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* Z# g9 S2 V) f3 C3 p% M5 C' W5 d" c5 ?/ T/ d+ b2 m2 n
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?  m% T( q  b5 D+ p. i  ]
: f3 n9 W8 c' r' Y6 o' r
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
0 F  {% A/ g6 f0 ?$ _
& ]( {" E, T( S/ r0 mLH: 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* R9 u5 f3 j6 C( n. C' h" H
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
+ X5 r7 @0 R" d. G- Z
1 f2 b; e! \) `& U4 NLH: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? ; P8 O2 g* `+ L# }$ b

: C% d. @5 M) l- ~& j, o) W/ OLL: 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. , q. r6 G7 G  p4 M* f1 F: w

6 |+ t% n; Q: P) k* SLH: 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?
0 p6 A4 {5 z- t) Z$ w. O8 y) F$ X) r: Y/ d6 x
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
& a& ?) K1 v4 d: X) e6 |- k: A/ u
* H0 x- u* j( |6 C# E5 ~. ]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? / a5 [2 c0 j7 }' Z7 U

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. ' N" a/ b  r3 e; q' I/ g. g

- g6 ~9 {6 _' l/ h& F& {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? & _* l5 t$ B( [: j! f" C

) M% o2 `9 T* v! L  cLL: 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. 2 c4 z! _5 Z# v- A0 |- C( ?
' {+ B6 z9 g1 z/ ^
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。
6 g7 `6 ]! F0 A- s" e1 U/ I! g0 O$ t5 E) Y
LL: It's a long shot that my sister will come home to spend the vacation. She said she's going to Europe this summer.
5 y$ e3 Z8 ~& g7 v. r  P" E% m  T2 C' n" ~6 Q& Z4 K
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?
$ m. f( `4 z  @
  ^3 _1 J9 u1 r$ Y/ M' cLL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit.

LH: 那么,要不要带件毛衣呀?  ! V  I. J4 ]3 R

LL:You could, but it's a long shot that you'll need it.
& a3 w4 P# g4 b$ D, t  q

LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了! 7 f. W+ S4 _5 J+ g* 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. & ^  O: U& t/ z  n2 r+ t. n6 _# c

5 k# X5 V) f  i" S7 [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?
' u+ p) I9 R% z* `% N1 V% f; R" k, ?2 E( F" a2 ]
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
" A8 b! U+ }6 U. i6 p  S5 e$ ~7 s5 m6 t; T5 b5 g8 `
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?
/ ~8 J0 w, y" G/ \- [1 A0 z$ l" Y
6 e5 d- n1 ?0 o3 w  zLL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. 8 b7 l5 W6 ^3 H8 Z8 |0 S- _

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。
2 X7 z  T% p6 ~; g/ o5 z, q
, A3 c2 P2 `8 y9 r& TLL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it. ' L2 \4 ?/ B. e  n/ M1 c

8 e- a& K6 `% k8 R( DLH: 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。 ' ~! o$ z: r# j' Y7 b! C

( |4 g! ]& X8 D% h# \LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.
( Q4 T, Z9 m' h" WLH: 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!  6 `* m$ ^5 }4 ]+ t

LL: That's right!
( G1 \* I' i- A" z6 _$ b6 Y  L) Y  F( K, M4 c7 P! ^5 @( \
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。
