没关系，不过如果你正在学习的话……
English then it's important for you to learn to use some “fishy expressions” and I have some seven fishy expressions for you here.
那么，对你来说，学习使用一些“可疑的表达方式”就非常重要了。我这里有七种这样的表达方式供你参考。
Hey friends, it’s me Niharika, welcome back.
嘿，朋友们，我是尼哈里卡，欢迎大家再次回到这里。
Well do you eat fish or do you go fishing?
那么，你是吃鱼，还是去钓鱼呢？
Well doesn't matter but if you are learning English then it's nice to know some fishy expressions that you can use in your conversation.
嗯，其实这也无所谓……但如果你正在学习英语的话，了解一些可以在对话中使用的表达方式还是不错的。
So I have some fishy expressions for you and let's see what exactly do they mean and how you can use them.
我有一些表达比较“奇怪”（或带有特定含义）的短语，让我们来看看它们到底是什么意思，以及该如何使用它们。
The first one that I have for you is, “to smell fishy”.
我首先要告诉你们的是：“感觉事情有些不对劲（或：有可疑之处）”。
Oh yes!
哦，对了！
Fish does have bad odor but when I use the expression to smell fishy, it doesn't mean that I am saying that the fish stinks,
鱼确实会散发出难闻的气味，但当我用“fishy”这个词来形容某件事或某人的行为时，并不是指那件事或那个人本身有臭味。
no, the expression means to suspect.
不，这个表达的意思是“怀疑”。
You know when you suspect someone or something it means it smells fishy.
你知道，当你怀疑某个人或某件事时，那就意味着事情有些不对劲（或者说存在可疑之处）。
So for example your friend is trying to justify himself about something and you don't believe him, you think he's lying,
比如说，你的朋友正在试图为自己某件事的行为辩解，但你并不相信他，你觉得他在撒谎。
so his justification has no point, that's when you can use this expression you can say that, “well his explanation,
因此，他的辩解毫无道理可言。这时就可以使用这个表达方式来说：“嗯，他的解释……
I just don't believe him, I smell something fishy.”
我就是不相信他；我觉得有些事情不对劲（或者说有些可疑之处）。
So wherein you are suspecting him, right?
那么，你是在哪里怀疑他的呢？
Moving on to another expression that I have for you is, “to fish for a compliment”.
接下来我想说的是另一个表达：“故意讨好别人以获得赞美”（或“故意装模作样以期待别人夸奖”）。
“So people, how do I look today?”
那么，大家觉得我今天看起来怎么样？
Well when you are all dressed up, you're wearing something really nice, you expect people to be nice,
嗯，当你精心打扮、穿上漂亮的衣服时，你就会期待别人也能表现得友善、礼貌。
to you to say something which is really nice.
我想对你说一些非常美好的话。
That means that you are fishing for a compliment.
这意味着你是在期待别人夸奖你。
Yes!
是的！
So to fish for a compliment it means that you are expecting others to say something nice to you.
因此，“fish for a compliment”（试图引出别人的赞美）的意思是：你希望别人能对你说一些好话。
So my friend comes up wearing a new dress and she just looks at me, I just know it that she is fishing for a compliment.
我的朋友穿了一条新裙子走过来，她只是看着我，我就知道她在等着我夸她。
Yes!
是的！
So I am really nice and therefore I compliment her by saying that, “Wow!
我这个人真的很友善，因此我赞美她说：“哇！
You look amazing tonight”, alright?
你今晚看起来美极了，好吗？
Moving on to the third expression that I have for you, “to live in a fishbowl”.
接下来，我向您介绍第三个表达：“生活在鱼缸里”（即生活在一个完全受监控、无法自由活动的环境中）。
Well to live in a fishbowl it means to live in a place where everyone is watching you,
生活在“鱼缸”里，其实就是指生活在一个所有人都在监视你的地方。
keeping an eye on you.
我一直在关注着你。
Like our movie stars, yes, any famous personality well the media, the people, everyone is watching them.
就像我们的电影明星一样，任何知名人物——无论是媒体关注的公众人物还是普通大众——都会被所有人关注。
They just don't have any personal life.
他们根本就没有个人生活。
So which means that “movie artists live in a fishbowl”.
那么，这句话的意思就是：“电影艺术家们就像生活在鱼缸里一样（即他们的私生活完全暴露在公众视野之下）。
Even if you live or you belong to a small town where everyone knows about you, you know keeps an eye on you,
即使你生活在一个小镇上，那里的每个人都知道你、都在关注着你，你也应该明白：人们其实一直在观察着你。
they just know what's going on in your life.
他们就是知道你生活中发生了什么。
So it means that you live in a fishbowl.
也就是说，你生活在一个“鱼缸”里——一个被完全监控、无法自由活动的环境里。
So have you seen a fishbowl before?
那么，你以前见过鱼缸吗？
Right it's just so tiny and you can just see the fish all day long.
没错，这个地方非常小，不过你可以一整天都看到那些鱼。
So that's how you can use this expression for someone who lives in such a place where everybody is keeping an eye on him or her.
也就是说，你可以用这个表达来描述那些生活在这样一个地方的人：在那个地方，每个人都在密切监视着他们。
