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.

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......
: l8 \" g! [5 R* h  B% s! T. l% R$ o# L

; Q( A9 Z: }, H: C1 C9 }0 p6 s! Q5 ]5 i+ f5 |) A" F
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? 9 S/ E7 {0 x! o# f
7 p& t7 E0 _% o0 K8 r# ]3 M
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. 2 i+ e" h0 Q. q. X- n4 ^( A  d

- u& v  [* e: J  e4 o% JLH: 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? * p( L3 g& s$ O) Y* c  o

% X* Q" T3 n* {1 k0 v1 I. Y9 wLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
5 `  F$ G9 b3 ~3 h, w4 a3 Y% p* O% }6 ~- J* ]5 U2 m
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? " w1 n" g: O! y; F" l9 c

LH: 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?

# p- D/ h8 t! j9 Z, KLL: 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. . [4 r5 N6 `0 V, T. c  C: ]" a

8 m8 t! s$ ?) X, a4 dLH: 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?- O8 p- A! c* l, k8 F

LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
  ]- u8 M/ W. e5 l9 ?. _4 q- W# R' W0 N/ J& N* N3 Q
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? % p# w( f( A- B

LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.
0 A+ w8 B$ H, P1 JLH: 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。
