$ t1 z$ [4 \4 I5 ~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. 5 @4 d- B2 r! {. a  B" _
4 p3 E% t1 _/ g
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
1 [! C$ |. d. l/ @6 U& n9 d3 x7 X1 o) s& P5 Y) r" v/ F
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
$ G8 X, [: O% S' g5 n/ [. q
. m2 E% f# t% ?& cLH: 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......
, A% _1 p  A; ?- o$ n5 U0 F- b, @; N( ^* [
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! ! x& l; k1 E* @
7 W: R- d! D2 m: q: z. ]
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?
9 L- }3 z) H8 p- z3 l& v5 r# r" W- n6 L. p. a+ K6 b
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. 0 ^7 g1 {$ z0 p( O* S3 B' a
; i5 y% p, p: ?
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? 5 _2 q1 }6 V1 E1 O, b
: `3 N' C1 F. ?( a
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. ; o6 ^, ?/ H# Q9 k- O: a7 x

! z: s/ p# f& E# E8 oLH: 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? 2 @3 T5 Z$ t* v1 s! Y; W2 R

/ X# \. z3 Q4 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.

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. + ~' a$ N0 h! Q1 Q4 _" [: ?) 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。0 |% S( t' C9 u$ q6 b

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?   @8 A& Q2 h1 R" D5 q

$ e6 W2 c+ c- Y( X& [  _LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!

- U3 y5 V1 G# a' s( ^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. 9 @0 F" A/ M) W& _

/ a3 e3 H8 ~- \0 v$ 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?
$ N+ n9 y" j$ G5 d, N, F) f$ ~$ x0 }- s1 c( y" x4 x$ s( C
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
: }% Z2 [9 w8 z; p& d6 _" j2 K5 n/ s- g
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? 8 W( Y5 t  a( \# G; S4 H

2 q* o' q& {9 E& wLL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.

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。 / F8 x6 m- n! z3 u8 B

- ^5 Z* P% y! s: L, ELH: 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. , V* r3 T4 l. L
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!  
" \  Y. S4 d$ W, e
  `3 a4 C$ N, WLL: That's right!
0 Z- O5 ~, Z  p) h
' K/ A6 f4 N: g4 P  s) g2 n# h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。
