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

7 t. B. @5 M) r: l0 BL: 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.
8 O5 u1 y, E. K* ~' e
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& A" @3 @9 I- ^  @7 L- a, J
M: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.

! I) }2 {) H- |9 b$ K9 U  b( M6 n. \; 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。

4 j9 b9 b' S+ BM: I can say something is fishy if I think someone is lying about something.

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.

% w9 E6 M7 c. K, E) nM: 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？

, Q) V( n* q, L3 ~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？

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.

L: 对，我也听到他们叫你的名字呢，快去看看，有什么问题。
