LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?' A" g, [. e9 F* _( L" a2 w

# P$ F$ ?( ]* U/ pLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
' Q( s! A8 O( p' _7 y7 E7 f' Q% s6 D. \  h- P% e* Y
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......
/ _5 ^+ L4 R3 T, J# a
: {2 ]$ o: ?' A' D) S4 @LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! , L4 b6 I9 `" |
% {7 d! L" l0 f, }, W7 f
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?
/ \' X$ Z+ ?/ x  h1 S* `+ I7 Y- }0 \. B/ x) 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.
  {4 @+ `  ?" i
( T9 D8 i# l, cLH: 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? 6 k9 S, b1 n( r/ @3 d) T. y# _2 B4 D5 R% |

0 i$ S' Q) ?4 n. W9 nLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. ( f" J8 `+ `7 R* J. x; k6 y

0 w8 q6 P' C# }9 h! Q7 gLH: 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?

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.

. v. K* ^" _. Y' |2 b! BLH: 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?
; E1 }7 `4 P$ C' a7 Q$ y) C& O. X
4 F  J+ j. C. k6 {7 Z# }4 WLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
1 v2 h, ^4 d1 l$ D; l5 _: |: n: ~% w2 t4 O1 s; T/ A
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?
