d8 |  P# R+ hM: 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？
+ ^% B+ I+ b2 Q, l! T
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。

M: Hold on a second, I think they just called my name. I hope nothing's wrong.
  I( `" U0 R% T. K# I+ ?# j
L: 对，我也听到他们叫你的名字呢，快去看看，有什么问题。

" G+ T, @; @) |1 M' fM: No, in fact I lucked out again. I dropped my wallet at the ticket counter. They just wanted to return it to me.

$ \: l& @1 _* Y# F" fL: 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？
