& X# i+ h4 i/ b; k' d. @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. 2 H6 T# W% r4 P2 u( ]. w

0 c7 Z+ p$ s2 K1 O' l8 f! KLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?" ^  p. Z% R- U. G

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......4 e" }+ u* |& z3 p, Y$ g/ {, ~

# N4 t) l. b/ h- l; \( zLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! ( O( p8 M4 I5 w0 x: z: x; _

3 b+ W- E+ d; B, u) ?' }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?
8 F  {  I) _- [& P( X: q# I0 t0 w- X! @4 `" B' I+ E' L+ K0 D7 r2 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. ' [  `4 n$ f4 _+ W0 e
) ?# C1 K- B) u6 @3 \/ [' E1 U
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? " ~+ G: K/ i6 R, `! v: n( F

) l0 h& y5 w1 `& |, ~: BLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. : t0 f: S- b6 n9 {) O* W; \  e

: ^2 z! q3 K  f( F6 N9 a5 @' yLH: 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?

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?/ Q8 N- |5 B  ~( R7 y$ y
1 R) N. q, h, d* H3 w, {4 u
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  : \( V3 g9 s& h- v; i& G, {
3 g& m6 ]  P5 Z, T5 H
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?
