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. . d0 |: n6 A4 |, [# z& L. U

8 ]- S2 M: [: \% p/ t1 u7 n! PLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?- R' \  r! r6 E" p' Y8 E6 c( t

# E$ F" `2 ]/ s& I2 [4 H; eLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
' H* ?' k2 \% Z4 w. L& l3 R1 |4 N" A' E" }- l; 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......
: }# C2 s$ x, e  d4 G/ l3 B9 O0 ^  C4 b( _
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! * \' [1 C$ m- I( {$ a# L9 X
( S8 _: Z, `3 E1 R/ O" J! C
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?
7 ]/ A( l* b- i2 F  i! B
+ t3 o4 j+ G4 ^) q% @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.
" H  U0 @6 ^) I! ~  [1 z) G' I
8 Y  a4 O0 ]- b( ]5 q" z6 DLH: 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?
) F& U) U9 J. l  M
" ]6 p# n4 }& h! c* e' U. p- `LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. 6 Q+ ?# W: h/ d, p, |, r% g

! J2 ?6 y/ j4 U/ t  V7 ~6 F9 tLH: 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?
$ F) G+ L4 y1 n( E9 _. C/ B+ @) U. ~, U, I! {1 ^( F
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. / P, f( |. o4 v! X1 r- ]; V3 K. v
: f( A- y9 \1 q& ~
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?
. _2 L" u. j% H/ ]. F5 F' \' A, \! n# `/ m! c* 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. - U. x( _" k6 V# b0 ]! f
5 T  \: Q! T- V2 i0 a8 S6 }: D
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。
9 D2 P' I: I  `: n- Q) u1 P% }' e: P9 N
LL: It's a long shot that my sister will come home to spend the vacation. She said she's going to Europe this summer.
# r% x% {" x) K  e+ @/ f% G! V' Z) I8 ^4 I$ f3 ]& l; q8 o! Y
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? 2 e8 r! b2 P( |9 C* u: m
: B# u" D. `* |
LL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit.
; {0 O3 `9 i4 Y
+ j/ ?, u5 A6 X; x* j+ |9 wLH: 那么,要不要带件毛衣呀?  ; D, [$ [% R- ]6 ]! e6 i

# c& ^1 P1 N, }LL:You could, but it's a long shot that you'll need it. 9 K3 G# e! J+ Q7 @- S

7 |8 T: \& y! e1 O7 Q8 {****** $ R! P4 e; f) m0 L
LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!
: Y* O, N* Y- h- M- f
7 a- b' E2 r  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.
5 y8 H& Q* l. B: X: ?
8 w$ A* o: |) Z  j, M. B& QLH: 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?
, T! q3 i* E' }: k+ z) J' V' z9 }- |! {9 ]7 _
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
/ q& A+ I$ Q( z* |( t0 V, w! J- d& Q3 b. y
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? / ]) F9 O* R/ N" h6 U  g1 J

( _6 E) I6 r* MLL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. 9 K9 F, f- E  M0 Z
  I- O9 L# n* M3 N$ P( |
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。 ! @3 b2 x+ \' D7 h0 {% e2 F
; X7 X1 o9 ?, ^9 ~* i+ d* e
LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
1 k: b3 k& d5 d  g: n! b' R* f2 n
9 C2 {  y# ^# A3 bLH: 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。
# C- c# V+ P: e8 i+ y$ v! j+ O5 _
9 m2 [! Y3 \" L! f- g; ~6 o  fLL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. ! ~) S1 U/ |3 M* A
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!  
( n5 Z( i! F$ _3 \0 ^+ c! J- z
2 T$ s5 M9 k0 ULL: That's right! % _, \; K; m1 ^/ F# `9 e

- l  j5 ~' d$ u+ W" O0 q- h* c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。
