7 p8 q' r# M, U- e/ @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. * A/ I6 R  m+ j( Y- q

! T* n: ^* `+ j& FLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
# E* e' Z  m3 ^+ j4 s: y# f% t$ T0 P! G/ O8 ~
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
% h/ Z3 b5 ]4 f& t" A
- f2 c( s, _4 r- M/ i% e0 a* }, kLH: 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......
( j1 P+ {  ]7 [' G. O: X7 f1 _  g+ t3 q; {2 a% A+ O3 T- P" y4 q
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
( o! ^2 }  I; v! t$ x1 m
. v+ z3 t+ ]! U: T1 @# ^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?
% I! d4 {, [# a5 f+ w- o& ?& r7 |) q' i* {1 L
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.   ^6 ]5 \2 Y4 Q- r! s* P8 q
3 f( i+ ]; O8 D1 B
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?
$ [* T0 D. C: I  Z" p6 |2 Z' Z# o: }! M0 O6 u3 }! P& m: X
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
+ i# ^% E: B# s/ I: e2 I; t/ U! H% v9 r, F* r
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? ' \' W$ r4 B+ [3 @& z/ q* q& [

! G1 y9 g% r; j$ q5 j8 }" C# \) ?0 `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.   t8 q( {; \$ S

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? 6 A+ N5 [, l" K

- E4 b: y# ~+ _8 E6 w1 ZLL: 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.
8 h) R9 R+ W: D
' x8 g' l# X) zLH: 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* Q& Q$ }& c: R) \# {

, N/ v6 I" e, f' U( l" O, I
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?
* t0 m+ y) {) s7 X

LH: 那么,要不要带件毛衣呀?  
: I4 K5 t5 f' Z8 a2 i# V; ]9 W+ c; h$ C& p2 T6 h5 g# H6 r: H* B0 b9 t

5 M3 v6 S4 f/ J
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.
1 a+ g  b$ R+ ^7 {2 |
/ L0 b" r" s2 \+ tLH: 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; u8 J' b  W% o' A* m% L
* L8 d8 G' o1 A. ]9 ]/ `- ?# H2 rLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  3 s9 i2 p- [* Y

/ P7 b5 h+ d% s3 M, z8 lLH: 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?
8 k( c0 k3 l7 M  h3 {) D
* K% }3 i0 ~1 p1 E9 ?LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. , _9 I$ B! f# {9 B

3 E! x4 ~1 `# n/ b1 ELH: 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。
  j' }) D% t. V: d5 i8 }+ p) q
LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
8 r7 L+ w$ D7 U$ M& y# h* c% o6 ?5 @9 a  O8 b& Q1 D# }0 r( L# w
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。 . [6 E, A; y4 c: O" Q9 P' M
& i) b7 Q( X' z* b5 H# c
LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. : z! ^9 w1 S' F7 w: P
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!  
7 V9 f2 p* v4 G1 n; j: y. m: C- I2 m

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。
