0 Z( _; T' G; E7 Y6 R7 SLarry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 m8 V/ _3 G/ C& V* @/ m: G
( b) Q) }- A- ~: G" O" i0 F
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?# J2 X6 U2 i+ {" b; Z) p0 s
1 Z; c* t; T( d9 _# a
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
6 f* B# f+ [" z) u4 K
& I$ C: t, Z6 s) v: SLH: 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......
. Y7 [; g+ Y+ S; I+ Z$ k$ v! a+ y, l. M9 c7 @2 ^7 b0 @5 `4 }  T
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! . h1 P+ e, G2 @5 a) h; w8 g

& l0 J' J6 g: U* h7 A& n  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?
' x1 K3 Q1 k& i- Z$ }
4 a1 e* Y# Z, ~  ULL: 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.
7 ^% [  h% e/ b' T$ O
) X  j: R. d* C8 JLH: 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? 2 X2 j5 w$ C6 S0 J9 f* ]: g! M

( y* T* q% b' i. ALL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. - }! U& J7 U6 H7 V& o
- \# ~* W1 a: m5 F
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?
& L; A0 l# V4 ?2 l" l+ K0 B0 S( N# s# X& b
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.
* L" V4 [, U) l. j- }: x! R5 c6 r8 O) J" {
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? ( n+ d6 v7 X% p" d9 _3 g& v

$ b/ n5 x- L: u0 K+ j; 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.
  }, F& D7 O/ \. r) k! n
+ }! N4 Q. |: }  _& ^) lLH: 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。" `2 N! z1 K6 q4 W1 b

3 P) H3 l1 R& x- cLL: It's a long shot that my sister will come home to spend the vacation. She said she's going to Europe this summer.
0 S9 E1 d+ J! Y* o, p
1 S: T' _" H; z) C% a: TLH: 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? ; v5 r3 s1 c* {7 X* j# h

! j: [; `8 P  [LL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit.
+ W9 A' a! o5 M

1 A# s/ @8 A+ r3 D* n- N% ILL:You could, but it's a long shot that you'll need it.

2 T+ i0 }5 u$ YLH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!
4 q" w0 \: A4 U$ p# V' r# u& U% x3 A. v6 Y/ r
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.
4 a" R) b8 z4 P
( h2 m/ J, [( Z& d) CLH: 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?
# R( i, Q7 r2 Q: N* {0 k1 G  N6 G4 D3 b& Y( d! D
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  & D8 O" A; T" D% r
, t3 U0 j, L7 {- h+ g( \/ r
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?
# q9 _/ j4 Y$ B/ C/ R; @$ Z
: q, B# m* x. F5 ELL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. 8 B2 `/ `8 Y( P& R- ]' M
* W8 J+ @5 z6 Y) b
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。 2 y; U9 q$ V1 ~- F# {4 ^, z/ X

0 o3 Q% V: m+ B- N5 m7 b( ?8 jLL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it. , Z" s3 C; `6 A* e8 K$ v

0 x7 s1 w# v8 V3 A  aLH: 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。 5 y1 z8 ~& @6 e- U7 t
! c% L$ e/ ?$ [) e
LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.
3 ?  K) R4 u7 t. D  P& k! i$ J, wLH: 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!  % o  j# X! @7 l3 ^# X2 A

7 {9 j+ T; o. R3 O' c( y7 jLL: That's right!
, y; ~6 P  V7 q9 ?" W2 s# d6 ]! Y6 E2 N. F' R7 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。
