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. 6 D5 s) E+ J1 f. ]# X" D

$ t- C0 i) Y8 ~$ t2 T/ WLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
' C/ L$ G5 C2 y# I; i  w! t. n: i* |# v" I
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. : Z) w$ I4 t" C3 t3 U' a: K1 }; @

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......1 p: p" f8 u4 @! h6 q: ]! q; h! d* h

1 d% t6 ~! g. {) M$ u( MLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! 2 P5 G9 l4 q; q7 r* K) B: P. ]

' z2 p' G% e4 e8 q/ {0 b$ JLH: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?
; U" Z5 P- @+ X) R4 t5 e
+ W& w9 C' n5 R5 t, b) O: E6 }8 JLL: 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. / R4 t. [. `1 o& |9 y7 t

; L  W6 u8 g9 E$ Q- _( V& zLH: 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 e8 x8 {: k/ d0 R+ v; ~+ G
3 A- T% o2 C; s
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. - ^! ^( ]. _1 P1 i
$ Q% U, h6 |" Z/ R; W2 i1 n
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?

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. ! H- K; _/ k4 g

' u# L+ c: n0 n1 lLH: 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? 3 g; H( e4 u" Y: O

5 O0 i% ~# m  |5 S( S/ e& 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.

LH: 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?
2 G* Q& x% v% M1 f9 Z( P9 K4 r
, e: Q, M" d' s1 W. Z' K7 fLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
& `8 Z! O: I7 M
/ s9 w7 [- Y2 f7 lLH: 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?

3 h7 B$ V( N' i, F% l/ i2 qLH: 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。

LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. % x' Z6 }, K) U( `' P
