这天Catherine遇到一家公司,只经过了一轮面试就通知她被录取了,但是要求她交1000元的岗前培训费,Catherine将这件事告诉了Jenny,Jenny说"The company seems fishy." Catherine又不明白了,便问她是什么意思

J::The company seems fishy.
J:这个公司听起来很可疑
C::Is it a company related to fish?
C:这个公司和鱼有关系吗?
J::No.I mean the company seems to be cheating you.You should be careful.
J:不是。我的意思是这个公司好像在骗你。你要当心
C::You are right .I will.
C:你说的对,我会的
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
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。
