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. / D6 l; E3 b6 d) m# N, Q
2 |: K9 _$ G9 f0 `
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
* v1 u3 T8 i* @5 v$ Y+ A7 A. ^. D% u1 V- V$ D- O* W" f
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
- j+ x0 Y) Q' Q4 S& s0 T. n5 j; j! O* b" U& C
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......+ u6 r+ C% S/ V* ?4 f

, m0 S- @  u3 ^. g" l# wLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
- Z% q" m* o, \' \9 `9 V
9 J, z6 C9 W$ `/ N  K- DLH: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?
9 \, W# C: b8 a9 ?- ?9 d: W0 _" M/ O- g. p
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.
6 B: G4 C0 j$ k8 H0 Q( L9 A& o
" ~8 d. i$ X& H/ M* |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? " m, s7 J6 z/ d5 D3 L

" s9 ~8 p1 w8 dLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. 8 j. s# i* _. w1 j
' {0 E+ E2 ^: h6 F) A! ~8 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?
9 l1 L2 Z7 w' D, A: o9 r# L$ ^0 t( W! B( |9 w
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 f5 [' f: S1 V' P4 L/ q- r: ^' U

# L8 A( r2 ^) M% O8 }! {
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。2 o5 z5 W% O9 t  L( z

  O. a/ f3 c# K5 ?' o! cLL: It's a long shot that my sister will come home to spend the vacation. She said she's going to Europe this summer.
# O$ F! i8 M2 ~/ J5 e
/ g# k0 T; Y' A( ^' {4 I8 S/ RLH: 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?

LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了! : {; J. Z, j8 V( f7 V  \' ]* s2 l

0 W3 I3 Y+ {- ?- E+ B4 aLL: 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.
- D8 e7 |+ l) x7 d, d9 ~% y! I2 h  p: a" {9 ?7 n/ F
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?
- }$ k& W: |0 }# @1 O! r
9 k2 z8 J6 o' O) @; J3 dLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
3 }, a. y9 a( O# h! w! h
, J9 [! D. m0 P* l5 U# ^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? & o$ b) H9 k/ x- B

! w3 L; n7 F8 MLL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.
# [0 \" U) P+ L* @; }: b) E+ G8 V; M% ]9 N
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。

LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it. # N7 s# h( l$ r0 y' `

" ~, K; Q( v0 f% d) c4 B; FLH: 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。
  W) j" P0 [' a1 c4 _
8 P( a6 M( y+ I" F- Z/ PLL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.   l, s- a: {3 m. U
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!  " @7 j) H5 ~# o& H

0 A& D  Q# j  N: K" W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。
