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. / p$ e  c& O# C: |8 B, A
1 K  q& O0 v$ Y' X1 a6 Q4 I& C, O5 H
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?# _# T  S- d! l  E! ~" ~

! \5 @" S1 `3 ~& v% [9 nLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
+ R0 A: J) g) [8 X  O) _/ B6 F
( \& p& H  ]' o5 a2 U! Y: ^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......+ T. B+ f7 d- O' j
" G9 V9 O6 G8 e' \" |9 H, }. \
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
3 m  R& @0 p4 R* F( |- \/ z  G! M; C8 s3 N9 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?
0 e1 V. X  t/ K7 T7 P9 B% n' }; Z* S6 T+ D
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.
1 m/ z/ e" L% _& z3 H9 @
% F1 [5 M( G! u! sLH: 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 ?- d% z/ ?9 d' \0 A" T% |# s
5 T! W' \$ V- T9 [$ bLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
. [* L; B1 R9 T8 H9 |4 \3 k2 D0 x2 @- ?: w* ^
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?
! A; O; }4 d: v" |( ?1 c' P0 Y
* F8 Z6 D2 c9 z6 Q2 k2 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. , O  N0 m" n- L) D
# \5 p9 C- x& x, v5 M
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?
6 X5 N( z% c, @: c) O6 F+ T% B' q1 |& z& {0 O* K; F& j
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.
; b* T" L. C9 I: s# k2 i3 F3 ~5 y/ y! T3 M
LH: 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。4 s- s0 ?* D7 C6 _/ I

$ _$ q1 [9 y, k# K+ aLL: It's a long shot that my sister will come home to spend the vacation. She said she's going to Europe this summer. 8 ^7 B! |; v" M/ O2 Q: C! r
5 q- N8 R1 U, X  t" M7 ~% S8 t
LH: 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?

LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了! - B  S+ F$ j/ D# c3 f+ @/ w
' f" I: d6 O3 ~0 y, |; K. K
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. 6 \& T8 V7 s# Q4 x$ a. H9 ^
; M* k- y  A) {1 Y1 u* f" p
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?7 q; S$ F, {- R7 f  j

; `, k9 Y7 w6 |2 f5 K; S) |. ]" g6 uLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
/ u% r% `2 A. ~" `4 m" i9 b/ {7 G0 [1 F2 {+ t
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?
  A" Y1 c' ~  B- q1 @! I( j1 q4 n0 J( z0 Y
LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.
$ s6 K: B3 f' q$ b: X
5 H( f) t" I' ~& b0 u( G+ 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。
6 a+ D: K% n1 ]/ P0 Z, Q0 g, w" W# E+ ~) R& _1 ]. S
LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
  K- x3 E$ W8 f  @- Y+ r; A6 J
, c0 q7 n7 |: A! E& v5 o' ^9 cLH: 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 M& `/ w9 h' Y. F# A
6 }6 @! I1 l8 `$ P* b
LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. . |' P1 m0 v8 X, D0 x+ U
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!  ! x; N9 H; F/ `+ J/ i
6 Y4 i1 _$ X5 n6 g% d" ~9 U
LL: That's right! & t  l! h+ |0 w

" a: w: o' r" F; x5 T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。
