% X$ u: k1 Q6 r# H) ^4 G; HLarry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. 5 @) i3 g3 Y- M5 \' K
& D2 G) `# m1 b- E
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?$ b$ V" v4 j7 u! }

* B/ X: j; G3 }' fLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
3 q/ G2 W3 i7 b% ~; `4 Q5 J) z* Q% L( ]; p/ E) g& ~. P# `: N
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......
$ e0 ~5 H0 m+ M: A4 a

8 u! v* E7 j# r$ T" J7 ?" J* F/ q
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? " P. I+ Q% {6 X/ g' k6 b

3 B. ~! T% V; l. m) V2 K: M+ ALL: 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.
7 F5 b" o5 f9 H9 O' b" x6 C6 X! O" W% p" m) _3 `8 O+ b& p% _
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? 2 E% O, c6 z! a- s

$ L! |3 s, p- k# ]- JLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.   p. k$ `+ T  M, n- M

5 r. N" V1 t* @4 i% fLH: 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? 2 o5 x, ?0 l/ ]7 D4 `, p( w

4 _2 l, ]* R9 |5 f3 U; ~7 mLL: 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.

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. & E/ Q( H& B# h4 [: L1 y

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? ' S/ q5 W1 o. Q( a

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.
. J$ q" \! o$ T5 [4 O* z- k1 E
3 g$ Q  C/ K7 W& }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?
2 c: C2 M/ |' y; x: B8 i9 X: A( o9 H6 y9 ~
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  1 X. M( }; v, y0 B

( V* z( r0 x& L+ e6 wLH: 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?
& g8 g8 [+ H, }' G0 f# S% e, \) v  m3 F6 I' i
LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.

LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it. ' Q* X* n7 E5 C, M9 T. n

0 p* U1 a2 ?! G2 ELH: 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。 ' d0 ~* M1 P7 o7 J* y

2 [# |7 D4 r3 c; O4 {* g- P. ^/ ]  s$ KLL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.
( X$ T; D6 X3 A6 i- RLH: 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!  & P& c7 p! f  J' N5 n, G: m; m

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。
