, L& E- g' `8 z, h9 iLarry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.
; m) s$ `. V* a5 M8 `  n6 p
1 x$ F  \  H. g5 N, g- VLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
" D# X9 h  t5 g2 ~( Z# L# x
4 f, P, ?# ^9 ^0 q4 L, XLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. . `1 j' v; p; ^7 Y
! `5 e; U$ t$ V$ L6 {3 [
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......

  F) X( S; B6 l; z, w6 L, u
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? 4 b# R( y- X* y. l% D! Y

& s% p. X5 C7 p0 E( OLL: 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. * m3 N4 w3 V' t/ X! a) j/ R, |# k
* \) A6 a+ e8 z1 R8 |
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 z3 _9 O+ z, y1 n1 w6 r; A  @! ~* ?, B0 L  @
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
1 w1 N2 S; c5 H  Z6 B  F- P* w
' ~6 N2 g) q# f) mLH: 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? 7 R; J+ s) f' o# h- M

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. 5 W( Z7 \( h" ~+ P

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? 1 }) @4 q0 P/ K" [
1 \. M% `$ {1 c4 k9 R' ?
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.
3 v5 i/ x! m- R, W
" @2 q: @: V" l& Z1 oLH: 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。

LL: It's a long shot that my sister will come home to spend the vacation. She said she's going to Europe this summer.
9 M2 T: m( K1 U6 D  t+ m& U4 G* d  D& ]+ x5 k
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? * J9 s  D+ M5 o2 M  y

& u0 \! U& X! f) e, U4 L" TLL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit. 2 c: F3 ^' y, S: H; {# }) U

LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!
5 C+ c8 a  e' n3 ]; d9 Z  Q0 m2 p2 J( s# B
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. 4 L4 ?( G/ k* ~

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?
! V: b% r6 s0 Q+ B$ z0 m
* `0 H$ u; u. m+ R) m4 H4 e" k5 SLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
0 m: o7 N& z/ F  J* I9 s4 e& j8 }% a6 ~9 O2 I( I) t
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?
8 X% @  x( p# G/ P0 f5 C9 ]5 ]9 a4 i0 A' S
LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. # Q1 p/ k. g/ e

LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
9 Y3 \$ L8 z8 P5 E

% w8 E9 k* L' jLL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. 2 K6 X9 S% y) W
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!  * y3 p+ r; k7 j& @1 q0 z  S

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。
