/ P2 f; O- i* g5 W5 B% U/ WLarry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. + d0 p* R8 J6 s$ M
* u3 s& b2 W9 T4 d. ^
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?& g( e1 q% m% V4 f9 ?
$ |  D# T# R0 g! W7 j( F
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
2 a, D" x8 u% K9 k4 w" O8 U5 g* |
, u3 p  n" u; |- V1 `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......% s, k9 e  q5 b6 j
4 A% I* P6 S* n! v: T
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
2 C( y$ c* O, ~6 B. i6 R2 T: |0 B" b2 z- p3 g- v
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?   y: |! h4 l/ |4 @3 P3 |. t

! Q6 c9 O% U, T3 l  v9 hLL: 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 g3 Y+ `" a1 l1 ?8 I* R2 q4 V6 O7 J, B. b% I! @  J
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?
/ ^) Z7 g9 p2 t4 n+ J/ _4 ?* D& [8 C& E" }1 w+ V7 z" T
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
+ R- ?; y% V% M" w5 u3 W4 b% s% Z
* A* a& g, m( H" |1 WLH: 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? ) m5 O  A- c# O3 G3 d- r( O

! k5 z0 I5 L" n; i. o/ jLL: 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.

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?

0 U! o& ?( d8 X  uLL: 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.
. j  C9 `& N. R8 c( A( `6 Q6 d! [7 w- V  j% D: U* r
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。  r2 \- _: n# b5 B2 {; d. ^

4 ]  L. V: n- t4 H& h3 q; b- g" \" C9 S0 U/ N+ \
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. 3 I" a8 P: F: ?+ v
& |( H6 n7 w6 S9 U
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?
6 j: d; c* V& v" M* B5 e; i5 |! r$ F3 o1 O" U7 V
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  $ ^* Y' H7 a2 L8 w* d( P

0 K4 c7 Y" T5 T' ]( \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? 0 N0 y. e% {# t. M/ Y0 P, ?
' h; i) V; G6 W. D0 S, m
LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.

2 `/ T5 T8 B6 n2 R' G6 nLL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.

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。 . N* n  B* L- T8 a

LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. / W) b: V# W" T& S& C% f, C
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!
