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. 4 F3 C" a% i5 B- v' T# n7 W

- d; a8 x# J  T' nLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?" n% P+ t8 C! q
% W! B- [6 k. t; s* B' m
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. & l3 [0 p9 {$ D5 k/ J. y

- p* |4 |& u0 K2 Y& FLH: 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......# W& _9 |# J+ J9 m

6 S4 Y2 M" C$ I, F/ r( zLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
' M7 W# e  T! P/ W1 l/ C' x. b( C/ A: |& @" 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?
0 {+ y* K6 u6 S$ \2 M/ n) k$ }6 ~4 @- t2 |6 K/ B
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.
- j4 `8 x: z: ~5 G/ o2 ]& @
$ |6 U. M0 B( N* t' |7 K* `; ALH: 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?
! o; L( H0 H% K$ `# J4 o' w0 c# R3 @5 u2 {: Q, k' R
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.   P2 L  s" r$ g+ V5 u- w; H

5 @% J! ?9 e; b+ |, h+ ~% \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? 1 b" R, T. X& n+ A0 q9 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.

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。0 o0 k2 R! I3 h- P

( w6 v6 ]# B7 [+ S( Y5 lLL: It's a long shot that my sister will come home to spend the vacation. She said she's going to Europe this summer.

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? 8 ^$ F8 ]- L7 |# i7 J3 K

- T6 E: j$ T5 A5 B7 O: _' {; M6 `7 f) \2 ]6 t
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.
$ c0 c/ X- I3 `, n+ L
0 k+ F1 Y/ J) }1 b8 m2 SLH: 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?" x" u. j9 i: r- p/ u/ N  d; t2 w

+ B& Z$ Q& c& S8 \4 J* ~LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
4 R& W6 Z& x# k; T4 Z
8 Z( {! Y/ |, S4 I$ M1 n/ RLH: 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 C. l/ p" q8 GLL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.

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。

LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.
6 I  r6 h+ T4 OLH: 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!
