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.
5 E7 V: t4 v5 m" ?% P
2 A& n# h# w( B: @" q7 GLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
; Y9 G, N4 a! O* F" U1 Z0 \
' |2 ~1 c# H6 m# {$ f( l% ]LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
3 G) N: Q( E; g2 ?0 _% r0 |. I4 W  [
0 p  v9 l3 w5 @0 m. ~, n: dLH: 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......, l2 G( V# G4 k0 t8 d
- H7 ~* L6 X3 U$ i! u# D
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! ) {9 }+ l3 K  A1 F2 F

7 R5 ]' [& {6 }: q. JLH: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?
8 [" D! A* z  {' |, L
$ u3 Z+ x. z7 n* K; qLL: 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. . M  B2 k1 u- _) E( s

" H) `! O5 y+ [) G3 }0 hLH: 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?
0 A3 C+ I2 ^: r. E2 C& a& f  M! ?5 A* ^
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
8 c, d3 L5 P8 k* g5 g  Q
: O& T$ I0 H; {( aLH: 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? 4 h( [5 B# X/ j! v

8 S7 D2 q: |# N4 q* c3 f6 zLL: 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. * E( n3 P7 A' D. h

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? * a+ R% o, ]/ s; D

8 T* p9 k3 e' JLL: 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.
0 b3 H7 q/ n8 R9 Y) y' }6 k' U
/ I8 |3 t4 B2 q* ~: lLH: 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。

% I# u3 d2 s  f$ i6 TLL: It's a long shot that my sister will come home to spend the vacation. She said she's going to Europe this summer. 0 H5 x# G6 W1 {% \

& ^8 U* c+ m- w* ULH: 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?
7 d7 r0 w1 W: p4 }

4 Y% ?3 b/ e4 I2 ?! z7 w7 m
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.
8 q$ n. \1 g) ?! q; F/ d
/ s7 h+ z, L$ I6 \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?
5 k4 m& ]- A+ o% d- u5 c, a0 W3 O7 `
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
' _3 o& Y  `$ q) ]6 Q! r9 p9 l2 Y& _' Y7 z; {  _! E) q: a6 O) F
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?
% A% u9 |/ Y+ H$ v8 D: Y  B
0 n9 M, c% I- ]7 L4 a. d" W9 ALL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.

9 c6 L( N- [( f; H6 y
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。
* \) Q3 K- R+ Q/ f. z2 b" l/ s" q& C
3 L; p0 Y* K3 I/ _- ?LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. 9 y/ N6 W3 n1 Q% B+ x0 M4 J( m
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!  ; N+ @8 _1 O# G$ b0 k6 T* J

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。
