四月一号愚人节。李华到处去找michael, 有事商量。今天她会学到两个常用语,sketchy和sucker。
l:michael,和我住在一起的小陈今天打电话到我工作的地方。她说警察到家里去找我。他们说我的签证有问题。我该怎么办?我很害怕。
m:what? i don't believe her. that story sounds sketchy.
l:你说听起来什么?你不信小陈说的话?
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。你怎么知道小陈说的话不可信?
m: well, for one thing, the police usually don't care about visas. they are too busy looking for serious criminals.
l:嗯,对呀,警察抓罪犯还忙不过来呢,他们才不管签证呢!移民局的人才是管签证的。这么说来,小陈的话是有点可疑,sketchy。
m:also, i don't think the police or immigration officers would go to your house. that sounds very sketchy.
l: 对,michael, 你可真行呐! 要是签证有问题,移民局一般会先给我一封信,他们才不会到家去找我呢。这真是越说越不可信了。
m:but if you want to know what's really sketchy, you should remember wha
