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. $ v  P0 T! Q+ H- R

$ J  y( ~7 _& ]' m1 WLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?* t2 d3 U- a# O- e8 R$ h

0 A" v' ?% o3 sLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. " B  m! x0 U, Y5 ]
/ ^, h2 C% l/ M# 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......! b* e3 W2 b5 e: q

% u  s, Q8 D" {) f! Q4 f# bLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! ( E$ o6 @+ `% M  {3 P
' X" p* b* o- s/ m' d7 B
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?
5 i0 |$ d+ t% ~  O6 M/ l1 G% P& }9 R% J/ y
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.
  v! n5 ]1 _* t- J1 a# p
: V- f& |: q. n* n) {! P  HLH: 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?
. x  g, p" w9 Y
% f$ U2 L  T2 J- w" f( ^0 s" I$ PLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. $ j, g0 K% Z: s- Q
5 I5 a+ V0 X9 D' @5 o! A
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?

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。4 V  G- }( S8 p4 P* {$ R8 P

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? % p5 t: j! Y/ ^5 V: p' u# n, m

! l: D& z  r7 }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.
! M( V7 H$ Z: u
- t. _7 b7 L8 `7 v1 B$ c; @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?

4 U2 r6 Q  L: X; ?, V! r; iLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  # W+ i$ b' Z, Z: Y& p1 T" V
& D: h9 Y8 f" k+ N/ H- B
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?

! x" A  d) F4 g$ k$ v3 \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。
