8 K9 Y' c- n  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. 7 H6 I; M4 d0 C* S" x
. d/ L0 K/ b! ~' Q' |& p! u) ?1 u
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
6 @( ~4 \" Y) a" L0 Q7 a% F$ y, T+ _0 V( ~6 x& r
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. 1 P6 h8 J) x. d5 @# O0 ], e

3 R8 W' f8 ?- hLH: 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 L0 g/ i$ r6 Y# S! G  i' x2 B7 f; T( P( b. w0 n: B" X
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! ; c0 r  }3 j. W3 Q' r8 D5 v% M; b

& Y# O) F( h( q- E+ A  |2 {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? 2 Y' X. o" S+ J3 X0 J
5 A% Y/ B1 `9 w4 \* N
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.
: t. Q6 u# x- e, A- L4 D
. a! p) Z# t8 ]$ d5 z8 oLH: 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? 8 Y# f8 J/ D. K, z5 s

1 }, B& i! G! d; j3 l6 u) l4 xLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. - ^* w" [3 `$ s

; F1 g) ]2 E2 [; x" SLH: 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? + n8 j) c) V6 \/ [+ [

) n8 [7 \' B- h" ULL: 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. ; F; ?* {7 f7 _# B# ?! W

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. , k1 j, {! {: a

' t5 A- I+ x: ELH: 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。
3 E' ]- m  o; G4 s  j$ B; [. v$ c8 R, H. [7 y
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. 4 U3 T" \6 a$ o/ g- {8 [4 v0 o

  m. G% v! R" j& k9 Q" ^- TLH: 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? / [: x1 R7 _+ `, y' l" F

LL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit.

LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了! , `, T9 ^+ w, {* L
( E$ H1 D8 @) S( w% f: z: x
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.
- p+ V. E" C! [4 e7 o6 M1 `1 G7 C0 d2 u# D$ z8 T; w# v, e& d9 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?
. \" ?  d4 L( {% {8 \; r9 h1 |% E& L* U; ]! Z
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
: j5 ~' T# ]( F0 Z7 j: e$ }+ s, Y0 w+ O% e6 o/ V1 I+ u  h1 Z+ F" X9 G
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? : \8 i, D* u# t5 o7 u) Y6 a# H
, k, ~- S3 `4 O) z, a( J+ I: }( X
LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.

1 }3 m* D- K- U9 d  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。
: L5 _; _# D: ]9 P4 h
& o0 ?; X* ~/ r- x2 F& TLL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
6 C# k! I: K+ L' K" H8 `0 @  T# J" ?
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。

LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. 4 \" n  t( h; R- A
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!  1 |  G. Y+ i) D
