6 Q; ~+ `0 o& C' m+ ELarry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.
- Z; u9 U- u7 A7 c/ o6 W
. p( f* W/ }+ p: c; N$ t9 iLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
0 k" S- K! `% C$ _3 x, F+ f( i4 u7 [" L: V1 r" y* n3 X
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. ; B. a& U7 ?9 [* v  ^4 B
( s! @/ T3 g3 s
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......2 k) D9 C. F; f, x0 Q
! n" b2 m$ G5 Z; I1 c' A/ D* T
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
) W4 u5 V" V# _9 v, d- c* Q/ [9 \1 ]" Z/ B; \% q, s
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? ( R! ^! j& K! `; X( V

" g" T4 e$ q* s& l, d8 sLL: 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.
8 G8 ?; O( V( ^3 H) `1 K4 Y$ o
. h2 ?* c( F, v5 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?
; b7 L9 C& ^* D' p- \
* |8 k* u' n) g+ T. xLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. * d5 }9 I- K8 V9 N8 h/ O

  B2 e. u; P) t& B& KLH: 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? : k% e$ b  R% E! u+ q& z

8 U- b* l8 B$ N; |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. 8 |1 b# i: b  X* @; o8 V1 I: J; `

  n' U: I. y' PLH: 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?
- f( a$ g3 v: J
! K8 q2 y$ _3 B6 A* X* GLL: 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. " `- M  Q) l" ^
7 |9 u$ B7 F0 B) x; |+ T
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。2 [* T6 p: Y$ `1 T
9 Q! k# h6 j/ h$ G
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. . c+ }# l0 f( R7 P) `+ H
& I* e" A$ t/ D' x0 J
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? / m0 B/ \. ?& ~$ d

5 S+ n  R7 |% Z+ I! JLL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit. + T: c6 O! V5 s4 W

0 P# ?8 H) i% X1 Z" ULH: 那么,要不要带件毛衣呀?  $ E  F/ `. ^" C6 f2 B4 ]
0 U) Z( x! s* c8 D8 q8 t
LL:You could, but it's a long shot that you'll need it. + {9 ^1 |# k# Q  E8 t  v% f6 l

5 G) Y) e4 r6 v' P' S******
3 H" u+ L. W9 A# R- ]7 x- X5 b% bLH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!
8 I2 L/ H1 [' j9 G6 d' f0 k! M0 D  B
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.
* {6 j+ t9 w# V7 q
: i3 u1 R/ ]! \! l( ILH: 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?0 ]) h! V( T7 {# S0 ?6 @; F
2 Z& z, D: d. ]1 ?
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  8 v0 p, x% V/ p

# C* X8 G/ q: s3 S/ OLH: 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 M( T; S) E7 Y+ l9 X, g9 ~4 Y( |4 k2 c4 O7 Q4 o$ U8 S* k
LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.
( g, M& S. I- V: l
- ^2 t" `! k, ]! m: R/ VLH: 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。 - s8 {2 y1 Q" p7 p3 k' [8 g

) L/ c- I2 @# a, V  M' kLL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
/ V) d3 Y2 a" P5 a- ^$ C& `/ h# [* T' B8 J6 I/ e( _- U4 \
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。
, X6 @- F$ I$ @* Y, R5 U8 K
6 h: Q3 j& S5 P# A4 ]$ G! D% ZLL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.   ~1 p: K4 n% ?  h( {
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!  " H3 M6 L0 S2 L9 Q  g1 m

, o" S# \/ {8 s; t# TLL: That's right!
2 c! d; t& v+ T' ?# `# z$ ^( U/ Y' P0 \0 _+ J) o/ b
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。
