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. 4 N- _! I" T* [* A& `
" G) _3 g( z1 J/ {* j5 W3 V
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
" M, L, J. f0 O; M
1 x# O' K) S# w* v5 J) LLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
' [1 p2 Z" ?, M, r7 s6 b& R; M5 i2 l: s! c
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......: q% q; R. R2 `6 S8 h' O$ M
/ o/ p3 \& f& r$ q
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
# E/ P4 x! |2 a# D8 S9 F8 H7 _+ D
3 i4 c! `% E/ K: c+ ]0 Q: @: ^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? 1 v* M: s1 W& Z  b0 v
, r& W9 g( ~  [3 o* J
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.
: ~, u& x) L$ w9 v3 h: Q/ u. |" f( t8 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?
" q5 {4 J4 z3 {$ |( k, `- K
4 |5 i1 y2 w, C8 {1 h4 _LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. 5 E- U2 _& N8 n& B5 t$ ^: s
+ \0 `0 _/ N* n4 R7 ^3 [9 N4 x
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? - b7 @/ Z3 R- f# b) E1 L- @
* D, c0 o0 y* D  ]' q, d3 F
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. + N+ Y) U% R4 C
$ |0 W& |3 `/ ]3 C/ T( ]. g' R
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? ; N0 v2 n* N# L" T! [9 s3 ^; y' {

0 u% ]9 E( }% @. B, iLL: 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.
9 E5 E* B, O) E% a7 [- o" {5 w  Z0 T: K: V  Y1 D1 u6 r
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。
# o3 D: |& F1 ?" N- V; z; u! m2 K* Z' s- S* e) B! r: b  `! {
LL: It's a long shot that my sister will come home to spend the vacation. She said she's going to Europe this summer. - h8 {6 O! e. r; p- t2 \. p9 M" i
- O( Q" }2 s% Z
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?   U% p9 d3 w1 Q- B9 R+ @; c

LH: 那么,要不要带件毛衣呀?  " t1 D, M1 X9 M3 ^

# X2 w+ L8 i. b! R, ?% R) T6 _/ WLH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了! , @- Q  h8 C6 t0 Z
) p0 ?' v/ p8 [/ x$ q
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. ' p9 r3 D6 Z2 o# k

5 T" T* O1 N/ o  O$ K& F* vLH: 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?
/ t% L. w! ~& {- x2 N0 Z
8 \, O8 p3 e6 T$ a+ JLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
# f7 n; w" C3 K# S0 v* U4 _
  t* N/ v# i: nLH: 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? . A* u$ O  `2 l$ A# Z6 s! K' A& |- I
4 d( O4 J9 H8 H1 h
LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. : ], {( h3 n- r6 ~  Z0 e

  T9 a, ~. X# v% u+ f" _/ u( n+ ILH: 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。 " X* K5 P' l( O+ [/ T" A
: `' K/ G5 r0 f( J
LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it. # [1 ~4 N. I0 x, f
  x9 e" e. U; x9 l0 e& v% x4 Z
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。 . L0 k" G% ?" D& T: t" _) Z
4 f; ^0 \2 V8 y9 A& x0 s
LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. % `( i( D# N! y, E
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!  
' u2 _3 l- a; V3 e0 Z# A% K$ P. g6 [2 a1 D* F. b( T, r
LL: That's right!
. H9 N; e  x  c9 u( u2 O) C5 K% m7 |# G( l5 |$ x$ ~- e: U
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。
