+ A: V- [( b% {+ sLarry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. 0 D; r' g( u% g

6 I" ~. t" w% k* f$ F6 i; Q2 v7 GLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?+ E# E8 c) L6 x6 n

4 J3 F7 n# V3 |/ X, A$ W. q% HLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. 4 O9 h0 j* K/ G$ Z! o* d
( M- ^  q6 x$ Q) f- l
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......& W/ B5 d. o  ^) w1 B4 Q

7 m% U1 t% j' I0 B/ _) WLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! 8 l# x- @" d, V) B5 ?# E

! D5 c4 v7 n4 T  U' B' Y7 d. G' m* yLH: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?
+ N. b0 y( V: z9 ^: `, X1 X( }+ q+ T$ K% Y3 Z" L; |/ 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. 5 L0 \, ?% A8 [3 X9 u
# K: C" [3 [' K$ g5 P
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?
3 {; g/ B9 R0 F! S  d- |' w/ ^  U& x6 l6 G6 z' i
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
5 f& Y# p$ z1 _1 `/ l
6 |# m4 `! ^/ y, x- w1 oLH: 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? - _0 w4 `. C( G4 a

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. 3 i$ F, _! H" g) D
% }& D# i7 U$ A9 A5 m7 o
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?
8 L6 i$ e% t( ~. w5 Q5 S: a5 m+ _1 M* t1 z8 v% Q
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.

. W8 Z; D8 K3 j4 a$ Q1 XLH: 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。. m6 z  g+ Q! Z5 v5 v# `

9 ~% N+ r, [9 m3 k' ^1 O$ `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. 2 Y% E" r5 H& Q

" l) O  E+ y3 CLH: 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?
/ G# ]; N6 r# w3 p1 g- V9 A0 u6 B, r0 V2 E+ \$ j; c' n! [
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  & d+ s& f( w/ Z2 R# s4 `  a
6 f* Y6 Q+ p+ X) U
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? # m0 M. K" n4 P$ j8 ]8 y
3 Y- R# d- t, L/ S+ t
LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.
( Z$ V( q7 p) l! H! j2 O+ ~* X; r9 O: m" h3 P3 {# Y# v+ N
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。   V2 Z/ o3 z: b" ^! ~. t

) J* B* l4 V1 ]  jLL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
# M5 A# c. s- C+ f2 @+ Q: G
1 b8 T8 X8 O! v6 d& A  n5 M3 ~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。

3 S: v+ ~$ }3 h6 H- ELL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. 4 l2 ]4 y6 ^/ @. u0 P
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!  ! S: x8 K( q; \

: R( Q2 \2 Y- Q# n/ ]: C- C; N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。
