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. , C% R9 z1 q" A) g5 Y

! `* P3 y$ y$ Z4 w$ ]LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
, n2 {* ?* v- {0 G2 O2 M* ]* G7 @  x; C: A& X$ X. m$ L
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.   W6 |) t2 u+ W0 e0 ^: D9 Q2 Y* x+ u

7 e8 D% _1 F; o( t1 r# s0 mLH: 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......
; A) z( ~. z: Z% C( P. j4 a7 N
; Q# @* d) c  D1 sLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
# c/ d, _7 r2 H% D. g; k' F% N
7 J4 h4 o  h: I$ `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? " R! R# l7 R+ @1 v/ X2 F4 g) Z/ @
6 ~$ Q: r! S/ K' D
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. . H  J; v& l. p6 f0 U. L2 Y, T3 X, b9 N

4 Z' b: v, b& ?" y5 m) z" K3 aLH: 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?
2 p; B: n8 e1 a5 r5 z' [0 _, F3 w+ a- E+ g( }0 e$ k
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. * M) R- Q: \2 G6 D

6 a$ t0 B& r: ^) j! ]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% _& I2 ^3 @( q8 g) I
) R  a- m( I. n' J* F2 k8 m
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.
7 ~: y9 [5 Q+ X- x: |! ?
" E9 @+ m& f( y2 n; C- rLH: 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?
9 {) _8 F$ Y* d; u/ \# i5 g! [7 k; E1 y1 `7 w$ Z- H+ 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. / s* n& |, v, S. E# I: ?4 T

8 ~" \, L$ d' r) M6 U; _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。7 `9 J$ M* _7 q. F! o2 l

  v- F1 E; P0 O# M; T* r7 V3 JLL: It's a long shot that my sister will come home to spend the vacation. She said she's going to Europe this summer. ) Q  E: _4 a) ^, K% P

& R! {2 i0 j1 }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? # G& I9 F# n6 T2 B: j' i& z

2 o& V  @+ S) C/ A1 [, ?LL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit.
1 M- K, c" R8 @. v9 o! _) n. f5 A+ W" K. w: n& _: x# Z. U
LH: 那么,要不要带件毛衣呀?  
- f# `$ @6 J( S2 Z4 V( J! K) G2 k! `( N
LL:You could, but it's a long shot that you'll need it.   x3 y8 d; i3 L+ h$ p3 h6 A7 q

LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了! 9 r5 I8 a4 g4 @9 G
3 |: R9 Q. {9 Q- t, [+ V/ y2 I/ g) f$ 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. % \+ {) ^7 v0 M# p  m! u7 r7 d

# F1 i% R: j: @) h, 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?
4 V9 x4 P' p) ^- v: ]; |7 X
- F5 l  @. u! p' J: f' H& HLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  0 r. L& b& h6 K# h4 [4 o, Q4 G& }

3 F. I+ T# b- u! e- ]7 L5 xLH: 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?
( C/ p* |- Y) W+ @! W4 \8 U' p' N3 E: P+ Z* k7 r; |( m
LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.

. c+ K6 Z+ D5 X% c% E; hLH: 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。
  U9 P6 G# B: P; {8 K$ h/ ~2 N+ d; s9 J; `1 j( v* T/ ~7 w: N  f
LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
7 V8 j2 B; v& P3 C0 H, f
; k, m7 x0 G7 ]. r& [6 f% j+ WLH: 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。 ! n" c1 ]* X: ^. _

. E" f  h4 o9 T: VLL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. 7 }2 [6 x# c" b
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!  
( b% E0 a6 P. j% u, R" M. `# B' w; _
LL: That's right!
- k: J# ]3 r8 y3 J" @
. I( O4 |* F8 ]6 J* t. n# e8 g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。
