Larry和李华正在讨论暑假期间做什么。李华建议邀请一些朋友一块儿去露营。今天李华会学到两个常用语:long shot和the buzz.
1 J1 C8 S. ~, P) k% j2 x8 n) u: \% t/ e3 |2 r4 Q2 Q1 P2 h
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?; K! P8 e: e; V1 a/ a& @3 Z

6 ^: @& S) G8 O$ P7 j# nLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. / Z4 b; N! H  Q
$ k' T( T- f) V  e
LH: 那倒也是,他们可能已经计划好了暑期活动。不过,这跟long shot有什么关系哪? Shot是射击。我邀他们去露营,不是去打猎......
1 S4 ]8 V9 z' S1 [4 x! Z; i1 o  U7 x* c! H' I
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
- E4 `1 a; n! x' O$ G% t/ b/ e, j# a5 L* y+ l/ O* y/ X1 s
LH:等等,我知道了。你的意思是,他们已经有计划了,所以不太可能和我们去露营,long shot就是不太可能,是不是?
1 v" L( S5 N3 B/ _/ t6 l$ k
/ g, K  ^  x4 HLL: That's exactly what it means. A "long shot" is something that is not likely to happen or there is only a small possibility of success. 7 Q: @  x# Q; F; @( l& U+ m6 b
; |" o+ y/ s1 l# W$ A
LH: 你看,我猜对了吧! Long shot是指不太可能的事。要不我们可以加入他们的活动啊? % X8 F1 }, _# O9 N8 E
! ^& s) k6 j* o/ R$ j; G2 h2 J
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
/ O+ e1 O- u4 ?7 |% u( P( Q! U5 G2 ~- g6 H0 g& u6 x
LH: 是吗?现在已经不太可能订到机票和旅馆啦?那...还有什么是可能的,而不是long shot呢?
0 y5 g6 [1 ]. z4 _6 u, L3 {6 `! P' Z; C5 a. C
LL: We could spend the vacation with my family at my parent's lake house. I'm pretty sure that my parents would be happy to join us there.

/ x& A6 Y. u( B/ \LH: 哇!到你爸文明用语湖边别墅去度假,还能见到你爸爸妈妈。那真是太好了。Larry,你怎么没早点想到这个好计划嘛?
' ]* d* S( ?8 ^* i1 y' J' ]( U4 @$ d% u) e
LL: Well, I thought it was a long shot that you'd be willing to spend your vacation with my family. My parents sometimes could be boring.
9 n. ~. o3 {3 _6 t8 m- M. ~
& y+ j$ K. q$ E) I8 Q, c3 A8 wLH: 怎么会呢?我很喜欢你爸爸妈妈。他们很和善,也很风趣。你妹妹也是个很有意思的人。我想我们会玩得很开心的。+ e5 B% e! Y# G( t+ v

, N  O; ^/ d  u/ ^LL: It's a long shot that my sister will come home to spend the vacation. She said she's going to Europe this summer.
' W/ O5 f; Z) s# B" ]8 e/ [: u# m' j, K
LH: 噢,她要去欧洲呀?我也很想去,但是现在没钱。Larry,暑假去你们家,我们会不会到湖里游泳啊?我要不要带游泳衣呀?
" C7 t- Z6 J$ w! X3 A
9 \5 {$ o6 b% v6 |2 Y) s4 }7 oLL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit. * ~. V5 m* d% n1 v5 h- v4 t

5 V) Y1 U+ O( C7 h  f+ t# `2 m% }' r. ?- G/ D
****** ; r' h* D. a9 F; Z% y
LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!
* m# k) ~3 v8 b7 \$ F" V6 B' a( q# x3 G$ ]" ~0 ?; a3 k
LL: Yep. I'm all packed. I decided to bring some new movies with us to watch, too, including a new horror movie. The buzz is that it's really scary.
7 S) q: ]+ n9 f5 m0 i# {5 o* s! K) M+ `
LH: 你还带了电影哪?太好了,不过我可不爱看恐怖电影。对了,Larry,你刚才说,the buzz is...,什么是the buzz?
+ t9 F2 f+ O7 d7 w+ _
/ n/ S/ {: m3 T, F7 d8 r/ oLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  6 J4 y9 Y+ i8 u- o, ]1 I! R
% J9 T. T; T8 e! a8 I! Z
LH: 噢,buzz就是指大家谈论的话题,所以你的意思是大家都在说这部电影很可怕,是不是?
# X2 I  G- Y9 A8 O1 H+ \4 h& n# s3 c5 `" P
LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. 4 A* o. ?" K2 y' E+ Q" z) [5 X
. \9 I) d3 `5 Y- |* b
LH: 真的,你还带来了Tom Cruise最新的电影。Larry,谢谢你!最近大家都在谈论,那就是: The buzz is Tom Cruise又有新女朋友了。
- O- G4 x) X9 [2 I8 z, y: v4 v4 |3 E3 C7 u% F
LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it. 3 I' H# _# S1 u' w
2 M& @2 j) s3 J
LH: 我对关于名人的传说通常也不太感兴趣。但是,Tom Cruise是我喜欢的电影明星,所以有关他的事,我是比较注意的。
3 \% f3 Z" K, G% z- |2 R8 g( W$ ^0 E' B. ~
LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. ) k! P0 ^. N6 @* _& v
LH: 没错,那些媒体的报道对他们的婚姻不但没有什么好处,甚至还可能间接地破坏了他们的婚姻呢!  , R' z  ?# ~% W/ E" b- j
1 q7 [1 G2 h  m" M
LL: That's right! 8 R, X4 K8 S2 y8 s/ }. h: P

2 k$ \# `8 j+ R! ?' O7 l; g6 U2 T今天李华学到两个常用语。第一个是long shot,是形容某件事不太可能发生,机会不大。另一个常用语是the buzz,是指大家对某人或某事的谈论。
