FISH｜釣魚

The idiom “smell something fishy” means that you suspect something is wrong, dishonest, or suspicious.

When I was little, I always read news stories about a guy who was impaled with a steel bar, or a javelin that went through his head and somehow survived. The key is not to pull it out, or he will bleed to death. Just imagine surviving but having to keep the object that went through your body — ​that would be very uncomfortable.

It was just a random thought.

英文慣用語「smell something fishy」意思是察覺事情不對勁、可疑，或不誠實。

小時候，我常讀到一些新聞報導，說有人被鋼筋刺穿，或是標槍穿過頭部卻奇蹟生還，關鍵在於不能把東西拔出，否則會失血過多致死。想像一下，你雖然活下來了，卻要讓那東西一直留在身體裡，這種感覺該有多不對勁啊。

這只是我胡亂想想而已。
