. I& \/ F) u2 E  x; d: bLarry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.
2 k9 L% _0 V! C, Z) ~; q2 K! i' S$ _7 V  p0 M% @
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
8 ^, M- t/ h/ g2 A8 @" U- |7 J8 c! J0 l1 [( ?5 g  j
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
. i! ^& ]* U# D/ O: m# c: h' r- E% t) c9 i3 D
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......; o/ b" \2 d7 S" b8 Y9 N9 h+ ~4 x
: V0 w; |  ^1 W) R
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
1 r7 Y9 f' @1 _  E4 }3 t: X( N4 `2 [. Y  P' |" q- b+ P
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?
) \8 m4 w* }" v4 Q" w1 E! d( B$ S8 `! j, P% H. [
LL: 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.
1 b$ i7 v  v+ G; R/ h1 t6 o' v$ F9 a- \& s+ N) M, l
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?
* A6 k% j6 z+ q6 U; P
+ T! I5 ^& L7 i. r- P- b$ BLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
: M; `( y( Z' ^
7 u+ [% h) Z1 OLH: 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?

" F) O% u  m; c2 aLL: 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. 9 d% |+ u* b# _6 |3 `' m
9 E/ m5 k; L) x3 O
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?
+ {( z/ m$ q# k( C3 _. S* Q5 ?
8 @! ?9 n/ h( r6 O7 E# A" ^, n5 j$ ?) oLL: 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.
" q: [+ W* T; [0 Q/ x  ^1 W* Z
* m6 L. m" Z/ ?: ILH: 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。

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.
7 N6 Y1 S  ]: W" f5 M% ]$ M0 O/ p( @0 A8 Z5 _. y
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? 1 R" Q, ~. w% k+ {( A- M

$ N) T7 f* n3 d& Q6 RLL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit. % S$ o. P. F1 R6 D$ n

; O* s$ F% J! \& [* QLL:You could, but it's a long shot that you'll need it.

LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!
+ g  `* w7 `7 V3 J8 R. U1 {, l! F' j
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. 2 x* y6 W- k& q
* s* x" b2 M1 `& K8 [
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?
# S$ n2 W! e; Y6 ]6 S/ ^" l/ Z# _( [: \! e' g0 s6 n) R3 N# {
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
, O6 o; M5 d9 Y+ D+ q# j, K
: {# ^: j: D. }- GLH: 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? 5 @  x/ A8 W  ]( j
% M) {6 }& A9 L% {& T
LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. % z8 ?- V+ P8 d$ S( f
. j6 b+ c& B" Q+ Z3 I( p
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。
, I7 d  }; V+ ?& [' L! N* f' E
' D* E- B" S  ^; ZLL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
' b. N+ p: Z3 m8 I6 R5 k' C" a4 @4 q" b! W; K
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。

% j2 `9 E7 B. K- ELL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. + t* S! ~& w6 Y: e
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!

' ~( U7 L8 |7 _' Z/ v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。
