LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
: M+ p3 Q+ T3 M3 e. G
1 W$ M) a" D/ G! T/ mLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
7 @, D4 [: i% ^, d& m  p0 Q$ L& F% Z8 l
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......
- A! r: |" `+ V2 W
- @6 k8 @  w5 x, e) P$ oLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
( j/ m- B$ W/ |, u3 s" g4 @6 f/ I5 w: l
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 S' y& d' @3 u4 e: a9 f; C
* @! Q5 B/ x1 cLL: 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. . s! y8 d. D- H3 T1 r' H1 B" q! `+ r

+ f# C, I/ m- j1 [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?
) E0 x8 Y5 f' l+ y. I% h" `. T1 s; w9 P  K. ]; q( `$ v
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. 3 Q% N3 e% R! D: r

/ D5 q& G2 P( J* Q* d7 m, }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? 9 [) @) U4 F' t; a  `& s3 n5 H

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. + e& B+ f& z, T; }$ `$ w  a

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.

" m1 ~) I- f1 q, j  Q, ILH: 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?
5 n4 s: X+ J& Y  W; f8 S0 r
) V% s! c' S" X# J& f1 R" mLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
" _( @3 A; l  G3 b8 o% d8 ^. H/ n( y) _2 o$ f
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?

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。
