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.
- _. V6 R+ S4 |( }6 e0 Q
/ k) p1 l. c* m8 JLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
# V+ }/ y+ Y1 D2 n4 s7 ~* o) H$ F/ P2 s+ @; X4 I' H
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. 6 Q. y+ d2 M. n; |1 v2 z
" b/ C$ H) X5 Z/ a- u
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......
3 q5 c+ o) m# T
6 w4 D/ @8 O) M6 p4 fLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! - s( c8 R1 X8 j" F0 U- B2 `2 |: W
' r( h% {2 z0 S/ X
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 V* @2 B5 l4 b+ r
# S' s. n/ U( h$ ?1 ^: [
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.
4 k1 n7 q+ E5 K7 x- j
% y4 L/ f: m) N# D+ a$ s: R9 ]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? 3 h. M( [, K1 T. @) y: y
8 U. T  l0 q0 ^) s( h9 Q% ~
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
9 ~- W. Y/ S% d
* o2 b( d1 ^: a1 c7 i3 D. tLH: 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? ( U5 M; r0 `5 c6 L- J# 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.
3 A2 k' D" d- m, |' o
# J8 F6 k- C, \# T' GLH: 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? & {& U# T$ ]4 j# h: p

  F) J( z7 ~/ m! [* lLL: 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.
& z+ `8 u9 d/ X9 e7 G. o! ]# v; R# z/ Z& \
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+ a2 `6 n; b* S/ P9 J
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?

LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!
1 `3 i% e3 S9 y2 u  b7 t5 v
1 P5 y% T  m. Z. aLL: 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. ( ?: N5 u0 a5 }* `8 M. p: v" H( x

5 I) F" t# ]9 o. C$ f' 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?+ u/ C* c, P0 `

0 c; x; c- Y9 S3 ?: E& oLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
5 a5 q/ r4 b' }2 d& w
4 e, N  h% v( F) r: tLH: 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? - ~" W2 @4 I2 x6 d# H8 h. i

LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. , {) `( f# a/ B. x/ w" G' \

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。   t7 @# _- D. j: |

1 {% C  D5 B; K! s& s' ?+ xLH: 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!

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。
