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. ; j9 L0 W. \( G/ P) g

LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?

% v8 }% m2 e+ Y( {, u+ XLH: 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......2 x: l) `: k) _3 |- m! y9 J1 @

LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! / b$ l% S! f+ Q) _! r

% L: S* ]( |+ W! j, j& cLH: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 d  A' y! z5 J& ^

7 F6 P, ?( ~0 y9 E6 r3 WLL: 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 ~4 F5 p' l2 L* B" \- T: ?$ ^# G- V) a3 B7 G* K5 T- h2 n
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? & T3 `6 k- q: d1 V" b  o( i
' A7 A0 ]/ R. d; Z+ g0 _
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
. N; \1 n" D9 S7 [
7 o, y5 y6 g1 wLH: 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?
  [4 H, z' L6 H# i9 Z* f9 m! X* [* R& x
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. . F- L4 q. f+ K% V7 c% O

0 u% u2 p" {% N) S8 }# ?. l- _( I# b
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.
: p2 t9 f* F) B  s: m
1 x# s5 N8 T) ~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。3 o8 z0 s' y6 ?/ h; x0 R2 P

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.
7 F1 h; s" |& l  ~7 y/ y4 U5 ?' ?4 g1 A2 C+ @
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?

2 ]" F, k$ X# s: R& g$ K( N8 K" B: X* c* }, ~- J
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?
8 P4 o( ?$ f  |+ Q8 p  k9 |$ E
1 u& l1 L" e; |$ }& lLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
" l/ b! Q4 j9 Z. N( d# a! D: F
9 ?+ C1 i! L1 o2 ^LH: 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?

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。   H; w( Q; r) U& y' l2 R9 J

LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.

- v. G9 @9 T! Y. f) ]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。

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!

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。
