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. : k4 k" w% V' [- I2 r1 T, m( e
8 ~9 T2 D- ?% T4 j. e+ K$ z
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?. G5 |& s" q, f4 d0 B
% U7 h( v: \7 h* [( K% w
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
: |6 ?2 |0 H' g- j" Q: k
, Y4 P9 x# m7 |9 j/ K8 O# J; Z6 _4 xLH: 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......
# b8 r$ j) Y% V4 z! V0 G" s7 W- U9 ]" ], v' t' |# w$ S" w
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
8 `$ m4 N( {5 L- q) O: p) b; F( N1 \4 W  @2 Y
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?
9 r/ z! h7 T+ \5 \; i9 t
: ]- @+ r% b+ w& V5 F" s0 z0 KLL: 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.
/ ~  Z; h- Q7 W! X: D$ U, B6 F
, O/ @" K: d& C# H7 ZLH: 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?
  o7 \; O3 O+ I$ u7 Z
6 t; _! a9 h! ~- ZLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
7 O# `! q# D6 C+ k9 o
4 ~  X4 R2 X/ J, U: u! uLH: 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? $ y( r" Q5 V+ z* S; k# k$ K

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.
2 B; A2 R, r: i! w7 J3 \( P3 s8 L: p! ?% ]" @* \
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?

* x. C" I2 a1 x; NLL: 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.
- p# S  I8 G* _/ ^1 P, w6 s$ P) k. P- t. y! {2 u+ V& r7 e  j
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。

5 G" O; M# A2 o' n
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?

1 u* B* P  b6 ?' d& C9 ?" gLL: 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 X# p# U/ W4 R7 S1 @% G
" S/ z0 Z+ d5 |) |, f, m8 rLH: 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?" W0 T  d+ _7 E

' h2 p; a2 u% `$ O, K7 ]LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
0 c: c: o- J% j  |- s9 ]
  C  W+ f: U2 g9 s( w6 S5 H+ yLH: 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? 3 I8 c% L* P; v$ \$ O4 u9 k0 {9 c

LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. + q/ @1 P- `; i$ b$ m- g

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。
9 I+ y* W2 w+ M! N) u1 s0 n- p+ @. C3 m' E9 X- N3 F
LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it. 4 e; }6 Y6 {8 K* h0 y9 T! r4 b' W

: R. f/ i# |7 u$ j$ _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。
7 R3 o1 O, E- j/ E
, m, X# G3 k; I8 h+ SLL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. & r5 {" s$ a* L4 Y  o# z
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!  
, f, ]0 s/ a2 l+ p" J  g2 C7 D( m  o4 D; K# i
LL: That's right! 3 y2 x9 y* v0 P$ `7 _

' g% J+ }0 T, C8 [2 H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。
