; C- r& Z5 _: J
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?: {# l. L% m# C; r/ O
9 f. z% R: ^  {
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
+ u3 ]$ q+ s0 O3 P9 k0 U/ b: l2 v  u  W
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......
( e7 _8 \- ~( a3 D" }& S

; d/ K: p% U* i! C/ y
0 H6 `6 n( `5 x% }$ iLH: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?
: Q7 E9 @  U1 X. B- }" E, |
$ c* b4 r* @$ T# 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.
7 F6 E/ X# N# A2 G  v* Q7 ?$ ~/ d- u9 I# U
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?
8 {/ C. y9 J6 ~; i- Q0 L# r8 l8 |% D/ V4 Q, d
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
) n* b2 a; [, L( t6 i  ?2 E* m/ I7 B  g, p2 Z
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?
6 v6 X& r; ~' |1 [# M" V$ [% }7 ?8 q$ `+ D, T# V, m8 G
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.

LH: 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? 0 {8 k( |" B! K5 q: I* S+ ?

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.
. s( M* H0 q' v: z4 x6 @$ M& G/ r2 Q
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。

1 ^& L& `6 U& qLH: 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?

LH: 那么,要不要带件毛衣呀?

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. & l; N- q# j/ T& W$ [5 f" ]4 q

; J0 Z, ]% A/ u$ v9 \4 f1 j; eLH: 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?, Z; A3 M3 {4 E9 q# q! p1 ^

: D' s$ D- L% i, f- W; [' vLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  9 d4 j2 \- o1 W3 b+ g/ _

! p) q4 h3 ~/ O9 ^3 Q" _, ZLH: 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? 6 E0 R+ }- d. W* z" Y

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。 , k# q( M# e" i. S. N4 `5 G# D

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。
