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.
# \% R* x% H& e9 S; z
3 K. x' V6 u$ G8 ELH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
6 N' k- b# x/ k/ f- j+ m

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......, r' d7 Z& t" O# F: N5 J) X  s" j

- ~( z  d" P$ [9 o: g% MLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
% i. {% h8 O2 I" {0 K6 l" @: l3 y3 ]3 `. {; ^: E9 n, ]! b* {
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  z9 Y+ o' {& W7 K
) c& Z. _8 T6 f6 V0 D( h$ ILL: 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.
% a' |( c. e/ N0 O. o
3 r; k% V" U( A3 X3 kLH: 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? 5 w( \. n! L4 Y6 I9 S: B) F
& I! ?* p; d' B7 Q. N% o! I
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.

# \1 ^9 W8 W' j5 ^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.
9 w* g4 T: h$ P" |) T* t& x* J7 ?$ T9 N$ ]
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?. W2 \& e# E: E
7 l  ~2 ^5 F3 d+ I4 w- @
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  ; L3 X# M) N1 C2 \0 }4 V

0 g( P! ~+ ^' I  U' v8 gLH: 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? 2 _. ?0 k0 _2 p, z. ?

LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.

# G# j$ K+ H! n6 J
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。

6 v+ e6 c0 }( {9 MLL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.
