地道表达

fishy

1. 解释

Fishy一词是有fish一次的本义引申而出来的意思是“可疑的，靠不住的”，fish在我们手中是滑溜溜的，不好抓住。因此，就有了其引申义。

2. 例句

e.g. It's a bit fishy, giving away a mattress like that?

这可有点儿叫人怀疑，把这么好一床垫褥送人。

e.g. There's something fishy about his testimony.

他的证言有可疑之处。

e.g. His excessive politeness seemed fishy.

他礼貌过度周到,令人觉得有些可疑。

e.g. There was something fishy about that guy.
