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. 4 B+ @# D7 i' n

( D7 _+ C4 T/ T$ s3 h6 JLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
* r# C! Q3 Y; @6 c, a4 M1 ?* ]
8 @% G% @; I5 A  }% @# B+ \LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. , V  G/ m" `+ C  a

1 s& \& r! p% x% d, VLH: 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......0 u6 Q; Q/ ~& m1 Q* w& F

$ h2 I: B$ u5 d. SLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! # A0 ^& {9 `8 ?/ k7 ]+ M

% \5 }( A4 j$ I" rLH: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?
5 Y4 y: M3 }, N1 i; `* v
% d. Z, Y9 r  F- `; V8 c. 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.
/ u8 A6 z1 J' F) `, @+ n( E# u1 {3 u9 A2 Q; T) q
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?
, Y+ W) J% n" y# |/ v
( L: N" V  H! i8 BLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.

/ M, ^, |' r- y9 T3 d1 r& L* [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?

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? ; T' q* ?/ ~3 l- b8 D) s

$ ]7 h" g, G+ q/ B/ ?1 i* SLL: 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.
9 q8 C% \0 x+ t7 N1 h2 w+ l3 a2 b
4 e( d# L3 a( @4 mLH: 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。

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? , a1 X5 D2 ?4 a$ |7 m: D

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. 2 B" ^1 @6 b- x8 y) {6 `- |8 }$ M

, B8 {) z- {  {. h9 P- q: vLH: 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?7 v, g' ^( `# w) W. ~8 Q/ c

& X$ U+ O6 Q& w# CLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
9 v* d- X; y5 L' R5 U
6 P" l6 r- L+ N7 ALH: 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?

  \- W' |. l4 q9 o& E' TLL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. 5 N* t+ t  B9 j, Z

# {4 x4 M( d+ e. R% gLH: 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。

LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. 2 A5 O1 |9 E9 y& \/ U& f1 ?" c6 x- K
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!

. k/ M6 c+ g. O! m7 q: l% y. ]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。
