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. , d7 z& I' \! |- K. x

% P- v, ^# `/ L9 M' LLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
7 ^& j1 j7 a  e: W0 s3 p, q) y, [- _' w/ s% G! {( B& ^) }/ {
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
* C6 M6 B  `6 z3 l) ?! g
/ W  M  g5 w, j- ^) }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......' r4 i; ~4 A3 v9 k$ `0 }  ~
: x  ?. A1 d$ X$ x' L7 N$ V
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
, H2 k0 V  g: d% p8 V( `8 ~5 |# z# `7 H
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? 8 A  _6 S' [4 C3 D3 D# `

. R1 @2 ~% g' a; X9 VLL: 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.
* W$ G7 [/ k. ]1 ]: T3 t: Z( N- U, T8 [! d3 ]8 w3 K
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? ! _- @8 ^8 i" T. f4 \5 h) Z! f! `! `
+ L& D5 s% ~' Q
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
7 _& @9 y$ Q9 F9 b8 W' M  h6 D; v+ O
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?
( ?+ A# K# U+ C9 ~* x; P  R  i/ O+ {5 e' m
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. / Z) z- S; x0 O' z6 D! J

( Q7 S# V8 {5 s9 d' 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?
# n/ Y0 @) ~1 u. w1 f. f! E8 n3 o& K
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. , V- c/ P0 e7 ~1 y* E

5 Z8 Z9 Z6 z( ]. `; A; d" V) C3 a; dLH: 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。, {" k4 r( X! p3 |5 {

9 {- b- M) l5 m, D( u* l2 i' HLL: It's a long shot that my sister will come home to spend the vacation. She said she's going to Europe this summer.
2 V9 r) h2 c- K+ L8 M
( u- V7 E' u' RLH: 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?
, g3 [- q, B; d( G- A8 e/ `. X; s
LL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit. / ?, S8 A: A9 U! U, q2 i

/ x; ?/ I) F* P9 @2 F3 J& O' n  oLH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!
: N8 C) O6 S. n( Q# P+ R' h
  _$ j$ R3 Q$ E# a/ [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. 5 c" z) u, B+ H
# h" ^9 ~& m6 L! c/ U- s4 ^
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?
2 J9 L$ Z- X4 T+ n5 T+ S- Q! h+ U/ R( `- ^7 C% w# D0 z
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
7 z8 i% t5 _5 F" O- \
; A& Y0 U& n7 I9 U8 N& sLH: 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? # _' ]. P. N! o- i, t3 Y- V

( M7 {/ }# f0 R+ Z: PLL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. % r- D1 y+ P) ]3 z5 `6 L# v

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。

LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it. . o. l4 k4 g) `" S% r1 h

9 d( `$ p9 i" ^7 hLH: 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。
. I  W6 f2 M: B
  _5 O! O& o* TLL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. & V! ]& h" w2 ~& X* ~
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!

6 U2 p  `2 C' a7 T
! T$ K. _' D2 F7 s4 u7 W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。
