* P% e9 u. C$ ]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.
0 k8 f; J, Z' M8 |
' c/ V: O* B( L/ K' C* cLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?% i. u8 b1 o: S. F% I) s) a

! X% ]( ~/ P& J! o  q! |LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. : p+ E5 H3 `+ G. m' I2 m

! z/ P) @( C: }" o( x8 l" iLH: 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....../ ~, t. z- M# G/ i$ J3 m% \
0 m3 a* v1 h$ I. F7 V6 U
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!   v( R! j6 a1 k$ i

( ]: t8 M- E2 K& v# l1 K* K/ \$ nLH: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?
3 [# j, S# d$ k7 g/ ?3 U8 p6 L( r$ j+ ]+ O5 g4 C) ?
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.
! R" _% r, z& s, u: B: O9 ]( j7 ^% m, J% c: {! m5 Y+ d
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? ) N; {) c# ?+ L

( O$ J" L! H7 U8 `* pLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
0 P; e) c, k# ?/ N% b8 V
; f4 L8 _. d3 w- kLH: 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? 6 o. o- D! r+ X

! J1 S  y2 I* u4 s  v! a4 b2 XLL: 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. ( `1 `: E( M; m! c3 C" I+ t1 e" F9 O

0 b0 X+ k, ?3 t' p9 BLH: 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? $ v+ S$ `: M4 N% ~9 [

3 q, V3 z' l( W4 fLL: 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.
/ g! N4 S6 [1 H
/ ~* c! l+ X2 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。

& k7 v" [2 U- X& x! zLH: 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?   |' k/ B0 U; t+ d* c. j

% L. n7 l2 E% W5 ?/ dLH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了! 2 L& B4 z2 ~% ~2 s
& w4 F$ u0 {6 k4 \, ^
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.
  K, Y! ^' z0 {, k
" E9 k2 ]: [& ~4 kLH: 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?, t" w3 }7 z$ J" o

& P. R( y. @7 G9 y: m1 {LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
0 x' [+ w5 l& ~* p3 j( `; ~
3 W. c, v* d5 }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?
( R: M( d0 u* ^7 y# \1 Y
. g5 z1 ?- U; y0 Y) l4 VLL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. ! c; s+ y( t/ b8 J5 b( e( S5 T6 i9 j

; L; m  ?' t4 `3 c( x' ?, i, A5 GLH: 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。 " t# C; j+ ^' K2 v! ^

4 T6 W6 O3 t0 O2 t0 B7 cLL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it. & A6 D+ X8 \# W5 D  W$ x& B

1 _; p0 X& ?7 I- v1 h$ I9 DLH: 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。

7 _) s) u9 `1 E6 Q1 O: p. B7 l0 I* ~LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. 9 x( o* z  s' x/ m6 ?3 t4 ?$ y  c
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!  ! V" [1 V! q8 F8 {; O

$ P3 a4 m1 Z1 @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。
