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.
3 H. Y/ Y; ~3 J: J1 ]. S
7 o( k0 n! O' \/ N5 x3 |LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
8 G1 X: l  d+ C0 U$ Z5 f( M; a
) K2 Q1 k* o& I8 GLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
$ Q# n; Y% o+ g5 _2 J& W# F* s% @- P# @! w# x2 J  D8 H# f
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......$ t9 \2 V( l" H6 Z
+ h$ H/ m: e" `8 @2 t7 q% E. B) z
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! # I" b* b( g8 y" F% y
4 z2 R3 M- {0 w) ]# X5 ]6 O
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?   Z. R( d& j& P  a$ h# ?5 _
( p- C1 O' q  g) s1 v' x; U: e
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. + p/ Y7 E) K7 t0 B& b& N

7 C& |$ _, K6 A* i' SLH: 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? / ^' t6 z, Z& m& g2 H+ Q8 n3 l: T. O
  @1 d6 F0 @2 i+ e$ @' }" i% X! _3 D
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
6 ?# p$ V0 a# w: i3 a$ W) n; S
% i1 a( V4 Z4 m6 _# CLH: 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?

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. 3 S7 _4 g/ g4 l# @9 r; V
( I  d1 n8 }4 t# N' `
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。

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?

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. 5 e7 _% o" l5 ^0 M' _4 I
/ i! P  P( k# i. Z, C' n
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?  ^9 X1 O/ y9 |# B9 x4 v' o/ n
% ~# D# O# @4 |( u
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
4 w! Z  f% F& y% ~2 Q" N1 q! }3 G% b9 V7 `4 P
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? ) v5 h8 A* y! y

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。 % F7 U9 z5 T  j, A! t( E

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。
