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.
7 U  H' c' p$ X  ~+ ?- Z* L7 j
0 p* G5 ]0 }2 S" Y- ?LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?, z5 q9 x1 ~- E# B4 T

2 i& M, r% x) uLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
+ W, v& _$ M( h# F5 y: v1 D9 D0 p: d3 a% p  e* z5 ?7 k
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......
! k! w6 j3 ^5 B: v7 x$ }4 o+ e3 i  P$ G* b" i: {: A0 \2 b
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! 6 c) Z: d: T2 `, F' M5 ^

* b* G6 J  L; n' e# z4 J+ eLH: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? $ x* S/ _7 W3 c/ p/ s2 D; c2 C

" X4 q# Q; c7 |2 y  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.
; Z# K1 |2 [! h$ L
' P& h# O1 v2 ^+ jLH: 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? : @( @6 s; z0 ?. W/ E; ~/ i8 n7 o
" ]) `( ?, A% o' m; O/ O
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. 7 y0 {& ?9 P( R1 D9 D

7 W+ z: q) ?( b! Q* fLH: 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? % k' l2 G, A7 A. S* B% a, i
8 {# T, O. f3 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. # b- Z: V: o9 k* i8 o

+ C- n8 J  z; n. a7 G9 F! GLH: 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? ( t  P) X% n8 u. t
1 O0 Q+ h; q3 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.
' t# L0 ?/ E" E* [1 T$ `- O* @  x1 \$ V. j
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。

7 z9 b5 @8 A0 `& K4 M$ ULL: It's a long shot that my sister will come home to spend the vacation. She said she's going to Europe this summer. ) W5 [4 U/ e; a1 \
5 _# ]) A$ B8 |+ ?3 C$ a
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? 5 F8 O7 A- j; j! V* b. N7 T

% j% n- s. p2 K. n: D- l1 e" JLL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit.

LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了! ) m8 o* U/ U' e

$ A$ D" }# @# yLL: 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. ; z: G% M0 n3 b' n
; `$ u4 [& g9 ^; h) n* s
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?$ S4 W3 b+ e8 P; Q9 D! ?4 B

8 d7 V; @6 q4 i) Q1 F6 hLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  6 d# E: @& O! G4 C% {% M0 p2 K

& I1 X9 n; A) t  O" Y% TLH: 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?
. `( Y3 O- N7 |2 ?$ s9 M, ]9 |1 y: d3 _% N1 r! v1 R! o( C7 R
LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.   p8 O+ }1 K; K; M* b

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。 9 ?9 E- s) j& }8 _8 K: Q
; X0 z( [- N4 y
LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
" f- y5 k' n" O" @: g1 q% p
1 q6 ]( H7 ~) ]& E+ l$ xLH: 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 S6 T6 L+ z6 u4 r& t- p$ s. Q

LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. # Z' o" {& M% ^: k
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!  # ]5 j% z( 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。
