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. 2 n- h( L( X% C- N
; Q: Q! M6 z0 V' b7 W# P+ |
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
; A7 K# w7 }9 N% _+ `
9 w. T& K1 O( r- SLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
8 h3 s5 \( M0 G2 ^* @" G
& R9 T: g' [5 zLH: 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......
8 f$ J6 R+ H! d- T7 D* H+ S
5 B; `$ G1 C9 ?8 F+ l( x, qLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! - _5 A6 B0 J% u. z
, H  z9 N2 f0 b; A
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 ~' J$ h) _( M/ n

3 y6 ?" E; [. c6 dLL: 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.
# b; I9 \0 X# R$ w# n
* ]4 @* h0 p  k  `9 ]# N% h7 tLH: 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" s( _  f# q& [  x

- s3 m. b: h# z1 I6 `LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. , R' i$ ?# x9 }4 ^
. j* S) R) b2 {! I* S- |% x5 N  }' z
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? : V% K' y: J" y* y3 z, P

& [& a$ p: B) s+ v' A0 t8 uLL: 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. 1 t. q; f) g. Q+ a6 r2 Z; M7 e

; j; o% s* r  ~+ X& HLH: 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?

- k* C7 E* s8 F) @1 i2 y( B2 LLL: 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 h5 y/ |# w! _+ u3 I8 _) Z, _
' B- o' L' t! }& X  b+ P; V) Y
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。: y- A6 b& h: y* u! V

1 Y" {- B1 R9 e( X
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?
6 u& v& d8 K9 I$ s$ o5 B
4 f5 D- Z4 T5 O# L4 \- RLL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit.

LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!
3 T% h; Q4 F% l5 S$ i% P8 Y7 Q# ~) O; H9 l6 x/ Z  f- ~3 D: N* [- V" l
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.
6 L4 O: _& k  J$ e; F1 I
" W: p6 C5 H2 oLH: 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?
) L+ P% b/ H( y$ Q' V5 C9 J$ h* G3 t: L; N6 Y6 }
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
, X- ?. P  k; X) p3 N% `' d, Y: s4 _+ o& Y7 B  c6 }
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? 1 i  Y" E. N, Z$ H' n& @

7 F' l& ~, t) `- ?; I7 `0 RLL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. 1 D% X# H4 r: S$ ^9 ^

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。

0 W0 ]0 T; Z+ ^9 \LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
1 ]- `# n3 V, u% ?% u

. A: B$ L% N7 \- A7 x6 o) q; XLL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.
