% T7 Z8 V/ E8 W, J& U, kLarry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.
: Q- ~% [* i, c) G* n8 L
: o" ]+ T$ E1 A) P% y2 @0 NLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?1 M0 |2 `9 N/ U+ U

LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. 2 U& Q+ u! w% @6 C$ a2 D2 u
4 N" o" F: `: E9 r  o2 e: `
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......2 x" a4 x. I+ X2 i7 W* x
* r1 p% ^- W& t( J) ^2 j, g
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! $ m. D  ?- s: y3 q- U

7 r$ R, e4 d6 w" k) TLH: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?
: V2 M+ ]0 j  i) n$ W) X4 p0 B; G  ]
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. ; l* T% l( B2 c* d+ c
) {7 o. Z3 ~* O5 o
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?
4 y& ^3 H$ `4 X+ G1 L# g
0 _" z6 p/ j* g+ Y3 ^+ BLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
5 B( l3 J; }8 f
% o% [2 W- Y. }$ m: c% b  QLH: 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? " ^* d/ e9 h2 m7 `% F

& o  X. ?+ r, I5 c6 o0 `9 V1 NLL: 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.

& o- C5 Q  U' H- }" ?# |6 [" L
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.
3 v1 r7 I; L) ?+ {# j/ j
& {6 X0 B) ?) gLH: 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。2 N7 u; \# D# E& |. M2 `

1 Q1 Y, S1 w( L: V8 J+ j+ M( \. _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.
3 n5 X+ ?$ z% z8 r; ^! Q1 k7 u2 \" x2 `/ {4 l; T
LH: 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?
; Q( M" w6 x9 }& O" W7 W3 c1 j. ~7 H% b6 |

+ H$ j0 A6 g0 n! VLL: 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. ; N; N/ P/ @3 Y

/ h: Q" A# J5 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?4 D# o$ z# _$ a, e5 B

% T$ K# }: P" s' r7 L& GLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  ! s4 j) p. Q: E( ?5 B3 M, _7 n" N

( u' o5 o8 B; NLH: 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? ( Q& B+ \* x7 y1 G+ [7 z3 ^& V1 _
$ {9 j/ K8 n( A; b$ F
LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.

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。
6 j( a6 B; ?. z/ U
" `4 Q, l& W* |% _( h0 L1 v/ SLL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
4 r7 E/ k2 @& T' m5 o& i3 \9 u& D- b4 B2 ~/ w
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。 7 |' Z( r8 ?7 a: J
3 A1 M/ T4 M5 Q: E4 {  q" B
LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.

, s% ^. L0 K! c# J) X9 e0 p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。
