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.
  Q% [. n# Q8 J- N; x6 |' g  w7 f
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?. t1 \" T, ^7 L& ?" w
0 y( i( f0 y/ O. }8 [+ `
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
; Q' C4 D# h( d2 }
* W. R$ U9 L2 U$ C; zLH: 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......) N7 o" T" x, ?$ j" k+ p9 W
( C6 K& O$ R& G& g# H
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
& W6 b$ _2 _' O5 o' Q, E, f8 `; e% F9 }# S$ L) D
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?
! \3 @6 @' @# ~8 z( b
4 G9 S7 i: w) f  p0 _4 r3 WLL: 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. 6 M$ k+ A' C: g" k) K
8 M1 D: G( _, O# `8 j# ?6 f
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? 3 {3 H" `3 N# F; T

. K: G+ S0 W! [/ |* `1 ILL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
' }. p6 _4 {. B1 G
) U3 N% T8 L9 c3 u$ o" E  zLH: 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?

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? 7 ?. \4 K/ w- I' s( ~, i+ E

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。

5 S( ~1 i3 Q- @% P) q& 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. 9 z$ |9 y, H, Y

: G; {6 F! U; q- |/ GLH: 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?
3 F$ U2 U: G) a% l* {2 B$ s7 I+ P" c8 N0 Y% ~+ _) z! T
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  8 O* F3 ^: m' J& i! N. z. I

  o( o3 T: t) {" t* |& O' {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? 1 z$ {  B! C/ U! q; k' i$ n6 a

LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. 0 q0 S+ I/ @, y* k9 S
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!

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。
