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.
% m3 j2 u' `( F$ O. a4 C# z
6 c) ?6 l8 l/ s  v. h1 YLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?3 }" t' R& |+ m4 H& R/ s

6 X: J9 A" @) \2 s* vLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. : E& ~& H) b( `

4 d8 o8 B( |) N" ?9 tLH: 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& V. Y9 X. N& P9 j, Y

LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! 9 ?% e7 L% O) `) n. X
! e* o6 D, u( b" D" J
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? & U2 ?  g( a( G" ~* r7 E* |. ]

1 K8 J! R9 p' rLL: 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.
9 k# v  \' I9 q6 A9 _0 v' ^
/ x! M0 e4 ~2 d! K/ r  T6 iLH: 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? 0 D6 }& M7 {7 {6 [

, D4 o- v& f$ aLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. 8 n* d. @+ \! b; ]0 @1 \
+ H2 \' @) w0 V
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? . m+ j  M- a, V1 p" N4 B) s

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.

4 H# y, ]2 F2 K& Y0 iLH: 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 _4 {( s# v- H" z7 Y3 h. b  \9 s

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?
% D6 M7 l+ _" ^

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  Y, T9 f0 ?: B, ?

  [' l9 R3 W( d" K* C! H9 cLH: 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?# C/ I7 Y2 G! M# a

) n  Q3 e+ [3 d1 A# S5 C3 {! n: HLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  9 x$ f3 _7 A) V6 ~0 d$ z2 j- p

2 I) ^& b, O0 M1 C. z5 LLH: 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。

LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.
6 p) J7 F6 S% M; eLH: 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。
