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. ( y: ], D) Q, N! f- x; i* }* F

3 W% E& i  g1 I1 y4 ULH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?5 M, }; K+ E( C: |5 B
( i' g, _2 f& t2 F  G  C# Z
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
4 W4 n1 C9 P- _$ y/ w
  t8 E8 i5 w4 Y6 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......$ @! W/ v4 S4 v1 T. T

2 n" W2 \5 V2 C; C; D# w7 b+ uLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! 9 X6 o9 v4 B# r+ h' t$ j3 b5 x% a4 c
3 f. x  g0 Z, t: R
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?
! T0 T& i1 ^4 _  g
! Y$ E7 q$ v3 r4 }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. + {5 Z5 Q, P4 X; H0 M
, `7 k7 b- M2 P, g+ u$ i3 n
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?
0 i$ f! K+ q8 N8 Y% C  i; d/ `- Q, f5 L. o& ]
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. # `) T- J  G' ]0 B

, V  v" x4 |- n2 ^( tLH: 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?
3 v! g/ P& N  f  m: ^: t9 N0 M* ~4 R% T( }1 _
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. , b) \+ R' A2 y8 s

* d& ^& h5 ?/ N+ 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? 0 C/ g" [" G4 K

- U, E+ ~4 b% G# [' u; KLL: 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. 2 Q  u: c# p9 I( N4 G

7 }2 t% j' e! q* W8 ~- ]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。

; U4 r+ j! |& G: k' YLL: It's a long shot that my sister will come home to spend the vacation. She said she's going to Europe this summer.
* A6 }& [. V$ ~! [5 F: H. A" z5 U- s% \" b% v: V
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?
$ f% {0 _4 V6 k* Y* r( j
1 |8 p; D  Y' D# T9 ]LL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit.
8 w  B, v5 n) ?

, L) v  [) B! [) W- }( M  J! M2 Y# t. x% B4 X

& x0 I' {6 L; c4 P8 m) |0 k2 h$ m1 u6 ]LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!
. }# s9 U1 F) d5 T+ {3 J" [3 g+ g( e* ~/ M% @! z+ I
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.
9 u. Q% \% l+ T/ h9 z
% _( @4 w( d5 T  DLH: 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?
0 e/ S, [* f0 C0 K% m
# x1 I- ~, K5 WLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
% k1 E6 H0 p/ e% s: Y/ L9 c+ Y. i0 H1 C
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?
4 m& {6 b. ^5 Q% l$ i
: [0 e/ k# [8 MLL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.
8 G. ^3 Q# L# o/ K7 s, m: ~9 {
8 D: A0 Y0 r4 N) y/ J4 vLH: 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。
1 q* U) A! c& L$ N7 R/ H5 n2 |. b1 Q' |# \
LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it. * x1 Z" K1 i3 r! u3 J  ^7 W" g% j

& y9 C$ H/ C1 ]1 lLH: 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。 2 {+ S3 Q( Z" x' v7 l

' j: V; A3 t" u1 I0 I1 aLL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. 8 w3 c( {; o) S
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。
