  k3 ~( z# h- z! V) B( QL: 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。

9 k# K. |. F0 t& R' C" g* r9 [M: She's not usually so nice. Normally all she does is complain. I think there's something fishy going on.
3 w1 U+ \" B' d3 y
9 y8 R  U7 x$ `: r- W  i: @0 UL: 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？
3 R9 Q# y$ R) z+ ?/ y
M: 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？
4 t8 N2 m  k, C  S; N# w4 P8 N
M: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.
: a4 c7 I' y" V- V9 u. }
0 s% D( P3 T2 w" E7 c% W* qL: 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。

: B: Y% {* y2 `% F5 e/ B; gM: I can say something is fishy if I think someone is lying about something.
- r* O4 T7 V/ [9 o# i
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.

M: 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？

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.

8 u4 G% e4 a& X0 {' fL: 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！

9 s: ?1 A* v  {4 K
M: Look, half of the flights are canceled because of the snow, but ours is still on time. We really lucked out.

2 f8 Z- g3 F+ _; G% x# I; oL: 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？
: z. ]( X8 I" u* j& E; S
0 R+ E5 X0 g) P% p/ NM: Yes, it means we were really fortunate.
" d9 s, ^* j/ H5 E. U- H
! S# ~7 V6 A0 m/ I9 sL: 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。

/ S! y8 F3 f+ \. F: R* k0 a/ YM: Hold on a second, I think they just called my name. I hope nothing's wrong.

L: 怎么回事，Michael, 票子没有问题吧？

M: No, in fact I lucked out again. I dropped my wallet at the ticket counter. They just wanted to return it to me.

8 P! W: f+ Q' f6 ?9 oL: 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？
