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. ; m5 ~+ l; O( N+ g4 k6 i# ?

$ I0 F& `' f" {! o2 c- l2 q9 XLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
5 M4 p4 `/ K7 j( D. L# ]+ d% v: k4 p% ^/ d
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
: I% y9 t3 B6 j) Z4 ~+ L
( W8 R0 ~9 Q: l4 E: k6 C  mLH: 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......) C3 Z& Q! Q! z! q

/ j$ E) [. m3 gLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
4 {6 G, [2 A' u" m+ b  [' g9 \! @- y. x6 b  {1 b
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?
! {) m& w- y, o9 X! m. y  u+ k
0 w8 ~8 U- m; _: ~* r1 wLL: 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.
8 O% r2 \6 F6 n7 p0 y8 \$ i/ Z. b) S- \& K8 l; f5 j( \, M, O
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?
' W. w) m$ ^- ]1 Q) }$ i9 h% T8 Q* g& M
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. 8 G  x+ P2 n" S4 s

/ `% O. v& m9 F3 J+ R% hLH: 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? 9 i( ~% s4 z0 W! {( q, n
& z2 n. I- R. |0 h1 \
LL: 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% |& \+ W' \1 Z1 D7 J. t7 ?

. Q& t* e/ M3 ]7 H6 WLH: 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+ `) Y+ w; m) I

$ h. S6 k' \# t$ LLL: 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. ) g" g9 D3 a% h

/ }8 b+ v# A% _# r+ 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。0 @  }$ E( q4 F
# ?4 F* k0 V- O6 p3 a
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. " M+ A# G; ^: N5 p. p4 _

3 ~0 D" |2 O4 O/ P$ J3 nLH: 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? 5 W* T: w/ l5 x+ V8 a! j7 ?. o

; ]$ b3 V- N& G* h! Q7 RLL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit.
4 ~; d5 f/ r2 \3 M) _% U
' o: F& r( r9 b. i, T2 Y* cLH: 那么,要不要带件毛衣呀?  " o4 {+ `+ @+ _# r" L/ {: n

3 ]) M( C' e; I4 vLH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了! 7 d9 l( E. a& T  K

" f/ o0 H. l" ^. O3 P. XLL: 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.
6 b( @, g0 L: k! R+ b- I/ K
0 }& S3 t# B; B2 Y5 Q* FLH: 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?
+ U* {) M  K1 r: H7 {' ?+ g8 n6 ~! {1 f  [. g/ |) k; L" b
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
/ L3 p/ v* b1 T. c" a
' i: O3 y% p  e4 w  _3 l% \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? 2 ^8 p; \- y8 }$ R2 x$ X

. Y1 s$ [& Q! q" p3 ELL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. 5 B. M% @" X3 N8 P! q) A; h
7 K  R8 h2 I& v! E* _, z
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。 * J/ [* W6 k" V2 q

! `. ]; \% d! S# {) r/ gLL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it. 2 ~9 V) O) V1 W9 R4 b2 w
% t& R, H  H% q1 J: v8 g' K
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。 5 k8 ]- S9 E0 `- u
/ }1 `3 _( b$ f9 p+ X& u
LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. ! L* q6 J( v  C, J6 T) Z
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!  / N0 }7 n: F' W4 c9 r  C5 F
8 H  O! W& ~! A3 y+ {1 }
LL: That's right! 7 H+ p5 E: Z0 N: V/ }

+ S8 T0 P, ?& V& Z: K  l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。
