LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
) m' x/ ~; o7 T* \  A0 ?/ G1 P# V9 O- L3 h8 I# f1 |
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. 7 x+ B4 P: F( i& _" _' T. P. v

% E; k: o& {* G3 l/ A; y& YLH: 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......
  M4 d- L# J' R9 P' X: j
  S( u/ V; [, a: PLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! 4 ]. u! p; q+ W4 D$ L$ H

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, W  B, h$ J5 n" g% E
4 _8 L" g. ^' X0 y, pLL: 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.
1 g# b7 W# t3 ?2 |' |& L) `8 k1 X1 U  q( L4 g# w
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?
+ A+ Z: @- j6 R! a
7 Q" w) K0 n4 L) {LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
' L- L* K+ s  C9 l! ^: Q$ e1 m" q4 s  S. B% b
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?

% Q+ W% X  L8 }6 r8 F  y) |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。

8 p& f& e4 Z) iLL: 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. ' \& ^5 _, v* r* i, p: @: X6 S

: k1 k% q) l& d) _6 ALH: 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?9 o+ J. Q! t/ W: p% a' j3 V7 Y3 u
% l4 o. n  ?" C( ~
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
# ^2 N( x# j  `2 b# H
; T1 i" l( G) Q3 ELH: 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? 9 I& W; j/ }& c$ M. \" h* r$ U

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。

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!  ) D7 q8 @# B8 D$ 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。
