& o5 v) R3 M5 d& j9 I* D& D; gLH: 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 L; e2 a5 P& i6 |6 H% K" s9 |3 y4 F. _) r1 @  R
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! . Y7 y" U* q3 y) M
0 A: m$ p! `$ y7 d8 \/ U" g
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? + y) M, j3 ]0 g' Q" V2 P$ S
( W9 t0 @5 k$ Q6 W
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 q  y- }2 X
  z; M, V0 d4 U) A2 p; B8 ~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?
& W6 f+ Y/ C* ^* f3 W& P) @; E
, @8 Q9 K! r3 O; V& v3 JLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. # W* e5 k% O; {. ~4 K: @

% [, O  p3 G) X' yLH: 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?
$ V& W9 _4 ]- \# p  \! ~" C0 x2 J6 c

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.

LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!
- D0 f' [6 d6 N$ Y) @: `+ r9 R  N. [& j$ ~3 D  d3 A" ]
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. 7 E- c% J, A: n$ c: b" J7 O

/ X" v; y1 ~) s1 A1 w5 aLH: 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?
2 F; q& M. \3 G) N+ O* g
- @! e' X7 T$ l; oLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
0 H: v' P$ I& ]2 d7 W4 w
  g4 L- A3 D% WLH: 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? / W6 Z: y' ?" R

LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. ) d7 D8 J6 ?9 g/ [1 U

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。

LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
5 ]$ [( E5 q* r9 D7 |4 y2 \5 b  |* K! o  p- R- w0 {4 a5 f2 Y
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。

LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.
4 x$ j/ Y0 w2 r' WLH: 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!  $ o' g5 u6 J- S1 J3 |4 n, Z* 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。
