Xbfeng

Michael在纽约上大学，他父母住在华盛顿，这个周末他请李华到他父母家作客。今天，李华会学到两个常用语：fishy和to luck out。

L: 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.

. p* B: b/ L* e2 w; R$ T1 yL: 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？
( o% J- Q7 K1 p# m+ p7 M
" y% |% [% G* I# V  O8 v+ ^8 GM: Oh, fishy is fish with a "y". It means there is something suspicious going on.

' N- S& ~6 O7 H" Y7 wL: 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.
: @% f5 a0 |$ \
8 E; Y6 s+ _/ |/ x$ 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。

+ I, T8 r0 a* @: Z+ HM: 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.

M: That's right.

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？
, p9 E( O) w1 d' `( P8 u( v' B
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.

( g9 Y, d* I$ `5 W0 ?( @' x6 @. wL: 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！

2 l- o2 P* L; C$ d& B5 D' Z* UM: You really have to be careful whenever you smell something fishy.

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？

# J( H/ c2 J  D; gM: Yes, it means we were really fortunate.

L: 哟，你钱包掉了还不知道，柜台捡到了还主动还给你。你哪 来那么好的运气呐！You really lucked out this time! 钱包里有多少钱 哪？

M: Not much, only ten bucks! Come on Li Hua, let's board the plane.
