 The company seems fishy.这个公司听起来很可疑

fishy和fish很像,但是fishy这个词的意思和鱼没什么关系。我们都知道鱼是滑溜溜的,不好抓住。fishy这个词就是从这个意思引申出去,成了“靠不住的,可疑的”意思
 

【情景剧】

Amanda:The company told me that they would charge 200 dollars for training according to the tradition.
阿曼达:那家公司说,按照惯例他们要收200美元的培训费。
Carl:The company seems fishy.you should be careful.
卡尔:这家公司听起来很可疑。你应该谨慎点。
