' O- Z8 T- h, c, G4 K) s' R# P  xLarry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.
8 y4 M1 L! Z0 X) p0 \& W9 A1 b+ k  m3 M1 ~# x
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?. ^8 R0 I: P: e" _
4 d# Y: k+ q% K& M/ y( B
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. 7 W0 `  p4 O: X: z

- N$ ^. E$ P7 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......, }7 \4 M3 q, c

- \8 H7 l' Q) W* D( P3 ZLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
5 `4 m5 ^/ p) A/ L& ]
% b- |$ H$ O; H9 _* ~6 o% 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? ( P% G. d! y6 W4 v: I' R# U$ i) F
5 \( X+ b& D* v
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. - E  i5 V, ^1 z+ I+ j% j
$ l8 E4 h( a& G$ g' N- x7 u
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?
+ @8 T( A4 T, w/ C% d. P
0 P& }  n) D3 k; `: sLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. 0 q9 U0 h9 O; Q7 c) K! D

4 t9 J1 r; v1 n, ^* a" YLH: 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? 7 c* I& ^: c% ?4 [! a6 i* v. M
* Y/ ]0 {; M; s8 I1 m1 f
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.
$ a) ~# A( `$ v2 G9 d! ?2 ~& J! k; \3 _$ U6 l3 ]8 ~
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?
3 A3 y! b: g; \  N1 z4 }3 I! ?
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.
7 T& ?: o2 F9 ?( @4 W  f) p2 C" x& f( S# _
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。

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.
6 r! Q: a, v* V3 M  _
+ V1 n. _- r6 B; ~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?

LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!
' P2 J1 D7 ^) y' B  C+ ?7 [! S0 J7 C8 H) Q+ \+ @" h+ q1 C  E- u
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. - c8 S9 c2 L/ ~* }# c

& X8 _$ z. e5 U$ f# P  P! VLH: 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?
% _! j( t+ ~- V2 K/ V
1 A" ?* F% T( V! u+ d# ~" Y/ h  FLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
+ @) ], b" ^: p8 Z2 g* S. g
) P1 v7 n- ~7 [! D3 i& }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? 8 i/ Z1 M  V3 Y5 D' R* j% ?

! W% N/ j* \0 R4 e& I4 uLL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.
2 o/ G) \  r7 |1 l! Z* W) R7 Z4 L+ E. h
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. * ?# N$ l, \8 {

, l6 Q- B7 ?4 u- Y9 g) H4 E' ]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 y+ V5 |+ l9 {4 k8 i

! C" I6 I" \: k7 N% T! bLL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.
2 S0 P% E& [: i4 ALH: 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!

$ f1 S% {: O6 [6 jLL: That's right!
' X$ h( R  L) J% G2 q
5 T9 o* K4 v' O5 _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。
