* F, \4 M+ |. i7 X: HLarry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. + e: s5 r, C  h1 q! H9 W

, p' F7 ^! w! J. Q& d$ k2 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......
1 V9 N; N" z- ^- |& q4 M/ ?' E6 `1 A$ r

  Z6 K9 x* i* |' x: |
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 t5 L( b0 [: M% y: j* f

% R! A$ m2 Q4 b0 F4 ]% n$ |, `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.
$ t  u/ U) e/ C/ k2 O  \7 y, z
$ N, k; A4 Q2 F1 e9 mLH: 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? ) p$ y* v  ^- ?5 Q+ j2 y0 ?. E6 W; Z

* `* T2 z% G/ ^" g. _! gLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. 4 o; o" q8 x( H* ^- W9 n

4 K" t- [6 Y" \8 t! \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? 9 V4 V/ a0 t3 {# z

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. * F: D4 [8 [3 ~& h) L" ^0 c( s

  d+ N( @* b1 D" w! T% v: uLL: 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.
/ ?, {; n4 U# F. |, H
. l: _; F9 \0 K, T; z1 \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?& K+ u6 C# z0 }5 _7 n- |
+ T* m* \/ K5 k- I8 h
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  1 B8 E  Q# N8 e3 e/ v5 ^
' ?$ \- t5 L# `" r  n; 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? 7 S- i. |0 v0 W* _' r

LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. $ M; ]9 e- 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!  ' f* M2 }( u5 c

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。
