Question

shady adj.荫凉的；可疑的 (1) 公园里的凉亭提供了一个荫凉的休息处。(2) 他走到围墙外面，站在一棵荫凉的植物下生气。 The metaphorical meaning of shady has long been embraced by slang. Since at least the 1950's, the phrase "got it made in the shade" means having a great and easy life or job (picture eastern sultans being shaded by servants holding giant leaves). The rap sultan Eminem calls his evil alter-ego "Slim Shady," conjuring up a devilish suggestion of the Prince of Darkness himself — someone who definitely lives in a shady neighborhood.
