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.
0 p& ^# K# B: [. y' l# W
9 v& N/ n. v* V9 s+ f8 D8 GLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?: a2 `2 P7 R7 L; f; ?6 q
) p3 K6 \& `! U: H% D4 G6 a
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
4 r# c7 Q& ^# y0 C/ p7 q# C
9 v/ F/ P6 p, T$ S0 ?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......- k, J, w' \" s$ `
" K: B# g2 L% o4 {1 j. i+ D
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! - L! {, g) E$ e4 w

- A; b& ]/ R9 e5 i$ P9 uLH: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?
/ m( E" J! c/ e; {4 F2 U
3 p' s# N# c3 D0 uLL: 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. % \5 b7 q& q) C) ]$ |9 Q# @; b

0 d: o( I: I5 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?
( \: S: x/ e# n4 _2 o) D3 [: b& l4 w$ d! p6 ]0 `5 Q% \
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. " z! [. g6 Y9 b7 g2 m) y7 ^
" o: s% w9 P$ U
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?
) i  p1 ?) J: J- T9 H0 v) C( d4 B8 _
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.
2 b4 [1 B. E" k! B/ `. ?6 j! o  ^) M; q$ [7 R9 L  e$ h/ t
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? ' q9 [* P# {- o9 [; ]' W

% h% L. J* z& }6 M9 DLL: 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. 3 r- E- v2 h7 o5 G6 O8 |* B

* V  V- K# Y5 |7 a1 G% L$ T" V. SLH: 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。( g; i) b0 c1 e6 n* M* s

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?

' R# J) a/ \: [2 Y
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. . E6 i( R8 Y$ O  a- W; A

* C* N0 w) b/ L% ^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?
0 L: n, D2 \0 f% A+ ?" k
: n6 k- w" Z/ h7 i  U- vLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  & [7 @9 s- J% |# i

+ C0 V  @& F5 A4 u2 O8 A. K, SLH: 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?
% `/ V" I# D/ b3 ]+ k2 ]7 s" A
, u. ~' j9 N# X- J1 ~2 kLL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. 9 X- m- p/ E. e1 I# E9 n

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。 / Q2 n+ B- |& S
# b. E2 z! o) y; `
LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.

& c) |/ N& {% x: [* mLH: 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.
2 K9 F& ]8 J5 aLH: 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!  4 p6 M, w& o# e  |6 H6 w4 B

' R- _# o; {4 [+ s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。
