我知道,grapevine就是“口头消息”的意思。所以,Allison刚开始的时候说,她是从别人口中听到Jeremy和Heather交往的消息的。
Jeremy: What? I didn't beg her. When I invited her, I just gave her some advice about what clothes to wear
Allison: I don't know Jeremy, isn't that the kind of advice that a boyfriend usually gives? And what about your secret conversations in math class?
Jeremy: No! She was just giving me the answers to the math homework ... Wait! I mean ... she is my math tutor.
Allison: Your math tutor? I have to say, that sounds pretty fishy. Isn't tutoring the usual excuse people use when they start dating?
Jeremy: Come on Allison, you have to believe me. This is all just a big misunderstanding.
尽管Jeremy费力澄清,可是Allison并不相信他的话,觉得他说的话很"fishy"--可疑!
Professor: Right. You can call something "fishy" if it sounds suspicious or unbelievable.
Jeremy: Eh ... It's really bad when people believe whatever they hear without asking for proof.
Allison: Well you know, everybody just wants to be in the loop. And when the gossip is really good, everybody wants to tell their friends.
Jeremy: Hmm .. Do you think we could start a good rumor? Like, that I'm the smartest student in school?
Allison: Sorry buddy, nobody is interested in good rumors. And that one definitely isn't believable if you need a math tutor!
