* V' s; E: Z2 D2 S$ H' S, f1 F6 ZL: 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.
8 |. z: C; W7 q( ~
% v9 L- J5 r) [" {4 |; {$ cL: 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.

3 |9 @9 l2 ~6 I8 nL: 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.

0 y8 O1 a* Y: T# sL: 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.

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？

$ C6 n; N' v7 k5 L+ l+ h: q1 IL: 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: You really have to be careful whenever you smell something fishy.

( 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。
( S& ~! ~6 f" {, r3 K
M: Look, half of the flights are canceled because of the snow, but ours is still on time. We really lucked out.

6 f6 L% N1 }6 D- @) i0 ^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？

% d" R* B. W" r4 ?/ J% ~- d1 WM: Yes, it means we were really fortunate.

9 J2 d6 ^/ A. P! p* j/ {2 T' T' |L: 那每当我觉得运气好的时候，我都能用to luck out来表示吗？

+ A: L; z7 V; K9 r4 n8 ^9 vM: 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.

0 {6 {2 B9 N& @3 kL: 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。
