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.
* S% O( s5 I: l* P% ?- `
0 v$ o: a/ L6 ^5 O' dLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?0 Y: a2 D2 J* B2 a
' a! n) j  ]  `  {/ a, J4 d% x* W3 c
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
0 a- [! u8 |, [6 l  E+ n& c1 Q3 L  X6 u
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......0 \5 N1 z" |5 A9 J1 B1 ]! f- i2 ]

" ^. U! n2 O; O( Z$ @; kLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
6 M! R0 z$ w- \5 K' F' q0 P7 O
. G; |+ }& S5 i& M: ZLH: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 P) Q# x, Q* o- y7 x+ ^' r
/ ?; m) t6 f1 |+ L$ q3 v
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.
1 a4 z  S- p& O$ o! \' s$ P2 t9 y6 G& Y4 u+ x" m2 E0 ^
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? , V  v# k+ w/ ~

# F% M/ y- r7 R$ z; N" p  ~LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
+ D% u9 Z; ^6 ~, [& U, J" o5 L' R; }; M
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? 6 U1 P! q. X1 a. k; u
- P; g2 Z2 S, ~6 Y, a* J
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. 6 c+ Z) t, q9 K" }# z$ q5 ?1 g3 n
3 D  i- Y& j0 R3 m$ o" L3 O
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?
' h$ e* D1 z4 R$ N" O; c# P. K
1 k0 I: y5 C" a+ CLL: 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.
. v6 G4 P, m+ G! \0 d3 Y; S% R  |$ ~# f& }( \7 `
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。
! J) w: ~+ K; U" k2 J# E& I' s4 t* R7 o
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. ; F3 N- }' r8 x8 C2 @

. Z  B; {4 Z9 V% b) y( w' T# M) OLH: 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?
/ M; N% \( w' U; P0 k5 b2 N  P4 J
$ B7 q) i6 L( OLL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit. 6 _) n$ {1 `: b+ ?  G

; S* y( k6 [8 ALH: 那么,要不要带件毛衣呀?  
  ~4 ^# E( E1 A
, B3 H3 V$ y, F: H: g/ OLL:You could, but it's a long shot that you'll need it.
0 G- p$ l' y" h" G3 @% O  P

' n8 \  q7 z" ]8 D' @  uLH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!
( _" M% |: A* s! J% Z7 s/ r! _8 D6 I6 D/ O- x3 r
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. & n$ R9 g/ t! y
2 l" O7 {& h2 _8 j% S! d% t
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?% m4 V* E, a' m* q/ i% D

6 v" d" k% Q' j% }3 m8 ?9 JLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  & c7 L8 w9 \9 |8 L0 g
1 F: g7 v" A: j0 [+ o) J/ ]) C( E
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? - u+ L% M6 k) o: Y

" U5 H* m" N9 R6 d8 J8 z/ KLL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.
0 m; e8 D1 F- E/ G# T( E1 P. K$ z% p
! W8 I3 w* l/ c! m3 QLH: 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 i: @7 s* w& J2 r3 g
* S+ Q4 ^3 f0 {LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it. - [) b2 y8 N2 b: q
6 h2 Z8 F/ Z  r1 A  I1 M
LH: 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。   v- o; R$ E* P8 g

9 N4 [$ q  ~. g# BLL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. . r3 p  o$ [: L5 H; X  h* O
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!  
! u/ B7 L3 c* W; {. D5 S! m3 j
7 y  c" h9 t. a2 B; V& QLL: That's right! 3 m, q( L% j' ]2 ?

' c: K1 K0 N2 d5 D0 \: M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。
