, g+ R. Y. D( @, `% r: ILarry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. 3 t$ r' C6 `+ M! u
  x* e6 U5 h# g; ]  Z" Y2 G
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?; L9 V& T# ~+ t! q
8 _/ {) [4 I3 @) @6 y6 c3 X
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
7 t8 w) d1 n$ E5 p" U6 W/ _. U& T
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......
; `; h4 f- H$ i) p; ?3 k- _+ a! ]6 w3 {* [5 H
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! # z2 ~% e7 l; a7 E" ^

' X3 N+ X0 H. n4 t2 wLH: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? - {$ h, O) K* W) }7 [3 A5 H9 m

2 `% D: v  j( t& _6 s. kLL: 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.
; s) G+ l5 D$ t* P
" A$ x9 `. H6 qLH: 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?   {; j: D2 `  g

, J- Y8 K" L/ d( S7 Y6 m- aLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. ; U3 u% i9 c$ [

, {; J5 X9 ^1 b0 L; 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? 3 s/ E' A6 w: `% L6 I, t8 ]# {

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.

: Y* e+ W: p1 i: G, u! V
" `" K. U; X" Z3 V9 T$ w! `' ~9 oLL: 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.
9 j5 |+ [( v) m$ K1 I" t2 R/ G; m# Q2 y4 i
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。

8 f2 \, l! G+ W, g) l' u: XLL: 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 A9 c  R' U; s  E5 x) YLH: 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? 5 g6 m1 ]8 N9 I( u9 r7 e

2 J0 N  u& u% f, L& Q7 fLL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit. ! C4 |. I" _$ f

) q5 c& m8 C8 D2 k5 P- 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.
% o1 A& {+ `7 {" ]" [, Y
/ z% Z7 B5 D$ A- s$ f  NLH: 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?  H- S6 e' R. T4 G

8 l3 x  I7 y8 N5 ^4 Z) TLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  1 g& ?/ e" f6 a. V, |/ ]  @
, V3 P3 p% S1 R9 g2 @8 t5 T, C
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?
; I8 h8 q6 r) }6 ~; f0 R* b: O* \* g6 w0 t" T2 ~" U  ^4 Q
LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. & a; D3 r, s2 R! C* e$ e

2 e' O1 Q+ ?) S* K8 e2 O" B' ]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。 ) W3 A+ x- I7 s+ z- a, Q

LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it. * T: X7 f: L" \% ^
3 p! X( k* a# S/ N/ h3 a8 b
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。
( E5 g* ~" K" o5 p% R* A$ S7 Y( |& R% O' G( G9 H) g! a
LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.
! F9 N5 ], A) u$ z7 WLH: 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!  4 o" Q5 a& P% i6 y9 Q

8 C/ S9 E* n; C1 W, I  z' T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。
