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. * U1 A4 Q2 s$ T3 P1 `% s  A2 U' o# u

" s/ \. S5 B% t6 S% d$ s" dLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?4 K+ S5 a- v5 \2 ^4 u

# }% `1 G" q* K; x: X; o9 m- h% aLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. 4 b7 X3 \; x7 ?0 d" J3 B- H2 h
9 o" a7 y3 W5 @: E3 v4 M/ M: A
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......
" \$ Z- Y% G/ l9 I3 s& W! o0 r5 B! |. @2 `: d9 N
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! 0 i' j" z! q; x4 H$ p1 o: B! w$ @

" c  }3 i% i" W' z1 Q) r+ n% j: JLH: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? ! I3 @) M/ [0 U
( _. D0 I' x% {- I6 g
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. . O& I' A! e9 j4 G! i0 |
4 f$ B1 W/ j7 |) f( t. D
LH: 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?
1 k0 R  s! q- G7 q* }# G0 J9 R/ B7 D6 h& L
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. 4 s$ c& U/ |" P, X

% m; O" r! Y9 n3 S5 r& |2 aLL: 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.

( ?$ K% V% z7 x& q# P5 m. t7 T* |, a5 ~3 }; |2 E
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. " T$ w# h/ |, r" f! b  Q

8 L' I/ m: t- e; PLH: 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 ]5 u2 Q, f' J/ _$ D- ^* P

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. # V. n; }0 A8 F) Z, Q

/ F# }1 d+ k( VLH: 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?
9 u5 k$ i& h0 t5 R! B
) m# T) Y: Y: F( |+ m, i% VLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  - D9 N7 g& D9 L3 m( ~7 h  n
( Z. U3 Y" ]1 D% ~2 z
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? ) Y+ Y6 |( @; v9 y

LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.
* G" J2 i9 U( R( l4 `, W( |# ]% }; d* t6 |4 q1 o- z+ a
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。

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.
3 P. F9 s. ^+ p" @/ FLH: 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。
