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. + W5 m8 u% g; B# K% V6 u8 a8 x

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......
" m1 G: B1 b& C9 S. m1 j9 x2 {/ d9 B

2 O- }* J, L' b( W9 \5 e, i+ |! t3 h0 }! I, f/ e& Q
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? 6 L- u; y; A  r, @$ ~

  ^5 S+ v  P  H& I" U/ DLL: 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. # a- b8 i4 W) M& s  d7 C6 E

6 q( M! q* T1 YLH: 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? 2 t4 g" P2 L+ }% u

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: 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?

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。
