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.   R7 Y; [5 U# c2 |7 V
' f: [) w. n! V
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
7 _( d/ h8 a3 x. ]8 F  X1 K- q- g4 I) e! f2 g
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. # z1 N, g6 {% u9 E$ p2 u8 o6 ^

& f; a8 k) `* v" N$ D& PLH: 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......
/ c0 G3 d' B4 L& ]/ }! ~. O
) U3 N4 n7 }6 L- Y& kLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
2 N" O: g2 Z5 U: X$ s. g9 D  X: a/ F0 r, [. Q/ P9 o
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? & F5 L1 p& I4 [6 n5 t  s* W
  @' ^5 X/ h6 r- U% S: T
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.
. ?  v. R* f9 t0 L1 j1 j0 I( V/ k% |8 a) h8 [5 `& C' s* Q
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? 3 Y; e3 I, ]+ [3 b( F2 F6 Y, z
+ d) x( c4 a! m/ f+ ]
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
) W7 H+ y1 }/ R% z- ~2 t6 g7 ?( E. L) W8 ?
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?
  h& F3 s# O  P9 f! W: y

# ~% q& q& u' \. LLL: 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.
% K+ k( _7 z4 N$ p' D2 r! H, i- n/ h
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。  p  y9 d! B9 [2 a3 F+ w6 }1 ?

4 b& N" e5 K9 V7 T1 O0 w& bLH: 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?

LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!

, q' r% z, A" H5 J0 XLL: 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.
+ M4 g/ p, O1 ~7 C4 f) h
6 \$ ]* Z: ?' q6 ~+ V* I2 XLH: 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?/ Q  ?2 o" B6 M  s) o) }
+ |7 a0 n, R5 M" S
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
' T& B' t3 s: Z/ n: A; j0 ~" ~9 \
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?
  a0 m0 k* l6 P  ~8 j
6 L, F# f/ A! w% M, aLL: 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。 5 [7 X  V, D3 L  z+ b

" N: e# x9 V" a$ E- d* S
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。
3 B% r: [1 ]1 p" f4 Q0 @. V; G) q: X' v
LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. + t: |2 |' T: {) v, P5 i! a
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!

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。
