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.
( B- `) G+ e, l7 ]7 @6 |+ w; o% y) T9 ]$ j% j  ?( ]) L
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?  c% n) V, x7 N$ l: }
; Q! {( u' Q- _1 u
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
9 s$ {6 Q  p* v" Z3 P- o( q. Y* K# ?# ]4 _( x. m7 v
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......4 s/ J, r0 C6 w# ~: b  d( U

. s, e( }7 T8 c# ?' iLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
: T, N2 D# g2 R! w5 u8 h1 x
$ r0 |; ]0 a/ s; Q: f  ]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?
7 C9 l# g% }! q. {6 c0 y3 S" o8 J+ H# P8 ?" ~+ W+ G
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' S) y* c0 B2 b$ V) [, {7 y/ t- w
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?
5 q3 |9 r8 w! N/ X" Y5 A9 P: P
+ }3 j+ ?, \2 K8 }! _# wLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. 3 E, C- n& g/ T" t6 p

$ [; o( M9 D% `5 Q% W7 `; W2 U* sLH: 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? - |: Z$ O! k  X" `

3 {9 {2 I' {9 Y! @- x; H, l  ILL: 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 l0 o4 x) B; d( u9 e7 w" O8 G6 g

3 p6 s; i) v, [3 t+ I, qLH: 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?
: K" W# ^$ I9 w% f- W: N: Y7 l9 i) S
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.
$ t3 I8 e, k' f6 R9 T* _9 M
3 Q6 }0 ~2 Z5 C: X# @. B" JLH: 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。
: N" H6 ?: V; B# E3 b7 y0 y& w
7 }. n5 C! A6 K" |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. $ L1 Z8 ?" L% `. e8 [9 |7 t& k

0 Y+ _- ?% X% e* ?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?
4 w, A0 Y- R9 i5 D) T
2 a  h3 {, h" U! e& H3 e: oLL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit. & d  |+ I- ~3 l1 J

* _6 L+ Z( R& M* I$ k/ G  SLH: 那么,要不要带件毛衣呀?  5 w) [1 V( Q" j% U2 S/ \7 X

4 Z+ R/ Y* }1 y, f7 N$ CLL:You could, but it's a long shot that you'll need it. 4 \1 v, e5 A$ Y2 T

6 V0 J) F' Q, f8 }' _* zLH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!
" f+ j8 T$ `, V' `! G' ?0 I2 R/ v! j3 [/ y8 e/ z
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.
3 I7 D& l0 w! f' h  p9 d
9 ]" @  q: x( g+ ELH: 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?
2 [* [2 ]; @' W5 ?( \/ }: k
* i0 ]# [: q) B3 J8 o7 J# D# gLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  4 q7 K0 x$ B* o+ ]' d: m

5 H$ M1 g9 ?( J. _- nLH: 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?
( ]" H% e) X4 J! _  v( M4 p4 B. B
: K7 ~$ E1 p$ f& t1 I2 LLL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.
( z4 x  c2 w2 P* |4 P5 {0 V4 A
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。 & P5 A9 c$ T, M7 [1 Z
1 L$ |* a1 v- l
LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
1 B# p& B  \, Q! c4 R7 ]5 Y- U# l7 i3 W. m4 g) k: p& y, 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。 + {5 F' L$ H; F

3 e6 J: K  {; a) WLL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. " F8 ]; p0 r2 t$ A* {/ n& y
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!  
" c- k% u" ~8 \
8 W5 m* Q$ a3 o% [% lLL: That's right! 2 f. H+ ?1 f& ^. L! C  n+ \

8 u% k6 b& r, ^8 E& [- o- U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。
