  ?% q: |- D$ ^. [( uLarry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 y" x# l' L0 d- B2 {7 K/ D$ R  c  i/ Y. v) E% Z
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
8 |( D# M) S* Q" H7 y$ V5 m! }& @/ k
! g; E: |) L5 w& mLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
6 F1 s- Z2 `# D# e
2 M4 J0 k, O. U( t# M- _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......4 r/ f- `: C/ E2 a* B
/ b' X0 k* U; P& c2 `! M" A
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
2 w( I  C% u2 G# Q1 l
' }/ w) W" z8 Q7 T: ~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? : v9 s7 N: S* e

) E& p( N- [9 X# K" PLL: 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.
. l; x1 J7 c, o! w( [1 c7 v9 E
+ [5 }+ E4 Q8 I# ?* nLH: 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? : W9 c3 ~( m1 c7 S
8 n; n( z8 O) O4 s2 m  }4 f; F
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. $ C1 B. {, N6 V% a- d" L
. r  M1 {# d6 n0 Q, `
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?
1 I8 t# Q& D  K3 V' S% w# U! {& \
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. " ?* _4 p2 p5 H" R, e* N

# a# E5 b# f% i+ q5 H7 {' xLH: 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? 6 l* ]& @) H  q6 U' E" f
" u: L1 l; N. L) R
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.
' w9 p1 ]% D3 e/ O( f) ?7 m8 U9 V& ]: Z' j; X
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。" X( @, n" e8 p

. ?# \6 y( T% ]5 ~LL: It's a long shot that my sister will come home to spend the vacation. She said she's going to Europe this summer. - d; X2 `! B! S! z7 E: q; |

* }+ d7 s6 O$ O0 \# oLH: 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? ! B, H7 j1 g6 G& Q" h
2 j* W. ~( G4 N# v; M1 h2 t, p
LL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit. ; Y2 V+ ^  M! B, ?3 r5 U

LH: 那么,要不要带件毛衣呀?  * P. [  e$ \' Q; r8 U* ]2 S

2 H& y$ y8 K7 O  Q8 KLL:You could, but it's a long shot that you'll need it.

8 [/ k( s6 F9 a. G6 _# y0 j1 K& 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. ) t+ e( x% p8 Q! ~' Z( U
) V& E, A6 N- X& r5 a  H9 z
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?
: R- ^$ I) v2 ^" b9 B6 b
5 A4 L; Q2 B  k1 TLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  8 S7 k4 h4 N! l( E& c- `  v

" ]' d4 M  d! [2 s8 r8 ?5 q" e0 jLH: 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?
# n4 {/ ?0 h! C1 _
+ L) S4 w8 p* u: {. o# A) s: E; j# nLL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.
" F, _3 U7 s% @- j0 o  h( P  W, y6 ^/ g/ z) w) l1 a8 L- ~
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。
4 `6 v! M) j' H8 \! r3 j$ {/ }; n* I
) L2 {5 r* f# \7 r! M! K- gLL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it. 9 Y8 q) A- O3 ^% I: @
: D- Y3 u& E; ^6 g9 ~
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。 - y& Y. @7 ?) F& ?1 \2 p+ }

( N2 _) ?% H, \& A* @1 _6 \LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. 4 A: }$ j4 N  \5 A5 n
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 U6 m" [# h& M, [9 c  h6 a% i+ j! W$ w" w, f

8 }3 K. q) }+ {8 s! D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。
