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.
+ h( ?) o. N5 N5 Z! I( q3 D0 S1 Z0 [5 Z
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
4 ]* \( N4 d0 w' G
6 {- f8 E& J: d. F1 H% D  ^7 ^LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
; l$ h5 W8 L6 I" v* `2 l2 U+ ^. u! i2 Z
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......
) _( C1 W- N+ G0 r9 [8 K9 s% w* E& _9 j' O, ?
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
8 R0 _' D( g1 F& M6 G3 P. H5 P- o0 |3 h! T
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? 1 m: @8 u7 L6 E% ]( V  y! D" z
1 }. f$ H" p6 t
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. ) ]) w7 Q$ l: E. y

( E  w/ e0 j. s: h* PLH: 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?
# o" h' R7 u8 E5 ]4 N
) `7 G, [: V/ Y2 x; C8 f' }( t5 gLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
3 Q) v7 C. }" {3 c- A# f1 c) B, q! w3 F% 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? ) J% ^9 |( V9 l3 _  @* Q

! L8 _& J6 u3 Q* ~' b6 t" iLL: 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.
: M& c" E4 Z  K1 |# _; q8 s5 N0 j: S. q7 X( t2 W
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? ) M- l8 V9 Q6 N

: h) W# J/ Y1 t3 c0 ULL: 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. 8 k: o( P: X1 v/ ^, K! a: C2 g5 b2 I

7 ~! X8 ?& ]8 D2 L+ W, C7 k# xLH: 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。* q5 y+ c8 V& s. D( I
# X6 s9 W) s* h8 y7 a5 w/ k
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.
- o0 y9 o1 Q/ D+ d
3 a) I* ~& w" @0 `( F9 C4 Z! t# eLH: 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?
& u% P/ G3 v4 y( N3 ?) g0 ^" Y: M1 h# W, V5 e: A  [
LL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit.
* a" r& p! L% C5 f3 E- D

: {  B' W- v* y7 X+ U% G" @! `2 D+ W: [
LL:You could, but it's a long shot that you'll need it. 7 e1 m" q6 L) u  t( r

****** : K* D( |: M% |3 f. w
LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了! 5 D- o/ L; x6 N; X
2 J0 F+ q% J( K' |3 w  \
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.
: T3 h+ |4 [0 T. b  D/ N; M1 {. h& }5 A$ U$ e
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?0 }9 I( a- ~8 E$ r1 P

- c& w# J" i$ NLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  ! }, `  T+ S& i& s# [/ c7 O. \, P
& \- t! i$ k& m  R1 i3 f. |4 `0 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? ! C1 j$ w) S$ u5 X
! m) _, s- ~0 l& \9 z4 A
LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.
) z1 m$ |7 @8 b3 S; |  e
- P: z( I/ R$ d5 h4 fLH: 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。 , u1 X, @2 f' C; a
6 d) ], [/ e6 J5 d# v, |- a* m, J
LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it. 1 v* {$ F0 u/ @2 t* K, a

, L; y# v: a) bLH: 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。 9 E) x" f; U  ^- T. P

/ T. S6 ~/ A/ |: U4 [- B/ XLL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. + Q5 c- O- k( M$ C# Q
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!  
# r' A$ {( M8 K+ {0 ^( o- S; z" k  ]2 V2 o# J& N7 d
LL: That's right! 4 I' F& u5 E3 h. D' R- ~& ]2 h

2 T2 B+ U+ `: S8 D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。
