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 ^+ ?! T( T. c  `, e; T6 W5 C+ @

4 b6 T# J, M1 c6 o9 @/ zLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?

- ~2 |/ n' }2 ^7 H* V' B) v
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; H$ K* q+ ]! ~2 U

1 T3 W2 }& q( ~6 ]$ F0 XLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
4 ~- l  N- I7 B* Z8 P
* ?/ Z9 C- I) \* M1 L2 G# cLH: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?
1 R6 w0 E" q! v1 D, N% @! p5 a5 {$ T; |* D" \
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. : x; l: G: b1 ?  J% V
& P+ Z- _. s, O+ c  I
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? . C* I* v1 ]2 l. |$ v

3 E: h! b* \; I1 r- @  wLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
7 H; U+ ^5 S" I* b8 s. Y! J' C
$ w/ _  R& r" ^5 ?- r! x1 S' a: mLH: 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?
# `6 Y: @, T  C% y/ U. T' d$ y) F2 G5 w  S. A% l2 x
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. 9 s7 Y* I9 p. k) O: k

7 w& \9 R# A* C' BLH: 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 A# Q" t& r: ]6 s) h5 a& h* |

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. ; ]/ L& q1 }8 x; V

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。

' T" B8 N: o" z* ]# h6 j9 LLL: It's a long shot that my sister will come home to spend the vacation. She said she's going to Europe this summer.
# q9 m4 T* s: r& v2 p( r' a. n5 u1 F; o6 h& I8 k! p
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?
' ?6 j' [9 w( \) v& h2 I5 n3 L, s2 p1 y% G3 L

LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!
; E' V+ c3 O3 k1 g  s" X+ \# 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. , O$ m' C1 n' a+ u

7 c7 I/ y% i8 s" M+ i' sLH: 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?5 L! x  p" K1 n5 O  k& d  Y

' p5 o" C) f' \( e$ _9 f" Y# ULL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
$ Y" L, H  @" @
: ?3 X7 x. o8 \* p. 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?
- b/ Y& u& i9 \' {) r0 t9 y' ~7 k, J- s" u  S( D, ~/ j
LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.

" C/ m" y; r6 d, P. q8 j* t! V6 w% i8 x- e2 _/ Q
LH: 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。 + f$ h. w" k3 H
& P# `. L* z( b+ r* c
LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.
( c( K. g0 [2 |, a" @- M! GLH: 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: q6 t8 R4 N5 b; a' Y) l

# k& H: E- n: u/ h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。
