LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?

LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
+ R0 C8 s# ^2 I" h: @# Y
. P& A5 L& u& v( C, 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......

6 a' l6 d! C; X* \  a$ f5 V# h3 D6 T6 e
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? ' T; m$ Q5 |& b, R

8 q# G5 |' _$ A, \2 WLL: 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.

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.
2 k  S! H$ Z; e
% L3 v; c; E& }5 L9 f# O; OLH: 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?
