) k. U, C. a7 {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.
; i  W7 M8 ^3 ], b5 V3 t, m' Z
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
+ O- i0 G8 u2 b  b8 j+ |4 C! \% I% o/ |  [$ }/ j8 @* h6 H- s$ [
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. & {# j. s  x3 o8 p, x3 z; q+ W6 j2 r

, B7 Q7 E- q$ ~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......8 i: Q5 a7 y, |1 k. x- m! b

  I8 b" f: r! L3 @- zLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! " K9 E* x. b) N7 ?7 m1 J- m

& `' _( D2 Y9 J/ H" T2 f, x  G! TLH: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? . R7 Q; C; ?, E% J1 E0 n

' q$ {  q5 {7 xLL: 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.
, P3 N3 o! x* h0 w2 ~6 ~2 ~
  {/ K5 j- |* f3 W0 gLH: 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?
5 v; Z) G" H! l* H* v$ b1 h8 z! y2 |. X, l7 i2 n: R( W
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. 2 B9 ?# W5 g1 W1 Y

% g" C6 F3 B) K5 [5 HLH: 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?
: z5 p( }0 }. O8 U- v, O3 u- X, C# @; G% v; F
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. 5 ?# n+ k0 {, S

1 w7 s! |2 O( [, x' S" [8 yLH: 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?
3 ?; A- Y4 t  J. ?. R5 O
2 ], i3 t' Y' N  T2 h+ l; k# R% yLL: 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. & o$ g+ E- ~" E
( |* X  @8 Z, S% f8 n  q
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。

) X1 o" J% [5 |/ XLL: It's a long shot that my sister will come home to spend the vacation. She said she's going to Europe this summer. ( w. V- }% f! M3 u5 |
0 T6 b* C9 H' X7 ?# v' F  [
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?
- ^3 B& f, T- i- Q3 x% n& W% H! e7 r9 X& {  L6 ?8 Z
LL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit.
* k) e# g5 x" `0 ~: l3 G5 F* w1 _/ R) T- g. m. h/ I
LH: 那么,要不要带件毛衣呀?  
1 N# Q9 _+ q6 z+ \3 n% ^+ q7 y% L" J  D5 f! X6 B

LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!
4 c1 T* o/ f, I! }4 \! _
9 G, ~( R) n& m6 NLL: 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. " X* W, F6 n! z& J
) b2 A$ ^9 w4 Y, ~
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?# v7 `# ~1 {" [: |

, N% |) p% ?4 Y% U: BLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
, l( D1 F" m3 B
5 C& w; g' A8 @3 n, xLH: 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? ; y* C3 C6 g& O" l
, v! P( |, ?" D3 i
LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.
' k% N/ H7 @/ r" F5 y7 N% H3 `
* t9 }1 Q+ @7 x! q, ~$ E' ^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。 % O1 U) f4 C: w! D7 ?

' Q$ T6 m) P2 W$ x! ?8 t  ~5 yLL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it. / Y: Z. P; e) z$ v! o
  X9 Y* _% V5 {# n* |
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。 % w" c# y4 P+ K+ F  m: h: J

* E% L+ X6 z; |8 j2 F/ NLL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.
+ ]0 |$ x- `. ~8 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!  
3 v. k' [6 \) R# v+ S5 K- F5 |
9 w; E) \) W, |7 z  z0 E" j  }LL: That's right! " z4 k; ~+ o: q0 M

9 M- R+ m3 H& [2 x8 |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。
