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.
9 v+ @: Y/ O9 ^. b8 K1 Q0 i' |9 ?: u! X) y
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?7 C8 x, ?9 n& C

& q, ?' }. r, Z' m0 H& a8 ?3 PLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. 6 ^& j* Y) `  a% ^- o1 b1 \; w
4 N; i" l( J1 E9 g
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......
  F6 O) X8 z0 n, U: R# ^( J$ ~1 g
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! 1 _0 a& S- V$ a0 ^
7 @1 U5 x) H8 {* [3 N0 |5 W2 ~
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 ]# f1 |0 v  i5 {

5 s6 ~8 ]1 N3 ^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. $ K  X9 |. W& }1 P- r6 W# C
$ X+ Z0 s! e; U+ I1 J: ?8 F* _
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?
. E; t5 X# v$ R9 t* P4 S% h7 L$ d6 h( L$ [3 T  u/ @. D
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. 8 F' T3 x' i8 \1 B/ M" g9 W
/ h# r6 S9 v: {4 Z2 \8 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?
3 ^$ _3 V/ P4 R, W" r7 l7 Z8 @
7 R: I% J8 F7 A! k, C& f. D% A& WLL: 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. 3 E7 }7 k3 M0 m5 N/ g; T! R

- I2 y, |2 k6 x' E6 @0 aLH: 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? 8 \. ~, }  g3 g6 l" T! X
9 g! w3 @% P- V6 e2 |; U
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.
' ?; X1 R+ `4 g
! ~8 q; i' W; d% ]0 r% BLH: 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。6 n1 n! m. C4 C2 C

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.

- a' e5 @! ?- [* G4 u+ \9 K  W* CLH: 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?

, K$ ]7 S' r/ ^. l6 p5 G1 }# E$ Y9 D$ n% x, Z
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.
& S' M8 _: i: e& T( D: ^8 N% W/ _+ R3 L
LH: 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?: r: o7 t; g# ?" X7 Y
$ p) P3 e8 C: L( q
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  4 A1 V1 f; ]% q
+ @/ U9 i8 y/ G; d0 N& {
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?
# }5 G- f! M( B  f' R, P$ q4 ]7 @/ ]. U
LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. ; b1 O- h* o! ]1 O" j5 d9 H; T

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。
& |1 o! ]3 Z1 c5 |. \- O6 ^8 r+ H  F% f' u6 Y. g! C
LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
. S9 j4 G* N5 I6 s$ \+ @+ H; t8 r  s! g. H- J: a
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。 ( f0 X4 O1 K  p5 G% t8 s0 h3 N7 i

5 k; V4 B; e' O* e3 C% HLL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.
" C1 N1 Q" E) Q/ d% yLH: 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!  2 v3 |1 \1 y) i

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。
