美国习惯用语-第781:不受欢迎
<p>我有个朋友是做金融投资的，前些日子他一直建议我买一家公司的股票，说稳赚不赔。结果就在我准备掏钱的时候，消息传来，说这家公司的总经理被告了，人家指控他有不法商业行为。</p><p>虽然法院还没判，但总经理官司缠身，很可能影响公司股价。这让我想到了一个习惯用语，那就是：<span word="under">under</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="cloud">cloud</span>.</p><p><span word="Cloud">Cloud</span>是“云”的意思，<span word="under">under</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="cloud">cloud</span> ，在云的下面，颇有点中文里“乌云蔽日”的意思，也就是形容一个人不得志，有麻烦，受怀疑。</p><p>我刚才说的这个公司的总经理现在就是<span word="under">under</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="cloud">cloud</span>，正在吃官司，所以我还是先不买他们公司的股票了，看看形势再说。话说回来，这个总经理也可能是被冤枉的，就跟下面这段话中的大学生一样：</p><p>例句-1：<span word="When">When</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="professor">professor</span> <span word="caught">caught</span> <span word="me">me</span> <span word="glancing">glancing</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="cell">cell</span> <span word="phone">phone</span>, <span word="she">she</span> <span word="thought">thought</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="cheating">cheating</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="exam">exam</span>. <span word="I">I</span> <span word="explained">explained</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="only">only</span> <span word="checking">checking</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="time">time</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="figure">figure</span> <span word="out">out</span> <span word="how">how</span> <span word="long">long</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="should">should</span> <span word="spend">spend</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="remaining">remaining</span> <span word="questions">questions</span>. <span word="I">I</span> <span word="dont">dont</span> <span word="think">think</span> <span word="she">she</span> <span word="believed">believed</span> <span word="me">me</span>. <span word="She">She</span> <span word="seems">seems</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="look">look</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="me">me</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="suspicion">suspicion</span>. <span word="I">I</span> <span word="feel">feel</span> <span word="like">like</span> <span word="Im">Im</span> <span word="under">under</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="cloud">cloud</span>.</p><p>这段话意思是：我瞄手机的时候被教授看到了，她觉得我是考试作弊。我解释说，我只是在看表，这样我就能知道我还有多长时间来做完剩下的题。不过，我估计她并不相信。她看我时好像充满了疑心。我觉得自己成了被怀疑的对象。</p>
