| smell a rat (某事)怪怪的 |
A: Kevin wants to sell me his brand-new 4RUNNER for under $25,000.
A: Kevin 要把他全新的 Toyota 4RUNNER 用不到 $25,000 賣給我。
B: I smell a rat. Do you?
B: 我覺得這件事怪怪的, 你呢?
◆I smell a rat 就是 I smell something fishy, 都是覺得事有蹊蹺的意思。用「魚」和「老鼠」是因為美國人覺得這二者都有股怪味。
◆brand-new 也可寫成 bran-new, 是全新的意思。

B: Snap out of it, Kay! Drew is not the right person for you. Be strong and walk away from this man.
B: 振作起來吧, Kay! Drew 不適合妳。勇敢的離開這個人吧!
◆"Snape out it!" 是用在鼓勵一個人從悲傷、自憐、自責、擔憂等情緒中站起來所用的話。蠻常聽到的一個口語。

A: 我昨晚夢見我和 Keith 大吵了一頓。 今天早上, 他穿著和他昨晚在我夢裡穿的一樣的衣服進來。

| spill the beans 洩露秘密 |
A: I heard that you and Philip had just got engaged.
A: 我聽說妳和 Philip 訂婚了。
B: What? Who spilled the beans? No one is supposed to know about it.
B: 什麼? 是誰說出去的? 這本來應該是個秘密的。

◆"be engaged" 是「訂婚」的意思。
