今天是四月一號愚人節(jié)。李華到處去找Michael，有事商量。今天她會(huì)學(xué)到兩個(gè)常用語，sketchy和sucker。
L：Michael，和我住在一起的小陳今天打電話到我工作的地方。她說警察到家里去找我。他們說我的簽證有問題。我該怎么辦？我很害怕。
M: What? I don't believe her. That story sounds sketchy.
L：你說聽起來什么？你不信小陳說的話？
M: That's right. I said her story is "sketchy" . That means it is suspicious and cannot be trusted.
L：噢，sketchy就是可疑，不可信。你怎么知道小陳說的話不可信？
M: Well, for one thing, the police usually don't care about visas. They are too busy looking for serious criminals.
L：嗯，對呀，警察抓罪犯還忙不過來呢，他們才不管簽證呢！移民局的人才是管簽證的。這么說來，小陳的話是有點(diǎn)可疑，sketchy。
M: Also, I don't think the police or immigration officers would go to your house. That sounds very sketchy.
L： 對，Michael，你可真行吶！要是簽證有問題，移民局一般會(huì)先給我一封信，他們才不會(huì)到家去找我呢。這真是越說越不可信了。
M: But if you want to know what's really sketchy, you should remember what day it is.
L：今天是什么日子呀？噢……今天是四月一號愚人節(jié)！喲，我的老天爺呀，我沒想到小陳會(huì)跟我開這個(gè)玩笑。
M: Heh heh, your roommate is pretty sketchy too, if you ask me.
L：等等，你也能說一個(gè)人sketchy？你覺得小陳這個(gè)人不太可信？對，她的話確實(shí)是靠不住。上星期在聚會(huì)上見到的那個(gè)人，死跟著我不放，楞要送我回家，我能不能說，that guy was very sketchy?
M: Yes, that guy was very sketchy. You have to be careful around sketchy people like that.
L：對了，我得打電話告訴小陳我沒上她的當(dāng)，借你的手機(jī)用一用，行嗎？
M: Sure!
M: What did you say to your roommate just now? You were talking so fast in Chinese that I couldn't understand.
L：我告訴她我很生氣，我不想再跟她住在一起了，我告訴她我要搬出去和她哥哥同居了。嘿，她好象真相信我說的話！
M: She believed that? She is such a sucker!
L：她是什么？你是說她sketchy，是嗎？
M: No, no…… a sucker is someone who believes people who lie to her, and can be easily tricked .
L：Sucker這個(gè)詞我在學(xué)校里經(jīng)常聽到，可就不是太清楚究竟是什么意思。原來sucker是指很容易上當(dāng)，很輕信別人的人。我一開始相信了小陳的話，那我不就是個(gè)sucker咯！
M: Sure, everyone is a sucker at one time or another……
L：那倒是的，每個(gè)人有時(shí)難免會(huì)當(dāng)傻瓜。我記得你在電腦上收到很多電子郵件的廣告，說你可以在家工作賺很多錢，當(dāng)時(shí)你還很相信這些廣告呢。You were such a sucker!
M: Hey, my phone is ringing. Li Hua, it's for you. I think it's your roommate.
L：是小陳？讓我跟她說話。（李華接電話）是呀！我不管你告訴他什么。我們相愛，我們要同居。什么？我不管你說什么，我不要跟騙我的人住在一起。（關(guān)電話）
M: Your roommate is a real sucker! She still believes your story even after talking to her brother?
L：對，他跟她哥哥通完了電話，但是還相信我要和她哥哥同居了。我看我還是給她打個(gè)電話告訴她我是在開玩笑吧，否則她會(huì)把我的東西從窗子里都扔掉的。
今天Michael 教李華學(xué)會(huì)了兩個(gè)常用語，一個(gè)是：sketchy，意思是一個(gè)人，或者是一個(gè)人說的話不可信，值得懷疑；另一個(gè)是：sucker， 指一個(gè)很輕信，很容易上當(dāng)?shù)娜恕?BR>
