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.
' p. y! y9 w. ^  V* J- |  a* }

LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
  c+ a. y  o" [1 P6 r9 x& A) Q2 v, i, V4 i
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......
8 C) Q8 Y  D" v6 W" Y0 Y6 e) @
1 m; n- C3 y. S0 O4 A# TLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
( K. F+ [5 O6 M  V  H
1 J+ O: p- X+ |& pLH: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?
) ]- r3 {# e; L1 G* H) ~. D# e
! e. Z/ d; g% ^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. / p$ u# f4 j# ~" ?! E0 B
0 S/ Y. s$ z* N8 x1 K
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? ; A( T: p& I/ k" j5 X
" d) e% R& v0 ~/ Y( O! e+ R
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. ( O5 j" m9 M/ ^; `, t5 u; y

4 V; P1 K4 L) J! u& @3 G8 V: j; v: d2 hLH: 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? # \5 \: m# G7 B; e, T/ g4 W9 C

5 J) Y. x0 u. U, Y! wLL: 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.

* ~/ T# X  I6 O' I& |3 r' P, {. o7 k5 E" H' Y8 U; ^4 s. W
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.

3 r! t# n; K7 [  v. J0 x; KLH: 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? ! A" S1 Z% s: }: w! ~3 c3 h, E

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.
3 p2 L. d* a* a8 B) s- D
5 k) P% G/ o' w8 g; ~2 ELH: 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?8 m: [3 v$ I  r3 j* T& b4 Z) B5 D
3 N* j- N+ |! _/ a8 F
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  3 X- N+ K4 v! y2 h0 T* t
7 b7 @: v  B4 ~' ~
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?
2 z7 l4 i. Y5 K$ `

$ T/ Y( \! t$ r1 rLH: 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。 8 {" B; J* D9 h* |! W+ W

LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.
2 x! r) Y# }9 D0 k9 FLH: 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!

: V; T1 o. z- z8 k" G  Q5 C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。
