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.
$ N# y5 A/ m  w( y+ f! o4 g
+ W" A1 W2 i2 tLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?! g' a* N8 U/ C: g! [3 |

6 [; j6 c2 Q/ G5 @. fLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
& {* n; z8 g# H/ N0 F. ^
" l0 @) d  \1 qLH: 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......  s( @; T7 c  d1 b0 x! u

2 t) ^8 N  s7 GLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! , Z+ x0 _1 ?% l& P/ l( a. k% ~

/ Z/ D0 d  j: J& x- ], 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?
. f" ~3 B- D* Z  H
* C% ]9 H! C( a# \& m' K; BLL: 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. * g. g& m1 ~  |& _3 X

' @4 [: O! ^* y, D0 sLH: 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? - Y! Q9 c$ k* }1 M

7 S' S& Q& e% ~) U/ @* p  P' K0 QLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
$ h4 V1 F& s# m+ w( a  j7 R4 k) r' u8 h
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?
+ w: W  G) c6 M7 U1 F, r: ]3 f- x( r/ H! @$ K2 E' {
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. . Y* h0 v( j, h/ I4 f* l
+ G# {4 P5 p3 Y$ s
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? ; S. c8 n3 v# ^! e, D- C9 F+ j4 \1 V" A
9 s/ S$ c- D1 c6 t( N- h9 {) ?
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.
  |  ]1 x* \/ }2 T, Z" w0 u4 F0 p. H
  i- R$ z1 Y% Y. {* E' jLH: 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。

3 L# F4 L: C8 u' m  d1 |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? & O) N/ R% f$ J; `

LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!
9 ?9 t3 n6 \0 r7 [  Y, N
. T0 r& w  N9 c) L( WLL: 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.
6 x. j) \* r' ^1 l/ w+ m( s" h. W, l& L8 N6 E2 v: O9 ?) P3 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?! ^. g5 y* T& E

+ b" I' F3 v3 F+ ?LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  : u5 J' y# A1 K* ]9 r2 P
% V1 h- H9 q; J- h7 ]$ x" y
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?
0 ]$ c* H  Y0 a( i' c3 _, p4 S) y; z0 H
LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. 1 V" w: \- U, R* p4 }+ \
2 q( i6 X+ Q) D0 y! Y- }, y: ^2 u
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。
7 Q  w5 F8 n. k* \' p0 [& T; {3 r9 ]- {% c
LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it. , H0 ^4 o7 x* r+ k2 B6 p
" k1 r) n9 X/ w
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。 6 w2 y- Y- l' D( t. ^

6 W; W( B# |) K2 I# q' JLL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. 9 Z; [4 s* i( U$ d/ h
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!    W5 q7 ^3 T& R+ {4 n

LL: That's right!
6 B- G" ~" f) o3 W6 l3 U
. s1 E0 G8 \7 i5 _2 X+ c  z9 W' b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。
