日常对话-Funny Fishy, Feet

Xiaohua: Emma, you have something to share with us, right? Emma: I'm going to ask you guys a question. Xiaohua: OK. What question? Emma: Why won't sharks eat clownfish? Xiaohua: Why won't sharks eat clownfish? Sharks是鲨鱼，clownfish就是《Finding Nemo》里的小丑鱼。为什么鲨鱼不吃小丑鱼呢？Oh, I know, it's because the clownfish is too ugly. Emma: No. The clownfish tastes funny! Xiaohua: Hahaha, I got it! Because it's a CLOWN-fish, so it's funny! And when something tastes funny, it means... Emma: they don't taste right. Xiaohua: 对，something tastes funny的意思就是味道好怪啊，好恶心，是yucky的funny，not good funny, but bad funny. So the shark wouldn't eat the clownfish because it tastes funny. And that leads me to my 知识点 of the day: the word funny means funny，可笑的，but it can also mean tasting bad. Let's make sentences. Emma: Pumpkins sometimes tastes funny. Xiaohua: No! Pumpkins tastes great! Emma: Well, only when they're pumpkin soup. ...... Xiaohua: Oh, I have a sentence that's pumpkin-related, too. Jack-O-Lanterns look funny. But pumpkins sometimes tastes funny. 说到味道，还有一个特别搞笑，funny的词，也可以形容味道不好吃，那就是It tastes like feet! Emma: What? You smell like feet! Xiaohua: When something tastes like feet, it's really, really a yucky smell. 所以对你来说，什么东西吃起来像脚？ Emma: Carrots taste like feet. I hate carrots! Xiaohua: No! taste like feet的东西也是有特别funny、怪异的味道。I think 折耳根 tastes like fish. ...... Emma: I have another one: Poop tastes worse than feet! ...... Xiaohua: So，我们说了funny, which can mean both 可笑的，hilarious，and难闻的，难吃的。我们还说了feet, finally我们要说——fishy. Emma: Fishy, 像鱼一样的。 Xiaohua: 但是fishy这个词其实不是像鱼一样的。 Emma: You look fishy! Xiaohua: 我们一般不说某个人look fishy，但会说某件事情看起来有点fishy。Something looks fishy... Emma: that means it involves a lot of fish! Xiaohua: No! 不是说这件事跟很多鱼有关，而是说这件事可疑！Something is suspicious. Something does not feel right. Emma: With the fish. Xiaohua: 跟鱼没有关系啦！fishy的意思是可疑的。但是fishy确实有一个意思， Emma: 就是吃起来跟鱼一样！ Xiaohua: 对了，就是有鱼腥味的，有鱼味儿的。但是是说不太好的那种鱼腥味儿。Of course fish tastes fishy, but sometimes other things that have gone bad... Emma: Carrots taste fishy! Xiaohua: No, carrots don't taste fishy. 真的是要有腥味的，闻上去像是坏了的。那你能不能有可疑的fishy这个意思造个句呢？ Emma: Well，you look fishy. Xiaohua: No! 我已经说了，fishy一般不用来形容鱼，而是一个situation。 让我来想一个situation. For example, a classmate of yours, who is usually very bad to you, and very mean, suddenly treats you very, very nicely, and wants you to have a snack, or an eraser of hers. And so you would think: This is fishy. Maybe she wants something from me. Maybe she wants to copy my homework. This is fishy. 对吧。 Emma: No, I would think: maybe she wants to poison me. Fishy, fishy. Xiaohua: No. It's that bad. 所以总结一下，我们今天学了funny, fishy... Emma: feety! Xiaohua: Not feety, but tastes like feet. Emma: You smell like feet. Xiaohua: You smell like fish. Emma: You smell like feet. Xiaohua: You smell funny. Emma: You smell like poop! Xiaohua: You smell like fishy poop! Emma: You smell like feety, fishy, funny poop! Xiaohua: I strongly disagree! And so that's all for today, good-bye! ...
