1 v1 x; U+ e, H( [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.
' y( r7 z3 R0 d0 w. m) I. D& i0 w( f+ n$ P2 i" ?9 w) c
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?3 k  w7 R, d: v( }+ r" D0 i
; ^0 g9 V5 t! \/ q' }
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
. U, w7 ~3 k( S- s  Y
3 a- M# F) U7 \5 lLH: 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......- v+ ?0 x; E6 g8 P% @- \
6 d' `5 \+ b5 s2 E7 X6 b" w. v/ Z( E* y
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! 8 @- E" J, f! W$ U" R% t- L

/ ?$ k. B" a8 _' {8 [& M, RLH: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?
" i8 {8 T( S0 p$ O4 l( \: S% Q
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. # }, K8 @2 m: d2 q1 |2 {
& D4 F; b0 O  m& p5 R
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?
3 M% |( @4 i1 @4 c. Z
4 H! R9 {# g( {: b( Q/ GLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
* e* m* V+ }% S1 b+ C' H
+ f" M0 Q  B& ?/ p. S1 l1 K% \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? 2 X) F0 G0 J7 m

" G' i/ {* v' OLL: 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.

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?
7 _  p- X5 P  P2 o/ G. |/ I& r/ B# e) ]$ z6 |
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.
* t9 s- C" J0 p9 @# c, @' g& I- X/ ]% A/ E0 D8 _" `8 h
LH: 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。* w: b0 O& ^4 \( j' E  X

1 o( M* U8 {( W; P$ b. fLL: It's a long shot that my sister will come home to spend the vacation. She said she's going to Europe this summer.

6 D6 q, M4 `5 c/ s% [6 ^1 xLL: 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.
* ]3 K- f: U; E# H2 k2 c& X! y- W6 ^! ~+ b9 h7 D$ e
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?
  R+ m! m( U% M4 L; I. d2 U- ]! q0 c
  g0 p; m. N& h0 X: jLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  $ g# [$ T! d& E6 }- d- `1 x

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? ( C2 |! D8 [% O

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。 6 p$ p1 X, A  `- l' [

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!

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。
