核心句型:
The company seems fishy 1.
这家公司看起来很可疑。
fishy的本意是“鱼的,似鱼的”,鱼滑溜溜的不好抓住,于是fishy的引申意思就是“可疑的、靠不住的”。因此当美国人说"The company seems fishy."时,他要表达的意思就是:"The company is suspicious."、"The cpmpany looks quite questionable 2."。
情景对话:
Shirley : The company told me that I was hired and I had to pay 200dollars for training. I'm a little confused.
雪莉:那家公司说要雇佣我了,但是我要先交200美元的培训费,我有点疑惑。
Benjamin: Honey, you'd better be careful. The company seems fishy.
本杰明:亲爱的,你最好谨慎点。这家公司很可疑。
