' N3 y  @9 e% m3 }0 o  vLarry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. ! X9 _8 g4 Q( K3 H

5 v5 a$ m0 r: R3 u% p6 ]LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
+ A+ f: h3 W: [
/ _; q+ I9 C! h$ b2 f; A3 T+ ]LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. 9 [4 N  H4 q3 `% O7 w4 r. m& ]

  A& S/ n6 e; }4 t! L# Y. C: Z: NLH: 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......9 v$ Z. I9 ~6 Y2 A# {
- T0 Q# C! ~8 f! I& O, Q
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! + T. ^2 ^, s* B5 |! d: C

/ V; E& _+ E- I/ A/ d* qLH: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?
! t1 v, I+ o1 g3 L! e( [
9 t- |) \/ X2 L/ y  w5 w+ u8 N! N( xLL: 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.
1 l3 H1 _5 C+ {- ~, \3 P/ O: [) ~1 o
8 T( A' }0 j% V( a' F  rLH: 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?
7 N- o4 e/ c7 G: W* d) y5 V# w9 g! g8 a% y  C- G" `
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
0 b# h" x) ~: a2 M) ~# u2 y8 ?. ^
/ o8 b2 L" i; T7 E  F: eLH: 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? 1 O; S# u. }0 p  x1 L( w

" N4 ]4 Z  v9 w! y% n% HLL: 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. 2 k6 u( m, y/ ?( j

! U6 q) F  R. N9 tLH: 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 I" B7 I2 W. J6 A8 A) K4 n* g4 I2 ]! _  Y; I% ^
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.
" N+ X9 c  |2 J% z1 f) \( q( k" c% u0 v& l: g8 q% v2 E) 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。
9 e! c, Y& b# B& C, ~$ y! u4 U4 ^7 a8 x- i
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 T- X+ L2 A: z7 A
# q9 I/ b, T) ]4 Z& Z! a# N+ O
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?
- d! K! R. ]! [9 v
$ Q4 L' m' k" \% xLL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit.

$ h2 N2 k4 Z1 `! s5 r, J+ T. ]LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!
9 q+ e2 \5 b' J* V& v. v0 H+ Z% I( v
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. 3 G: g/ ?- [7 Z; @2 c* G+ ]
! |9 b. Z4 W& N$ K. T7 n$ n4 p
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?! V& N' b; h# R1 X

* g+ `# V! }! _; `8 u8 kLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  0 x7 p) G) g: i/ f0 c
+ b3 g8 a8 \  K% t7 M  M
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?
; j2 B7 l0 s, A/ N
9 @' e% P7 L7 D2 hLL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. + Q. B7 v& M; i( @' q2 c
8 \) n$ u7 g* u( ^5 g( t0 H
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。 8 V9 m2 A8 _' w3 |2 n5 [& P

  N* O6 u  M# K0 V) JLL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it. 0 B& }7 j; }( D9 l. N5 p$ x

( L7 f+ b7 ?  `) u8 GLH: 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。
" ^3 F4 N2 o* U& S/ x9 l2 H) a, B. K6 E' h  t1 s
LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. 2 O1 g3 i7 l! M/ G6 k
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!  ; i, Y% n0 w7 t9 _8 D* O

% ]# h8 i0 L8 y5 g3 e$ [LL: That's right! * x% b  k' p' x- Z+ K7 H+ J( C; X7 {( `

% i1 ^2 k/ G* \* M$ j: n  t! b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。
