4 B9 G- X1 e  Y8 C2 xLarry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.
" E( h- o+ B. _9 U# e  `' d) A) j, U# U
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
7 u+ E. J! U( A# ]3 {: T' c' ^# Y) o: K# ?/ g
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
4 j& N8 z5 P8 _0 J6 ^& [- r$ z
5 T- ?6 o# I" ~$ |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......! j" d4 ?* q% [# ^$ ^$ l! D) ?5 k
0 B( q: P% X) _% h/ ?( x& }, t: K
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!   z* |) |; R% a. D0 z
" Z, u( d' L+ U& P, W; `/ P: M
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? / H; \; _1 U* ]) ~$ G
4 \. b& p& u, s  C1 x
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. ! r( ~: x" Q' \9 }  ?
4 d1 s( a* ^/ j6 ?% F$ \' A: G, G
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? 9 c. K/ c  t: E. `7 h" D) {
" X% f$ F$ O! J6 |4 i
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. & A/ _- g: `2 Y' b
$ y5 X( r. O9 Q! |2 Z3 X) E
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?
- B7 f% r1 B( t/ N( G+ u; L0 P. U0 I  }5 H) z2 E
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.   `0 z/ w" N0 f' l0 o  N3 {0 A

, T# v% `# ~/ ?% ^4 p" iLH: 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? 3 k: }" I6 ]6 R1 t# H1 S

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. 6 v& }; Y% L$ B4 P: S& x: a
6 l) u6 `  J: i! k* F& O8 B
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。0 ~3 R6 Y& ]2 X+ c

0 Y* c8 d4 h* A  ?0 f5 |4 RLL: It's a long shot that my sister will come home to spend the vacation. She said she's going to Europe this summer.
- f& r, ]3 V7 q+ s8 ^! Q* E3 Y
) L8 j& m6 Z! q6 i7 p& gLH: 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? . M+ r. e- v, {2 S' l3 |6 @2 Y

$ O  G. N( q* ]; ILH: 那么,要不要带件毛衣呀?  
  R: r2 N: I/ S1 ?$ O& S/ I- u

LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!
$ t) k1 c; @8 c1 a! X  O, R7 _5 L  B8 E# z" M) N/ }& t) q. ?
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. % I! K0 }3 h6 P/ F3 e

3 m, j: h+ t- e) ]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 r( i1 Z8 ]( t
0 i: f4 z! ?# c0 e* a, ]LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  # w4 O2 o! P  d) p8 s& t

  n. w! i, X  n0 bLH: 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? , l2 H7 h0 X7 m+ y$ ^  s. ]
* k% O( i4 A. h# A( \* Q
LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. 3 c3 o) n' E5 t2 Q( b

4 a0 x" [; i( q) A+ BLH: 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。
- p8 n+ g' G- k4 @* d
0 H6 A( m) C: r- X" BLL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
$ R  A$ L% {; `8 d5 t3 e
8 J7 Q9 w2 ?' _, ULH: 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。 9 E9 o* u6 F# c4 V
8 Q8 R. s3 H, |0 O, |0 G( E1 B
LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. ( p" I- k, t5 H. k6 v& t; ~
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!  
" S1 u2 B) Q- A2 _/ N4 C2 B" P0 @7 M: H/ W* K
LL: That's right!
5 o, p+ p! ~3 r$ H
2 E8 [3 o5 G" k$ K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。
