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.
; G+ h0 q$ t' p4 U6 G0 A
' i! A% O0 g+ ELH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?1 U* y2 `1 j) g5 @& T3 i
% B% Q0 H+ ?# }2 B
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
7 y) s5 D7 Z7 C  F. R; ]+ X
& m6 N3 h8 W/ L" a1 \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......
5 {; N: a! b1 m& U& @* \$ i  Y. n; t- R- _
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! / _& ^( K+ N+ l% l$ ?- R

; L1 S$ ^- W- o$ b' X4 [1 {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?
) U9 F) l0 D1 {# w/ L
* U9 b0 p7 h" p/ W3 iLL: 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.
$ E7 c& o+ l9 b2 K6 [# b9 e# S0 ]2 ^( P2 D+ i4 X7 x5 o/ o: c, q- n# W
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?
+ c/ \$ [7 P4 U+ U7 K
1 I3 @7 h# {, L! {* G: dLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.   Q4 \! R' ]# ?5 f# v

4 V" Q: q1 @; [7 C2 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?
1 u) p- h: d$ o0 K- ~/ l- j
$ j! b% U6 w5 e6 ]8 Y$ w! iLL: 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.

9 `# Z, B) E! y: a' E/ |/ z  HLH: 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? % P) F3 @7 J9 t: `, X

3 b9 ~# f' w9 {2 K: S0 Z' P2 NLL: 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. 2 _; ~5 o7 n3 Q4 [% W- f
* J- G# R. y3 `4 d
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。

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? - v7 Y( ?6 ^  i  r+ w( z0 l

# e8 Y& J8 W. j' _# p: K, qLL:You could, but it's a long shot that you'll need it. - L0 r$ Y* S4 {

2 Q( K$ X$ H: N' w& f****** 2 q# o6 x& M8 P6 Y* g# [
LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!
4 q" J$ A, D4 b5 E" X. [6 ^) I9 v8 K2 u8 w' z+ ?
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. . f3 P1 M3 {! F5 R
; v9 |7 i. H! k4 f; v) a
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?, i$ l' p1 g/ \4 I
; M8 g  Y8 `! A7 r5 f* w
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
9 G1 y! c7 r" J; P9 f; p7 p! ?  P$ k5 C
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?
/ T, f  N! _: O) [! Y1 n1 ?  }2 f8 ^  D8 Y& z8 A3 N/ ?
LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.

% A1 }% p* D0 L1 sLH: 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。
$ u) {) E: P6 {0 X0 _6 L
! L3 J. v6 @7 \LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it. + w' O5 y1 d+ w" \

6 I+ G5 V" Z' _3 C: c. ~9 C) jLH: 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。 * i  \4 J. Y7 U  O. n$ w

# c7 C  {- k  M0 e" @+ m5 ELL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.
4 W& v. i4 `0 YLH: 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!  ' W4 F" Q; X! T. d) v% i1 \# ~. d

LL: That's right! 3 l# C# K/ L: i. M) K* N3 R

% F% u; g6 E6 B* Y" i3 ]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。
