小编的小喇叭】


 The company seems fishy.这个公司听起来很可疑


fishy和fish很像,但是fishy这个词的意思和鱼没什么关系。我们都知道鱼是滑溜溜的,不好抓住。fishy这个词就是从这个意思引申出去,成了“靠不住的,可疑的”意思

 


【情景剧】


Amanda:The company told me that they would charge 200 dollars for training according to the tradition.

阿曼达:那家公司说,按照惯例他们要收200美元的培训费。

Carl:The company seems fishy.you should be careful.

卡尔:这家公司听起来很可疑。你应该谨慎点。
