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.
0 L4 K: D$ L! e  @- @4 a6 J
; l4 q' p: O5 S2 u6 [; BLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
: d9 m" a* @0 X
' e7 r% [& A; SLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. 0 d9 q2 l. q4 T) v$ r

! g8 ]: i0 r7 I5 {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......
0 b5 f9 l4 x1 z+ B% \/ `& J( c6 ^7 }$ g9 ~( R" t
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
- C2 H8 X  Z5 w9 `( _" N8 s  o0 N. \0 q$ O/ e5 e
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?
% ?0 n4 F" }# p4 k4 z
, i9 w9 X$ C6 R3 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.
4 b. F9 z* c% ^: F
% D. ~2 N+ ]9 _. V3 rLH: 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? 5 c+ i: E* U, u8 S2 p) c/ y
  ]4 R  N- y, Q' ~. Z6 \
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
6 D) T* j0 a1 n: q" s
6 B3 G& |# E! V/ Q. `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? , B5 o( h! y! }4 r" i: N* C

) [- e$ N7 h/ j9 _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. 3 S) Z: v4 \; F- m* A% n; V9 N: B

8 s6 F7 v( V3 Q+ r& yLH: 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? , |4 y8 C0 O7 H2 t  D
4 `; k/ `; c( ?: C& }9 H
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. - z+ J6 p/ ]; \  U  d. H0 g3 z, S1 E1 A

; L. ]( s$ R; U, `7 xLH: 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。$ q+ s1 _7 Y" }# b& \
2 T. E- r" c: B% f# ]/ L# Y
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.
& C* i. M" Z1 ?  d
# @/ H! \4 `' j- g+ l7 K7 a' d: M: w4 GLH: 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?
9 R5 K) r( W: Z
8 _# s9 [1 c4 ]) \LL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit.
3 V4 `8 H5 S0 x0 N% a
* t% X; v& X+ t/ n. eLH: 那么,要不要带件毛衣呀?  
7 {- M. c# H+ R3 H$ Z1 w: m; t5 _$ t+ R4 ?: }. G+ F
LL:You could, but it's a long shot that you'll need it.
6 J( {" U7 U$ N

; q) x9 d& u& ^7 @- w: M7 GLH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了! ; _8 P% _& o! p* q4 X3 d& G
0 c  j# B( e  F0 ]# s: z2 l  g, C
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. ) [3 g, g' f1 W: Z

: m6 {  t/ u7 @9 p% \7 ?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?3 Y/ P+ d, B3 x2 b9 z

/ O- q  C7 f0 J4 o+ Q+ w& [  H! i8 OLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
$ e* {# s) {5 h5 U, U6 ^
! o1 T( I$ y0 x3 wLH: 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?
5 C0 r8 y8 v$ O8 e5 J1 h" f, {- S4 `4 G) J  F$ A  e' z
LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. ) Z7 o! H  \! X# ?! Q. x" K

5 l+ ]4 [: L8 C6 [  Z+ P* qLH: 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。
$ l3 [9 c3 d+ b: v$ o3 t8 E+ w5 e. D
LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
+ t2 A; u( b9 v7 I* p7 U2 f+ W& |# {3 I2 F7 M4 \  f# h0 i
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。 7 e) `7 L/ H2 @) Z) h/ C( D

% M9 Y' K) X) v- @0 sLL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.
- |% f) H7 w$ s% zLH: 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!  1 t6 X" x$ W( K1 _5 L1 K7 u
: t; J* i+ T8 a# ^& D8 A
LL: That's right! . d/ N- a4 ], Q) L

8 b+ m- i  Z$ C4 \& C  \0 i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。
