* k) y: `# j0 a3 p; A# S6 b, N; ?+ GLarry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.

1 J0 A# F; p) ]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......
+ t7 S. c' e( Q5 y6 j$ }1 E2 g6 c+ w3 C& r) M: K
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
" F& {! r* B* c7 F1 P2 I, C& F& F; B2 _4 r" e- m( b
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? $ H3 w9 n% a1 |
( w1 p  ?/ S3 X. [$ l" Z
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.
4 V9 C3 Y2 }7 _: ~* Z5 Y
: P0 h  Z9 c, ^7 [# i9 ]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: j; Y& K: ^0 E/ p+ L( m  Q% y! J2 ?( Z8 O: O0 W" ~
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. % u/ L" }; `- ?8 Z* t

6 Y: @. A; o2 d0 ULH: 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: 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?

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。

( n5 Q- D$ c2 ?5 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?3 ?9 P# W. i2 [' U* b
0 L$ a& U9 \; A  p5 @" a3 f
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  4 W% a$ L. Z5 ?1 m, N  H5 r

0 L8 X+ A2 L6 tLH: 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?
