$ N$ A* _8 g! t8 sM: She's not usually so nice. Normally all she does is complain. I think there's something fishy going on.
, b+ ]: D6 d/ ^) Q
/ c+ j% n3 [& AL: 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？
. A: C6 M6 ^0 C$ n& k
M: Oh, fishy is fish with a "y". It means there is something suspicious going on.
6 a7 [% L/ z* Q
* A$ @& A7 y% X/ i# DL: 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.
- E; H$ P- ?2 g6 D! J9 K
: K. m9 \3 u7 t* V( c* e# 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。

6 j9 n4 r3 V" r4 x- AM: I can say something is fishy if I think someone is lying about something.

M: That's right.

! d1 W7 e. d) q* {- r" D+ 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？

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 b/ P& x: Z, dL: 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: Yes, it means we were really fortunate.
