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.
0 s# q! ]( v) F/ c" i* ?( k: ?8 H7 w  q  j0 l. f6 o6 }
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?4 i: u: w2 d' m0 e) Q" |
+ A; o- [# r; `: N9 k: t; O( v
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. ; R1 {0 Z9 v" b, _8 T* _2 X- H

# }6 d( u5 d- o4 n. 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......
! ^  _! s5 |/ K, W
& S+ B$ U6 b( Y, e4 ILL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! 5 ^  ~! K8 F& w+ [
. r/ R% p7 Q4 H9 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? 3 l7 F4 w7 c6 s$ }# s* @% @1 Z
# u* w/ _, H2 p" ~  g1 C& L) K
LL: 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.
. U2 `) X  i+ u5 t$ H% l' ~0 z& j9 F7 l, i6 {2 W# ?1 ]1 d& |
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? 7 k; N" W' T8 j9 Y6 u" D

  s4 P; }5 F9 |" ELL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. # M) ]+ [2 W: B+ T' K* I

& W4 K5 }! S5 C8 M& `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?
4 a; r2 l, U! m" R7 h, q: w( D& y- g7 ^7 w1 q% }
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 ^' ?8 D3 D  C( L: v# Z7 M
7 k- f" X. N  N* \( Q% Z& M
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?
( W; `7 F. x8 {$ {, }+ s6 Z' u; y% |5 O
, [1 t! r% \5 G$ z0 ?# v: rLL: 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.
+ ~5 b* O$ ]7 c9 C
$ w/ `5 L' v2 C3 c) F( J7 M$ S0 lLH: 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。+ Q# O7 j( f8 q

7 @* [% m# K/ w' |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.   f5 {6 k- v) A" ^" \: A

' Q; N* o; C! K$ r' w  `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? ! a6 m7 c8 a" e" `

0 W7 p" d+ x' P4 rLL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit. # t+ z) [6 V& @: x; b

LH: 那么,要不要带件毛衣呀?  
" J/ N4 F9 ^" S3 d# n

LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!
/ @, r6 _0 k! ]; O: z! O/ v8 B
1 E' R$ h% a/ B+ I( }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.
; j# l1 ^( _& h, t
: V8 @( \# O. x5 h& ZLH: 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?
! i+ b4 l% l/ P* n, Y* h) `
) @( b! b* u3 U2 o) ?" u2 F2 h5 GLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
5 A; x) X( r: s9 V4 C) |6 J& b! D4 R0 v
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? ; ]' L. ], n+ m2 |* O

! V6 v' [9 \, T2 ?6 G5 d# TLL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.

9 R8 I8 {* p. ^! t, d# M8 nLH: 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。 6 v  u9 N3 e% J* c2 z

+ I+ ]' ?# R& T" k: w* W) G2 _; |
0 |6 a8 ^1 K3 e1 K4 CLH: 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。 ! }- B& @5 ~! M

, i; k( ?3 ?/ `( s9 dLL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. : e% ]  ~6 t/ G- `- H. [0 I
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!  9 F, Y  U. U  h& F

1 x; N* [  e. `% Z+ SLL: That's right!
( b' Z; M, ?" w! Q; f" M. B# e) z
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。
