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. 3 v# h  b) }* |

1 h$ Y: f8 q, p- D& I: J1 TLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?8 L" C( Y9 `9 h2 G# \

" P6 E0 x; X" I& ILL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
& h6 O* v1 ^" r. o: W$ y) V3 c* g8 x4 ]
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......" `2 s- @. I0 N1 J/ e" b# g0 e! ~+ ?

2 `. {- A% [* V! j/ Q; XLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! 6 B* t9 b9 g. K8 J3 \# {

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 l$ t9 f: i) J2 [, K
3 \7 v3 `( i3 \/ zLL: 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. % Y/ n, |) X6 \6 c
1 M/ J* W( C+ A4 a1 X9 y' i5 [
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?
/ k% ~0 A6 f/ Z" g
; F, `) h/ L, J& Q! e4 VLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.

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?

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。( d2 _: K6 E0 O% m% [/ I5 G

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?- B' T( K1 R0 X/ ~
# G9 K# S4 \( k% l; u
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  6 f& M4 q# V  a: ?: Q2 X
# o- j5 r; c/ s' C
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?
