   核心句型:


  The company seems fishy 1.
  这家公司看起来很可疑。
  fishy的本意是“鱼的,似鱼的”,鱼滑溜溜的不好抓住,于是fishy的引申意思就是“可疑的、靠不住的”。因此当美国人说"The company seems fishy."时,他要表达的意思就是:"The company is suspicious."、"The cpmpany looks quite questionable 2."。
  情景对话:
  Shirley : The company told me that I was hired and I had to pay 200dollars for training. I'm a little confused.
  雪莉:那家公司说要雇佣我了,但是我要先交200美元的培训费,我有点疑惑。
  Benjamin: Honey, you'd better be careful. The company seems fishy.
  本杰明:亲爱的,你最好谨慎点。这家公司很可疑。
  搭配句积累:
  ①What do you think of this company?
  你觉得这家公司怎么样?
  ②The company promised me a good salary.
  这家公司承诺给我丰厚的薪水。
  ③This company has hired me without a face-to-face interview.
  这家公司没有现场面试就雇用我了。
  ④A lot of strange people were coming in and out of the company when I was having an interview there.
  我去那家公司面试的时候,有好多陌生人进进出出的。
