! U6 q) r+ u( t. ]  iL: 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。

+ e$ P# _) P: K1 rM: She's not usually so nice. Normally all she does is complain. I think there's something fishy going on.

5 v- V3 U  }! B. U' ~/ _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？
  {5 v+ W8 P2 s; ~4 c
" g; k& n- j. BM: Oh, fishy is fish with a "y". It means there is something suspicious going on.

  q/ @3 k% u( @! Y% r9 ~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 l! d: W4 d' l
M: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.
5 T; h$ p+ {1 ]0 [! z* O
2 J0 @! j) V# hL: 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。

% N% e3 _0 ^* ^! d& ?M: I can say something is fishy if I think someone is lying about something.

- o7 T  h% F* ^7 G( H! G  @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.

3 D- @& H; `" {$ b; N( VL: 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？
. ~% K, A! N' A; o5 U/ Z
- v6 ?- E( I1 w% f5 CM: 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.
4 K4 K% N/ i5 h; o1 R; _
- r- {7 m- ?. x& r2 B% W9 o6 `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: Look, half of the flights are canceled because of the snow, but ours is still on time. We really lucked out.

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？

. M; y- P4 A$ T7 o, c# K2 k$ |M: 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？

- @% G# f8 |6 l  rM: 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。
