4 Y3 u; v: f# Q- m* T( tLarry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.
3 u6 p4 \1 ?0 |3 o& @8 c
" G+ X  \* r5 t4 n1 wLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?/ {: g0 @0 {3 A; {$ m) b/ ^5 z
, u; U+ I4 Z: P$ U8 a  `
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
* h; q7 |+ q7 ~( F4 z( F. l# b, J2 n* `, V
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......9 L  Z6 @) O" F; G! }! O, e' s

# a/ ]+ G' q7 y3 }% S% P* U! bLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! % ~. f! `7 T2 J0 \

7 Z# I6 S6 G0 ^0 L3 y8 HLH: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?
2 @8 _1 j# N) Q& _8 e) Q/ N
, L- u, q6 h1 W- R- ILL: 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. 8 V9 i/ E7 V% ~" Z0 I, ~' i7 }
4 ?8 v9 z3 R1 q0 t  U9 G" j
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? + s5 X  x& x! k+ J
3 L) M/ N2 _: `  a" z  w
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
/ g1 u& U6 r8 T* i) y* T+ `
! V2 P7 n$ h' I1 |: i1 y8 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?
2 [  a8 G4 z3 y# U5 S! i0 W7 L! c- T7 v: _2 h
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. ( H8 X0 N  a" ?/ @' C0 f. t: ?

+ m$ ?7 n3 h9 r' b3 f4 ^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?
$ s' N* L- q* w6 F8 ?6 A) W: U2 j
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.
: p4 P; W6 K5 }# o0 X0 n
9 T' m' z2 R+ k7 K% uLH: 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。
5 b) ^& K3 N/ W& ?2 d
: `  S) x: W# Q  iLL: It's a long shot that my sister will come home to spend the vacation. She said she's going to Europe this summer.
- v4 n* i( T; `: Y5 I- H% H' `$ i  B' s, s/ o$ T
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?
/ p; W: t9 O4 ]
& R1 ?* n/ q# _9 y1 WLL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit.
; ~: X' C9 o- ?* w: R
1 z, \6 O$ U2 [+ k& mLH: 那么,要不要带件毛衣呀?  
. \- l6 n9 `  t1 F2 R; R* e
  j2 R" f8 Y1 p, |4 mLL:You could, but it's a long shot that you'll need it.
* V# H6 g( S7 Y& h, @5 g
' B& Y, @7 V1 y****** + g4 c$ Y& d0 M# {" O
LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了! 7 [% S8 C- @: a  U" ^1 o; L% ?6 V

! A2 c2 c. [5 o# v' }0 nLL: 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. # y8 u; v- u- K

0 v9 m, r* P1 m% vLH: 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?
( b$ {# r5 v+ j: B8 W: _/ ^% p1 O. D8 ?
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  6 R- t$ P1 m" ^6 \: V" }, g
5 a& g/ r0 Y+ Q
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?
' k1 |( U8 ^1 J! g7 }3 ?1 w; S% w0 z, m  M, O3 L& G
LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.
) Y1 ]5 o6 b3 s, \
, A0 s7 Q+ D) u" E0 ]7 \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。 + E7 @% p3 _2 _" k2 U

* C5 ^  K0 \! _/ v: \8 \  u. FLL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
  G  M* R8 ]' @% W& l. O
1 R: _7 D" v4 O. v3 c6 T" JLH: 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。
* a' O; p$ {  `' L/ R* ^  O/ `9 T  _2 G, J4 D* j" {* I  B2 H
LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. , N  W# Y- p5 ~6 k  E" n
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!  
& k& `( k4 d5 @  G% t8 B8 H2 W- Z9 c. a. P  q. g
LL: That's right! & a5 K8 P$ n# a

4 H; B, B8 `4 O7 ?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。
