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.
7 O& [3 ?" ~+ |: g( v' L6 x  M9 r  Q1 }, ]( v6 p( |
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?' `: N, o/ c* n; q+ j$ y, {! Q  w: |6 B

( x! `/ r/ ]1 v$ e5 [! J1 RLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
$ n8 L5 D7 k7 _6 `
- U2 p1 T) t7 M( ALH: 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......# c0 N- l% M3 v, X0 W
& J) ?% r; x: G# S$ s. D
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
& _3 `9 P& K, S' ^4 J3 O7 B8 I+ n" C/ e2 V% F, B+ q
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? . i( e4 `; h1 z! X

- N" u. y5 r% Q6 FLL: 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.   m4 U2 i2 M* ]6 ^

5 E* ?3 w& p6 M" L& BLH: 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?
% `5 e! y7 ^2 `6 V3 y
+ W( g* Q" c  z9 ?- @( ]# ELL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. - D; r& K8 y$ b! Y8 i7 X7 V
8 U+ r3 A6 J8 _8 e7 T7 p
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?
6 k8 _( k$ }, q0 H0 L! S- b/ C" ?. D& c8 X
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.
3 l& ~" Q: D6 ]! `0 {3 K0 y8 }( L% L7 q# L
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? 5 S+ D- }/ a+ ?! X4 X4 S2 |
$ u- `0 s" v4 L
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.
( M9 T. ?$ G" ?% Z1 L9 B% C- t# w
* s; b+ T! m8 S% qLH: 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。1 T' P5 b* B3 o9 `; B/ K2 U( D

3 b1 Z9 E& b$ mLH: 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?
$ F( a4 N; A0 h5 u4 D4 L1 O$ B$ ~- U- ~+ v" ~

LH: 那么,要不要带件毛衣呀?

LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!
" u# _/ w( j! @% r7 p! [- m; p+ ~  z" y# H8 F
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 y0 h6 c* U; _/ i& I7 Y
2 N$ H- n4 T. c) oLH: 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?% ^9 R  e7 n& S: I% ^

5 [& d1 v% l; aLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
/ s, @: I8 ^# d( w' ~% @7 Q8 b% ~, L* n; W
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?
1 C; D% S6 m. a# ~
7 k9 P( U( y1 y# ^4 Q! KLL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.

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。
" W+ D, j1 T4 |/ c
7 Q1 N- r/ V2 c  G1 LLL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
7 |2 O; ?6 N- c- K8 H, l/ r( P1 h% O' 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。

* ?! o' U# ~8 t) q: c  I6 `: iLL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. # a0 f' Q6 M- `1 H  ~0 w
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!  9 r$ w/ ?9 ?+ @! X& K* x2 J

# z9 C+ P8 t, j8 F0 i
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。
