　　迷你對(duì)話

　　A : Wait! I smell a rat!

　　等等!我感到有點(diǎn)不對(duì)勁。

　　B: What? Oh, we are in the wrong classroom!

　　什么，哦，我們走錯(cuò)了教室。

　　地道表達(dá)

　　smell a rat

　　1. 解詞釋義

　　Smell a rat中的rat是指“老鼠”。老鼠在人們心中是個(gè)鬼鬼祟祟的樣子，如果你問(wèn)到了老鼠的味道，你會(huì)感覺(jué)到惡心，心里發(fā)毛，同時(shí)還可能想你的東西是否被他咬過(guò)。這種感覺(jué)和俚語(yǔ)中的smell the rat的意思相近了，意思是“讓人覺(jué)得不對(duì)勁”“發(fā)覺(jué)可疑”“感覺(jué)事情蹊蹺，不對(duì)勁”。其英文解釋為：to suspect that something iswrong; to sense that someone has caused something wrong。

　　2. 拓展例句

　　e.g. Why are the police looking for me? I smell a rat.

　　警察為什么在找我?我覺(jué)得事有蹊蹺。

　　e.g. The old man would probably smell a rat if he were to claim them now.

　　馬上去要，恐怕老頭子多心。

　　e.g. Every time Joe visits me, one of my ash trays disappears. I'm beginning to smell a rat.

　　每次喬來(lái)看我，我就有一只煙灰缸不見(jiàn)了。我開(kāi)始起了疑心。

　　e.g. The teacher did not smell a rat until he found Jack kept looking downwards at his own feetinstead of at his own paper.

　　直到老師發(fā)現(xiàn)杰克不在看自己的卷子，而老盯著自己的腳看時(shí)，他才發(fā)現(xiàn)有問(wèn)題。
