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.
) I. n, _) L& Z9 y3 j9 d5 X. k) f' M/ l$ P9 m) E6 Z
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?0 Q7 C& V3 K2 ~
8 V; ^3 X1 D' b
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
7 E7 }2 ~+ F/ D* M
) B& e& ~8 n( @- h1 p: K. uLH: 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......* }' Z2 T7 h3 Y
, z, M& d7 c' [- ]. \) }
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! 6 y( V$ _1 F$ P( C
0 ^/ N$ Y/ z' P& M9 L
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? % R5 C9 g2 {7 T3 ?/ T  R* ^( C

6 [( j4 |% D2 f9 \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.
9 T# `9 s* t/ t+ |2 Z5 t
" _$ N/ F  t& a5 R" B0 gLH: 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?
, D7 Y9 k' [( c8 D5 W2 O, b; o$ \0 y( \: b/ R
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. 7 |0 x# M9 ^! J$ D

) y4 ~4 F: I: }6 RLH: 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? 2 c$ M8 a$ G9 |5 l6 H) a( Y

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? 7 P# v2 {' c, `: [- Y: w

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。9 g6 |! h5 ~2 Z! i" L$ x

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. $ A0 E/ u( J% a8 X

& `: K9 `% z4 S' NLH: 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?  _  [( \$ R, T& E/ h
5 P( I. Z2 e( _) G0 Z% A
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  8 l: W, S: N9 J( K

$ b  [! \" z) {( }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?
& R, H0 n; O3 R' m; ~

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。

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。
