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.
4 a9 u8 E! I8 R. X# s, ?/ c, w8 Y
  B! a/ b+ ^$ `+ h( G, b. \8 I/ R: ~LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?% t! q# L4 _7 N9 X
1 I. p0 T; x3 v: U
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
. Q7 x) t% U. E- z) b! H
  A0 j1 b, `& V4 O2 k# a& l6 qLH: 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......
' y2 m* c# i5 a% a2 ?7 g+ v# [1 W) E. s8 g. Y0 w0 Q
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
  W+ u; U% }$ |3 c4 t# }& V
6 \0 X. o+ O/ L& S7 D" F6 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? 6 A+ J' p# ]7 v# ^" ^) |; @3 {$ F
& w, ]# @4 P2 l$ z# j
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.
- [3 \' H" x/ G6 M
* V5 T& G+ e5 c% y* pLH: 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 B) u! b: Z( N9 u
" Q5 _; e8 p  R! iLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.   C0 Y5 H+ @% o7 W# E/ ~2 d7 j

3 f7 `% X  h, J- S; T) mLH: 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? 1 `4 w6 O' d$ Z  p* J+ c5 q

$ `0 D. P+ O- \1 U0 t$ Z9 x9 eLL: 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. ! s0 P2 @2 z2 H9 G1 N& e$ b3 C  @

7 T% K7 x7 O0 N0 DLH: 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? : L: J; b+ Z& v% W" u1 B* ^
" q; M% Z# f! I9 C, U7 v
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.
5 K- u+ R+ [% \4 y
; N& ]6 }9 W. o% [2 u# N9 g: k: [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。! m" {# |( j  Z4 R% d; H, @

7 D! {* y8 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.
6 H1 A/ G& @" {6 C  i) q3 i# W
, q: u& s' _' @* Q  CLH: 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?
& s+ V% Y, n( S7 `1 [

' f8 o* R5 {3 H5 G8 s6 Q
8 _0 I9 P, r. f$ D****** * L1 V+ i' Q6 \5 z7 p5 ?( Z& F
LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!
; f9 e4 y) M7 n# H3 K# h2 w4 x6 }. H3 u
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. # z) j  w. B$ ~! ~3 ^) B+ t. \, D( a
- F2 d* p% _; v
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?) i; ~' O( g6 m' F  y
6 @, y$ c; F4 `# A* w' D
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
7 }& ~, h. i+ t3 l
1 _- `# f' P1 F7 O0 g- CLH: 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?
& s" A# ^! L  A( l# y
+ ]# }! I" p% v. B( d' ?, I! hLL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.
% e5 V1 q" p4 D4 q( O$ }" l
; t' _% J  r5 zLH: 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。
% d7 t; ]# M1 ^( m* p
$ e% Z# P" u  y2 I  J) b0 i; ULL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.   V, d7 h; E2 K0 j. {, O

8 n) Q; t' S  J* |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。 ! J) ?' ]! E$ _$ E: E

! w! O- ]8 J5 [' X: wLL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. 9 P( s6 g$ L) @3 ^
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!  1 b$ ]$ \2 v1 y# t% _" |

1 }3 Q6 b+ I- T) d, `# \
$ ~. d( L5 a7 I% h6 H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。
