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. ' q8 w+ ?9 U7 e  _2 K
% b+ y0 R: f2 r0 f) N* N
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?3 u7 a# \* x4 t/ n3 t; y+ p6 k

LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. , |& Y3 t# Q6 u- H5 J/ c$ e

, \$ F! L9 `3 E. W% ILH: 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......
0 ^) I' }0 y- Q2 r9 G7 P# M, P

+ x$ x* P9 r* f/ ]6 W0 B6 o) f# i% d4 n. W( C5 p/ K, I
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 M4 ?$ N: v$ G/ {9 ~8 \! h; |6 C/ [
$ Z& |' F+ v1 L4 ]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. 6 a: U9 b6 H5 c* W! }3 ~& G/ v

* j/ b! \9 O! ^$ ~1 zLH: 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?
% `4 r: {" m( f5 p7 X4 v  Q
7 G. ^# L) v; O  g8 yLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. ( V+ I' f3 q0 J) f8 A/ [* z

3 d7 s" r; \" e( pLH: 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? ! |' [  z: a, {! x/ P

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。

  a; I4 j: y2 T8 h) c3 w/ r9 j& x  p0 a0 i  L, u  e- _, {% e
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. ' X! E( o9 w7 o% I. \

# U2 w1 e- E* Q: y* c5 L# |  jLH: 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?
* s9 \. g3 V' u& o* G. e/ |6 a' F9 `% C% O, m4 }# l7 P. ]
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  7 i  L, d5 J  q
) l! ~, c: ?1 J& ]$ ~
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? - b. r! Q; k4 G- X8 K

LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. 4 d$ ~& N, v. V: v3 H3 g: C' W

1 {: `0 R: o; ?4 ~6 I2 S6 ZLH: 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。

3 c; B+ g9 p$ Q" d! 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。 ; ~/ k0 b7 |9 R! W0 G5 t! j

' N8 w* C6 h% N( x8 _LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. ' {: U8 B9 h, a6 n1 s/ x$ {
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!
