虽然不是每个人的第六感都很灵,但随着年龄增大,阅历增多,会让我们多少能在事情发生时第一时间判断出些眉目。比如,突然碰到天上掉馅儿饼的事儿时,我们多少都会想想,会不会真有这么好的事儿,是不是背后另有原因。今天,我们就来说说这样的情况我们可以怎样表达。
Something fishy, 就是一个表示“事有蹊跷;有猫腻,不对劲儿”的短语。Fishy, 可疑的;靠不住的。
A:What’s wrong with you? Why don’t you pay the money? What are you waiting for? It can’t be cheaper. 你怎么了?你怎么不付款呢?你还在等什么?价钱不可能更便宜了。
B:Listen. It appeared to be a real bargain, but I could feel something fishy because the man was in such a hurry to sell it. 听着,这个价钱真是便宜,可是这人那么急急忙忙地出售让我感到哪儿不对劲儿。
