LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?: G8 i. i1 V/ _! j9 _; P

6 W8 Y3 H& c# X' X; q5 eLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. % |/ C9 m: ^% K$ `

! H5 ~) H' N2 f9 I. x1 J# ULH: 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......- H4 _4 j( L0 e( Z. N, |

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?
; E" Z- o1 B% E" j0 p: e1 e' Z9 F" C& q9 F1 P: ~, B
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. 9 n, Z) f0 i, O6 ]- |! u3 ~1 m
( q  a. L2 Q- e- T) B
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?   }! r# n3 e) x1 h+ |% W* R" w

; \2 H$ C8 M* JLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. 5 F8 W0 G) Q. u1 s" O: z

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。
