Larry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. + m' v6 O0 A/ t
2 Y7 t) s1 y  t" a
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
6 C! ~% V* a0 S/ T- e4 q! d; C( v0 ~
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. 1 e2 ]' Z: O! u0 {* q( C! W1 M9 s

; o5 Y5 j6 z/ @& F- T6 @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......! {  ~8 G8 e+ E$ Y9 _

5 A( F$ u" {& ?# ?  F; Z$ wLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! ! L( n( V' V$ p! w
4 G7 ~% @' y  f5 ?/ a) f4 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?
  N+ j2 r2 f! O* _2 C/ V7 v1 K9 h1 Z6 E% h
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.
: y+ Z, w% Q6 G. b9 N5 l
- c+ A8 |  k  w% i; D, {% QLH: 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 ~6 X; k3 r& D, }) n3 ?: W- _

+ J) O& f9 p6 w: u& z. ~LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
$ i/ q3 I9 }" ~7 i$ w+ l
* Z# }6 y* s1 u' ?1 sLH: 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? ( i: G5 @% Z1 Y, P) n

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.

  r, d. r2 V) u2 B: f, y2 u8 b" e6 SLH: 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? & Z" t  }% c$ O4 J! _( g

, t' f7 Z, q5 i7 QLH: 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。

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?

LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!
9 ^2 `( ^& M; x' F$ `, m: B3 r1 Y1 h+ a# W& A  {7 ?
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. * |; Z8 U# f: t6 y/ t

! m* M, }( x3 T0 O3 e* M; ILH: 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?0 C3 ~, q! y5 N

2 m5 l+ q: }. j" A+ xLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
3 R- w2 e7 }6 G. N" i, m0 ]8 {% X/ u- f( ?1 i: ~  {: k. \$ P  G0 V+ P3 O8 ~8 U
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? . \4 X+ W) U$ d. z  A- 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。
4 B% k3 g+ z* N8 \- X' z9 F3 z; j. R% g* V
LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
, M# L$ X7 s, a# @  m! J4 x  G
; A2 `5 b5 W7 f9 [" ELH: 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。 ; V7 p/ g. x3 O: t3 H

* l, i; ~( ?: M) e% Z! t% C' @LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.
/ r! u$ `9 b9 I0 p0 q. mLH: 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!

4 Y& k( g  R! Y# z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。
