1 m' I# `  a) C8 t+ O, _2 zLarry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. ; v- O% F- ?! j, p- t: s! d

LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?

: ]: i! t2 b( n& h8 f* JLH: 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......
( K8 \8 c2 u0 }' Z. L" x" l+ V7 X% v+ i( W3 j5 u
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
6 y0 C+ J6 a! T" d* \8 s) p. s0 o6 U2 F% m, ^5 J) Q
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?
! L6 ]8 }6 ]( K) }$ w( @: N# l; }9 a5 D
* }. G9 G+ Z6 J; x4 K# x6 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. " `2 t) c! E) c: q8 ]( R
8 w6 X2 N3 q) Z; f
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?   l7 r9 y, T# M0 c

LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. 1 ^! C& V1 X. m. c$ 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? 3 w1 e% J) ]. v

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. 9 h4 r' k# t& X) {) F$ \  J

- W( T; _/ O0 a6 c2 ~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?   B7 U$ [# L7 D6 s& f2 O

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。

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?

0 L+ T  A% o/ q# d6 |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. 0 \6 B+ Z: ~& ]  F
8 v! B9 ~; n: ^& g, W5 H) |
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?
1 W9 A; I% J: v. F2 ?7 t6 g) k- F  T( u4 H" m  A6 B; K
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  3 F, p! J; Z$ ]4 h
; R% _  C5 H) k% h: s; q" b# n- \) Z
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?
/ B. I* R3 R# I# W, U' E6 H2 q0 i9 ~1 I+ E% d+ h( v
LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.
, M3 |7 u5 J. D" I& W1 \0 K4 D" h# t; ~& a3 b3 J: d2 h
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。
7 h  p; X) m! _& A& }1 p& l- A  `- c; @9 J
LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
5 k5 w' j% f/ s5 ?& H/ o, r# ~( B8 W% @5 a; P* d$ ^
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。 * {& @4 Y+ f4 m$ |9 `+ @$ z7 _3 U8 I2 c

9 f9 g+ k5 m9 e8 {  }6 FLL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.
2 ]3 j3 u5 w6 g: r7 F: KLH: 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!  , z' Z8 h# {8 `9 I

1 S$ n/ n/ D1 P. XLL: That's right!
% G! Y3 L! i9 M, _  [  }; |9 y8 r
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。
