! E( ^0 Z6 F, Z- p" r+ d
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......
: t7 U( ]- }: v, }8 U( l4 \

$ v. g8 |1 n" D% r
4 D; k* b* P/ h# r7 q( `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?
7 M% w3 {' E0 W: t
4 e- Q/ _3 y6 s7 ?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.
  b0 e4 {: \2 f- w5 `% @$ e/ O4 D
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?
) U7 a5 i$ A8 t9 E- U% g. M6 d$ Y6 V6 P' N$ t( C9 I4 ]
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
7 T: j$ @# w+ _7 n6 `& H2 N$ g4 E' x* g) `0 i& F; J! R6 E  D
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?

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?
) }/ _; d7 K: L5 z9 U5 W$ w
' k/ _. W/ {" o$ n% n+ B& _LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.

6 N/ t+ u- g+ W! fLH: 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? ! G* c1 R  `( q3 b- |
