3 k  D, I& p1 aLarry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 g9 k; c- m7 I  ?$ O  ?% U, j2 H! o
3 F6 ^# m, f+ ^LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
7 t( D4 |& w. ]! {
5 h0 z# ?4 V) f% j. Y, {$ ?# H+ DLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. 9 \/ g' n- G0 J
; t1 r* a' Z. F" O: @+ `
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......* g0 @3 A/ a. M' f3 F

% `$ r# _; r% Z) N+ A/ \LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! 2 Y: x4 e, Y* M) v" {

' }" k. I' |# M. P# TLH: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?
# @8 p" D% L7 k4 K
5 L' B+ ~6 l8 D) ?9 u0 J3 YLL: 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. / p% `3 r+ Q0 H# q% _. u* m

; z/ ^: C4 v. B0 @0 uLH: 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?
5 O7 H# m% e& |
$ B& ?& V3 U  d3 a3 jLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
: e5 x5 `* j9 X- H
3 h/ _2 A3 G. W+ ]- ALH: 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?
0 Y) {/ W% U0 v! ~) G6 Z8 t( f! Z0 }1 Y/ H1 ^5 x
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.
. g% D$ _( x' c# A7 o. R' Y2 F/ N3 `% Q+ e- T: _
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?
1 u: f  e, s( }. Y
  ?, F# x% C& h' `LL: 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. 9 N) s9 T2 B0 R

; X; h( P- O3 d" }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。' P- z/ k% A2 s9 @% y! s: B  ~

9 P8 i' k, y( K7 s8 JLL: It's a long shot that my sister will come home to spend the vacation. She said she's going to Europe this summer. 6 C5 P8 U9 O# M! p% W6 V
; n; H- |! [1 ^% n
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? # t  C& v4 U0 Q$ v4 x( w
4 d" b, q. t, r; ^: ^: V
LL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit.

* ]2 m) j0 |$ F0 y( T5 uLH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了! ' M' x3 h6 Y/ I& k0 o8 j

0 D# e7 M' o8 WLL: 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.
: a; [' S% a+ }' A: f3 Z( y+ v* k6 ~  |, X) R3 j
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?
& x8 H: x  u6 r+ `" @3 ^1 e6 M) ]9 k) p! j1 b) c! a2 P* E
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
2 ?  W9 I; T/ v$ c5 l4 o
" x/ W  X+ s: U' `, mLH: 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?
! g7 ~$ @4 ?; b2 B0 q
; N+ Z  O5 H& k3 }/ u5 C, \LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. % t. O1 ?% N2 z

/ F3 `4 q5 S$ s8 uLH: 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。
* a9 I% s7 ]# y* z+ I6 _6 K
4 ?* k3 y" w  @) ^9 ALL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
6 o, y: i. [/ k, y/ m% C$ Y# e9 `* I0 w' r4 ~+ c3 r. Q: r
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。
5 p, T2 U6 @% R& ?  a2 q
+ [- X# V" }8 S  `: |LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. 9 o, I4 R7 Q6 a- K1 f  U
LH: 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!  
7 d+ o1 r) d3 Z+ ?/ Q. [+ [9 A2 b
# {4 w1 B1 b5 s3 f5 J7 ~% mLL: That's right!
5 h, `! X. ]5 k# ?+ s7 b! [7 ?' }3 Y$ `: p% Y' ?3 S
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。
