5 b% Z1 v* d2 f( k0 c; V! jLarry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. - y3 v: }5 K7 S0 k

; g# p+ N4 q2 s4 w" O: r. bLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
, R" j8 s8 ?, K
; @3 P8 P* b0 ~) m( r& ~3 uLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
# k5 S  O  D9 ?# w! D, |3 O7 `: V1 ^; D" ?; |9 C# p! m
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......
! K0 Q0 R) @/ n% m# [4 ^; K& ^$ c: ]4 R+ F/ A2 h
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
6 S" t* v# E  O& M' _
- v( w; q- g2 A5 `' [- wLH: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?
, j; w2 U0 V, |0 o/ l
' J( Z! n) H% f/ M& eLL: 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. 2 ~/ m) L0 v( ?* }2 {" i( h" C
& u' C3 r: d# O
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?
1 ^# f9 r' }' v& B- P  t# O1 a& t
3 @, G7 B' u- E6 b- W  ?/ G& @LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
' v# {9 C2 Z4 B& ^/ l" Z0 l1 B6 n4 N" t- z( J
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?
( o7 }5 t" S4 X" g' O% N7 [0 b$ y5 l/ 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.

2 x; B( Z: N( `# L) j  x. `3 Y6 J( ^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。; T7 t: I2 T- |" o; I

: S2 h8 w& u( D+ DLL: It's a long shot that my sister will come home to spend the vacation. She said she's going to Europe this summer.
3 G8 {4 q) K1 N0 l8 e( @" b
3 @, s/ E7 `6 r2 N) tLH: 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? * D* j1 H) d7 I1 _+ p

, U* i' q% u! B7 ^LL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit.
. w  l9 z" P4 l& L% f" X8 Q7 R0 o' X' T4 u
LH: 那么,要不要带件毛衣呀?    P: u$ f8 _& l) O1 \" z5 o7 z

" M! W7 B9 f! {5 p
% l0 Y& r- P$ X1 x  @# X% {# |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. ! m& v( s4 ^* }* g, ~# `

3 T! J6 l2 I3 M" w7 {- S0 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?6 H" K0 p; [2 H6 W' J9 k& a6 B: o3 U
0 K' T" P- {" d7 G# s
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  " p$ T0 u" ?8 D  \: @  R5 |
! v9 J. D/ y. t. 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?
1 w( [; x4 N2 d" ?& ~1 U2 o: p1 K: P8 O
LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. - J  E. Y" P2 O% a

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。
  k6 `; P) W$ f

, c2 E: Y" g+ [4 A7 S7 E- X& o5 m6 n  p# `. y+ x# P4 t
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。 7 t7 s1 ?7 D) B
' U, o# d- ]6 x
LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. " S  e0 i2 F2 k0 ?# |# ?6 n9 r
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!  8 c: d$ X/ u' k9 \7 z5 ^# k, c

" j8 _+ j# |5 ?. b/ q9 z  x. y" a: S
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。
