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.
) J. N  t0 i& I
% u% l! i2 Q/ `9 NLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
/ M6 v6 n& J" e5 h: D
3 S9 u  y7 i, ~7 j" j3 VLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. - K8 o+ w' i) D

- ^; e  t7 z5 U$ D5 l' TLH: 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......: K6 n" v& i2 z  J1 }4 Z

: D' u$ O  m: n5 [+ o' aLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! : h3 K& l3 k* f
8 c  O5 O/ z6 M; O( {8 W2 d+ G
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?
( j9 h! d& v; I8 e7 [; l
! T, v# g3 U/ b  B7 V! v% C- sLL: 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.
, S; [5 t) U4 L6 R( i. }+ M
& _8 J7 F9 K, x! j; d3 FLH: 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? 1 `. ]  h( q% K, y
1 ~0 _1 o  r8 I
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
- k0 ?' q* _7 \0 Q
$ H$ j9 n5 O; R  `! Q9 aLH: 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? % A' C; M. A) B4 _8 T( g
, S" @9 f0 R) P1 J3 v- |
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. & e" }# b2 d/ S

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?
  s% u' j8 b" t1 Q  z7 r7 \+ ]  r6 H' ^8 a
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. 4 B2 e3 C4 x: Q( G$ B- s6 s
  {7 s; n& `2 q3 D7 R8 T
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。" V# b+ m+ j  b, Q

& j) N! [" @6 Q0 u) s  w
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?
- Z  N$ }& b- i" P$ {

) s9 Q- c4 K- h  L& |$ P  i) HLL: 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 C. h, n, `) n! S8 [3 g% I% k, `& s. i6 F2 I" N* @0 y2 Y# ]/ e
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?6 n' p1 l7 n' G9 k: u

* U8 ^! e" I& s) zLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  2 p% D& M0 K! @$ b9 z

! E8 g5 y0 \" Z$ jLH: 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? 1 g  y+ c! @% M3 c  k6 P

& E8 `& Z! e) {* [% zLL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. * l. h# @+ _6 J/ I2 Z8 I% i

5 ]/ y, j4 m2 q6 D, o+ I( QLH: 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。
- ~# b+ O& N0 F& P- j0 f4 n4 r' W# v, {# `: F. |2 l
LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
: X1 J/ p/ V( W- w' l: v! a8 T% ^- f. d4 S: m! ~) h8 A
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。 : \/ H; d0 A- O" F

LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.
# G6 e" f- @! t+ z) g  H- _3 iLH: 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!  ( n2 h; k0 M& r% p2 T: R
