Lesson

There seems to be something "fishy" going on.

English:
"fishy" means something suspicious and doubtful. 

When someone says something you doubt, you can say "It smells fishy." 

Or when you think something strange going on, you can say "something smells fishy," or "There's something fishy going on."

大家猜得出來最上面第一句裡面的"fishy"是甚麼意思嗎? 
當"fish"變成"fishy"就是「可疑的」意思。

我來講個聯想法~你以後就會記起來了。魚本身就有味道了~假設你某一天回到家, 你聞到魚腥味, 你就會開始「懷疑」味道從哪邊來~所以fishy就是可疑的~~

或是有人講的話, 你覺得對方可能在騙你, 你就可以說"It smells fishy."

P.S. 例句的翻譯: 事情好像有點不對勁~~
