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.
% r( b2 ^, k( k# A7 h8 s) b, [4 o8 |% P

LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.

" S6 O! ~5 Z3 X# A# }2 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......
7 a6 d9 ]/ i2 P- H# W
4 v2 W1 A$ S3 c! Y9 YLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
: f5 L" |8 b0 ~* z! X. s( z& a0 Y  I
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?
6 [5 |3 |* I! X' P4 g& @' O* P7 ^3 E$ |& @2 f6 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.
& x& ?+ n3 j" V: G: d7 G8 o
8 O, e& T5 D( D0 F" 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?
, T/ q# `4 X/ d' D$ @! Q8 F' ]6 w" V1 \
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. ; m2 I: l* Y7 v( `
% v3 e  I2 m& ~
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? 2 s5 h# d, r' b5 J; w7 z

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? - u$ l- k1 D& J9 b5 z

9 z% v9 N0 n2 A; j# J# MLL: 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. 6 h& h8 b0 R9 m* Q7 M8 Q

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。: `% l2 H# }9 }8 q

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. 0 W9 q* Q6 h5 d

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?  p# r6 P7 L! R  x% V* I
, D) ~# [" ?% w, w1 F- s" f! h
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
7 o; E+ T) R% @" p6 s
3 |. t) B4 o+ G, eLH: 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? 3 ~& @! X1 v! f9 n' h

- a( w8 A2 a8 ELL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. : @9 j+ Z6 _4 L$ p8 a7 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。 # G2 \& C6 f3 Q! W, }* B

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。

9 k  @! E1 ]6 Y8 xLH: 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。
