+ b7 o( w# t. D& q/ k7 HLarry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.
! o- _% ^* g# R( @) M# P+ j9 ]: J0 w8 v! C
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?2 j6 a8 o# q& K  U
, g3 H" b7 Y" R
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
7 \  `7 g6 R: T* P
. F% v% |9 O* k! I6 d9 DLH: 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......
9 m! E/ @7 R+ I7 r# [
' v! X# c- F- Z. D( N7 W2 g0 aLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! 2 r6 s2 e, h. X' {
1 E+ Y% k* q/ J
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? ( y! Q+ v" j; M) R

$ h5 N+ s. I# o1 Q; M. |6 F+ R+ aLL: 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. + d8 x7 U+ a" j( M6 u

4 Q4 P. s7 |' K' Y2 @. h( KLH: 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? % U3 R0 S1 }* g3 v' ^  g$ E
1 W  M0 v- ?5 ]0 R& k+ ~( I% i
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
, }; x" O3 L) N% A0 C) @5 }* j7 ]: V8 D9 D9 m$ t9 p' n
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? 2 F1 ~7 B. i' D6 C& S! v

: B' @5 V- U3 N  t1 R$ \3 E- ?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. 6 L# L% w# R+ r/ {! s$ ~& J" Z

$ U2 d! w' N+ j0 e; ^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?
9 U9 z* D  K' a1 ]6 l8 }9 |3 S) V! L. N' E% a! ^. z
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.
( B- f/ H8 ?" ^9 B$ Z6 j  V; }
6 M4 G8 F" M; c' @3 F$ b) DLH: 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。! D! Z/ o/ D& R* g( ~5 W. K, c

/ M' n4 A% {8 x$ E6 SLH: 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?
+ g- T+ W; C: C! ^
* ~$ g8 E3 b4 ALL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit.

3 e, o9 O& R. Y  o8 x! o0 qLL: 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.
+ A( R% {; ]1 o0 O) K( s' L
( H9 u" [2 S; Q7 o% ]5 lLH: 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?
. j3 M2 N% W' g% b  g8 ~( M! T: h: A9 L
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
6 n0 `! X/ u0 E* q
8 a1 t, P5 h$ s; i: o7 ]7 I( t' FLH: 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? ( N  B8 Z( x  s; u: V
3 z8 E- i- Q6 `8 m) k- s: M
LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.

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 s+ Y. d& J, V' U9 r! S5 a( J5 T, @3 ?6 N, c+ @
LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
- ^* Q9 L+ u+ d* v- D4 D0 [; l( a9 q' A; O
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。 ) J. Q8 c, k$ e2 ?" w% p; N2 ~
2 j' q- i7 t+ ]: O. z( q/ P  e- S
LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.
5 g4 Q5 X! M: t% s! C. pLH: 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!

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。
