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.
9 {1 E. C& j, \1 [/ w/ C6 h! P
7 D- G. t0 c/ p. R- \- ZLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?8 }4 C* n8 g0 O/ C8 }! k8 W, {) p

/ b% a6 [/ S; JLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
5 _: C+ X0 v4 ]% p5 |: V/ N& E5 @& i) v3 G/ J8 {% i
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......
1 M! H$ w; [- z4 ?9 N
! _2 {/ ?" T6 p' tLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! 2 g  D5 m) C  C' n! H1 k( B

3 u8 w; x4 I2 {2 l+ z# i& @# R9 xLH: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?
% g; _: D6 A' b) Q5 ]( ]- K) _* `: a+ h$ y
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.
1 U# w. G5 c! W! |/ Z3 z0 ^+ w+ q$ D: l4 O
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? , u: |1 ^" ]( ^3 C* y
' I: p9 H: u5 w* a: u& a3 x
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
. w, W! d  \, e0 ~
: g+ S* D- O* Y/ L# q& SLH: 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?
( b2 J: G/ }8 Q; w
  v7 y4 p% f. v3 M) \) ]' v3 `" T9 pLL: 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.

) K3 J1 _+ U$ H. f2 t6 ?: D8 RLH: 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? . x! J2 s  O, K

2 ]7 {$ K; i! a& w, Z/ `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. 8 n9 D, L  n6 d( v3 D
" X: N) q2 W2 q8 C; i
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。
3 J. M7 x8 @+ p
& s/ X& b8 e# Z* k! Y* e. dLL: It's a long shot that my sister will come home to spend the vacation. She said she's going to Europe this summer.
9 C( G3 z) S8 ~) T4 x! I4 Z( `& l9 R
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? ! J% ^( V( [  q0 M9 n

. A% u: F) t+ C+ L2 jLH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!
+ g9 B* _0 H4 S- y( Z
9 E+ s+ N  z0 D0 G" B" B; ^* 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. 4 P. n: v  l* t, i" I  b4 _

- p+ A/ b+ H* y5 `$ J8 RLH: 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?
3 K- X( s* d6 s! [; G
1 k, {9 s( l- l, x" OLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  3 V( C6 c9 P: i
8 b5 |# ~, t: v( ]
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?
1 Z- T- R, @, G# M+ L, X  J8 A% ?4 F6 y1 H, A, {! Z
LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. 9 E0 `- |  P1 Y- v8 k5 z6 [. Y& 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。 ' D0 }0 l( B  `- h
# z3 l4 C2 h5 U0 ~4 Y6 t9 [
LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
% L1 C& J  d) A& e
9 E3 g& Q+ t, {  Q1 QLH: 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。 * D' F! {4 I1 K
$ v. `' C5 m0 a! ^
LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.
& J4 g9 S' V' x4 i# _9 NLH: 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!  
) C- d+ [2 p, W, K) d3 r& T

4 Y& j3 a/ |5 b3 c' L9 y: K9 k
; W- z7 J7 D) _, u# K# V' n. f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。
