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.
0 p5 [/ c8 t8 p; K
% |. X5 |* y# \8 p6 Q6 B8 h9 b& @4 q- oLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
1 \# ~* L  i7 _. l: a8 d% }4 D- d" C* U6 ^6 ^: f
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
9 I- ^9 h9 \2 H5 q' M& }6 H
+ f4 y0 G) q" {. E2 G! 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......- t2 f: f, g9 T( q2 }4 e; g5 z

7 `) _$ z+ u5 m" t+ |% eLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
* |; U3 ?+ z, u  Y% {
. L5 v- x+ W! X* S7 VLH: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?
3 s' Y: I) I: S, s8 V7 C
2 C, Y. w) ]3 H3 J$ TLL: 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.
9 x) v. K& _+ `3 `* m  d, E6 M. U, G5 S) B$ `6 |
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? 7 I4 r  G$ h& `9 ~$ I  W  }6 ~
, J! h' i! h6 U8 @) h: Q
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
+ U2 e4 S  N. Z) `7 g3 K; ~) U
0 v, G* q4 z+ |1 b$ JLH: 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?
0 I; E- J5 F$ }3 O& i6 z* K& @( p3 Q$ |) S  Y3 j' |' J% q
LL: 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: 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? / E- B/ K9 @; ~

3 F  ]* b, u* ~8 k* jLL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit. 7 \$ C0 m7 r9 V6 k

LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!
3 ?4 F- R+ e9 @: F5 R7 W% i, b# p
% A( S% O, n' Y* R, PLL: 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.
( p) k( ]7 F4 \9 r: z- G! Y: R/ K; i- h
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?
9 {) N. i' @/ ?% Y0 d7 f# j2 n# l& K" C3 k! o& t/ i
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
# j# c% ]! A5 V$ D3 m
3 K9 k7 o+ }( O' A6 R+ kLH: 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?

LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. 6 A7 j; R3 A# x/ v: [) ?; {, C" b8 \4 i

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 O8 G% }" s) f

LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it. 8 X  N' q5 X; d' Y- W( {% W5 p
" ~/ X, J" e+ W* m2 R& O
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。

4 j& \6 ^' f* k( H- k/ eLL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.
4 o$ o. G$ b) k! h$ _4 @! G' V, K# Z7 FLH: 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。
