英语俚语：Smell a rat和Fishy--不太对劲
|
1. Smell a Rat = feel that something is wrong 可以用 I smell a rat 来表达自己感觉什么事情不正常、奇怪、不对头的意思，就象闻到死老鼠的味道一样。 A: How come the front door is open? Didn't you close it before we went shopping? B: I'm sure I did. I can't understand it. A: Frankly, I smell a rat. B: Me, too. I'm convinced that something is definitely wrong here. A: We'd better call the police. 2. Fishy = strange and suspicious 同 smell a rat 意思相近，也表示感觉奇怪和怀疑，就象闻到鱼的腥臭味一样。 When the security guard（保安）saw a light in the store after closing hours, it seemed to him that there was something fishy going on. He called the central office and explained to his superior（上级） that he thought something strange and suspicious（令人怀疑的） was occuring. |
