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 l/ Y% F) R8 W/ N/ z

* C  F4 |9 e% W3 xLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?, |( U& s6 f( j4 v

9 s; S+ m+ r- `9 YLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
. N$ a! a! V5 K+ j4 ?- x5 S; d! \# N# I0 |; L
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....... f* z# ?7 u0 |) p0 w3 t4 r

9 ?+ Y+ C- z7 U9 q$ sLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! ; `+ K' D7 \1 @- e) l: d: J
" _1 A- `; S% T1 O$ F
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? 4 f( Z6 j+ O# b5 |
: ^( V2 p  W% \, X1 ]
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 o% U; {$ W+ [( T( r/ D
) N5 ?8 j0 Q) p$ o8 @- KLH: 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?
. e4 F( j' z$ Q/ q. u* Q! m" P  _% \" O4 ]
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
5 g+ Y8 D7 B3 E* {; z' h. s/ f  g
2 L& R: d0 _, d; p& g& BLH: 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? ! o# D% R( n% Y+ y8 v3 k

1 W; F1 E, V" Y# @* b2 nLL: 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.

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? & m0 \/ A  t' R5 g4 `( `* R# h

2 y. d* s/ u! o6 A# a. b& |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.
: [- `( F( i, P2 c1 h" N/ F( o7 I* _( M+ U6 F& J: s& e( k
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?5 S* j- s2 E5 m: H: c& E5 H
1 j) G: Q0 C$ |8 }
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  - p/ S9 ^- l2 m. a1 {
) c( S, z! |2 {, D* M3 u8 @6 Q
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? + D% E8 [% h/ b' F5 q4 Q

8 L7 L3 o2 E# c# y$ e) w7 ?/ eLL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.
7 z) @% `( D2 C+ v2 u) U' U+ s2 o8 K, P, \  D: S
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。

0 M6 k) t+ x, Y' D$ XLH: 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, _1 A8 C. E, Q" q5 r9 S! LLL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. ( z9 [% g  l1 E; {! u$ [
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!

% D* D8 c$ _0 g  E# _$ T4 X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。
