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. " K+ Q4 ]1 ]% x: ~/ W3 f

: i5 |1 ^) E& t7 jLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?( z! I* {) P  |+ ~9 K$ T

! c! a% }% P: i+ Q0 m2 xLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
2 _. I' t  A% G" V, d3 ?0 p
3 V* r5 |% v2 C% W# ]/ R% J1 `7 T/ SLH: 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 z7 T1 U0 r5 L' e9 S
# S, z+ Z5 d9 ~& d4 ALL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
0 |& V" r/ a" r& r8 f* e5 y: ]; R1 {
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?
" L$ y4 u$ j/ U3 R  [3 d& v6 U/ Z) _6 l% h( m7 O
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. 4 v" G1 P! p/ X9 Q- m# @
0 Z- F, M9 ~( S( |7 w* N5 J
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?   L  b% ^' D# d
- o! L! `: b' c- X, P
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
$ V; d  m$ K. k# I0 e1 @# [1 t" R" U6 w8 Q6 u4 i( k& m8 w; \
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? - g# Y+ S1 v& Z! t0 C

% u/ E  ~& J2 ]1 X' ~- YLL: 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. $ r3 z0 A/ e* b+ a" D

4 I8 e2 X) n3 n+ y0 CLH: 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? / j/ A: z. w) ]& Z" B4 d: G

  L: w  t2 J% g* A- kLL: 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. 2 i2 b7 e) u3 W5 r

5 }* Q) Z9 _" k# ~* |2 @1 E. ILH: 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。
" d4 k8 ^' u: s# K6 q
, \) T! S* h! i/ eLL: It's a long shot that my sister will come home to spend the vacation. She said she's going to Europe this summer.
7 t0 K( b; K; y2 }9 Y" j- t7 W0 z0 e; ^- y* w. l
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?
* X) p) I  A$ t$ W1 }8 T9 \$ M/ r: z, G- y3 t4 ?1 V/ E9 Z

* j3 O: `- i, ]% s; g7 L: 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.
6 G; f. V1 U  N. W; y+ C8 }/ b' c1 F
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?4 |& }/ {/ ]0 B8 E8 T

! m2 l- I" N& f2 mLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
( l- l0 x( t+ a+ h8 B. S8 o$ z( j) H1 u1 x- B5 W$ k( _7 L; ~  ]  l8 P
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? % f5 k% d/ m: L1 i+ F" p* x
" t. U& I9 G7 x" A
LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.

' d# \: Z# o5 l2 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。 " s. q3 @; F5 v4 \8 P

; H0 A! `2 E8 zLL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
7 l3 e! e6 d! i, x- m  \, \& G* G
4 h+ i* F3 A" G' _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。
( H4 F- w( J% C9 ^( n
+ U0 i0 e3 Y4 m8 J% i) WLL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.
! \- p: B! l; J6 G* V$ b' q8 J5 j# QLH: 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!

LL: That's right! 4 P1 }$ |3 g. F8 a9 {5 \; X

+ }3 W; [! Z9 I2 _5 l; b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。
