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. : v/ U! M! t( U/ O" c, |0 M% u

3 U" Q2 A, m( Y  tLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
  ]( z' A; }- ]. b1 O% R* ~* P4 B! W$ Y9 e! L# O
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
- z; ^- _' [* I9 n* a6 S2 |+ m5 s7 S8 {$ i0 t& F
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......0 B# k& [; _% Z; C9 w1 g+ q

* f2 w" _, F" |$ w& f( M, Q( v7 {6 aLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
- f- J3 M; P, b. I2 p3 h- c4 M4 f3 @, b+ I+ `  T  B
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? / S' J) M. f2 Y2 D: O/ ~: R6 W
3 H: K# i" U% D; H8 b+ k
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. ; `6 C& K/ O" r3 B0 z  \4 P# o
, |  v- g/ ^5 ^9 D: Y( |/ _% V3 Z
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? 5 J' m% u% t8 T( t+ u- |$ Y* t

8 |) V3 C# _  f8 C2 E+ `7 XLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
$ H# g2 |5 C6 I/ E4 ~1 R6 r% C9 B, c2 `: P
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? ' w6 E6 M1 T" j$ l3 h: s/ V3 M

6 y6 g8 i* T/ S7 x$ [" R$ O% g- }" H/ J( J, o
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.
- Q4 s4 U+ t' E8 B
3 k1 c  l. V) ^% G- gLH: 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。

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.
; Y  H+ a9 [6 k0 `9 v7 `
1 d6 ]: ?! u1 p+ \" oLH: 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?7 d6 d; z5 H5 N! W  j
1 Q; z( J8 I0 f6 K
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  ; n5 I- `2 ]- T4 }

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? # b# X9 ~1 Y" K& t1 L

LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. * W* U, L) J4 |6 f$ j, l0 |

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。
