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. & b* f1 z0 n( B- a. n1 S# i( A
% J3 Y2 Z" y, y/ y
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?. L  f: ^! H3 k

LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. 9 P" g( i4 p0 q) z. N: ]
2 I+ P- o. J+ K) o. ]7 n% M& K" U! |
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......2 B8 k7 d/ i) q, h: v

& g; L& v7 `1 D4 jLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
9 d; u  |6 h/ V* n$ x' |; R7 {) j' S: R7 [. J0 h3 `9 W
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?
8 b& O* g; e" y% o3 }! b( j3 T/ e) c' F5 l4 b9 }
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. # e6 L( ~# S0 Z! T

- B! M& j$ e- b8 T* ?" C8 R; J) oLH: 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?
$ j5 n7 U2 Q8 [# l1 D. `
6 j1 a! u$ ^; h; _2 kLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. $ o3 \0 b& u7 v2 U: p) K# q
8 A6 A6 c' S6 a$ l: j' n$ |
LH: 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?

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。6 ^1 [3 C$ F; @: g

( `; B4 W8 T3 ~. I3 WLH: 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?

, b+ _5 p8 X7 t  D  NLL: 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. " L. O. c% K) X: }: N3 Y
8 T4 z9 r3 ~% q( ^8 t1 ~0 z: r
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?
  H; ~$ c; N+ d* W, Q4 Z# c' Y- A
3 S; V5 P! z; n$ m; A+ ]LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  ; g* [) o' T* r, ]9 X7 P

6 k% a+ ^5 ~# O, ULH: 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? , r0 {; q  j* l- N7 f8 l

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。

2 a* b8 ?+ u' h! f, rLL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
% x9 i, U3 a" _
2 k5 s) o7 h2 Y- zLH: 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。

- e: @" Z' Q3 {. f" `LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. $ g7 C: S! k3 J' T3 F# j4 B
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!  ) P5 s$ q& a; m

5 {0 [  S$ j. m. g; A$ W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。
