M: Oh, fishy is fish with a "y". It means there is something suspicious going on.

M: Because she always acts this way when she is trying to get our parents to let her do something.
5 p" V1 j/ O+ F1 O3 t9 o$ n( R9 z0 I+ b0 {
L: 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。

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.

L: Michael， 一个周末过得真快。好象刚到，现在又要搭飞机走了。

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: Yes, it means we were really fortunate.

7 b4 S( u$ ^) V7 {9 ~9 E7 [2 _L: 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.

M: Hold on a second, I think they just called my name. I hope nothing's wrong.
1 U+ A+ @: ^3 X* M
L: 对，我也听到他们叫你的名字呢，快去看看，有什么问题。

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.
