- N3 V: w, ?2 `
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
5 h& z$ P- ~6 c) d( s
3 V; N+ m9 F9 A. xLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
0 |" V0 I  f6 a! [# _; Y0 i: O! J' s
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......9 G" I* @7 [( n' S5 w
- t$ s2 X3 C: H: K: L4 b
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!   U6 U& d: P/ S

2 k* ]# T4 P. V: E6 O) w8 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?
3 M# j* M, e, V% q0 P
3 R$ [0 {  f- D4 h, c% zLL: 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.
" f( m; j; R0 s1 V- @
7 P8 f, q* ~' P$ ~% GLH: 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? , ?. S9 V5 }* x2 Z; x- ~1 K

' Y# j0 l9 z+ A+ B$ CLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
' Y$ b+ D8 |( k8 _( b: Y' o9 W* t9 C2 ^, n
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?
  R3 T# E, v/ F& e, X( I. G
5 f& K/ u* j: f9 TLL: 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 B7 \6 v2 B* k

& E. f5 \$ {6 l* o9 P( W/ n( G3 ]9 v) I8 w8 v8 M6 R
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.
6 |: o! r) a( z6 p5 }: `- y- H: t  v" G
/ p2 j  W" P8 L+ rLH: 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。. v! W" G8 ~5 ]

LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!

: j( _( U* P4 L0 \: T$ F* N! eLL: 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.
8 Q9 A. t7 j* i! ]! O5 T9 q+ d* v7 i. t# e  d
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?
  z; A% K2 K$ C6 u
! y' P& J, a, U3 C3 t$ J" k% ]* SLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  9 |5 {$ U3 K4 j, @
  A' i6 K9 `) S' v
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? & D" ^: |: \1 h" p  h' Q  O0 x) K

LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. 0 G- i! S% ?, R% l6 N, x

LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it. ! F4 e9 f! C- M; x! n
4 a: j: l, N2 }% X2 m3 N
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。
# F, Y' b: s8 H. d# L
5 V& e7 d4 d7 d. \  {) l% m$ b; O2 t3 LLL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.
2 N  |$ T0 h- r' LLH: 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!  " ]4 {0 J- N* }* k- b. {

9 Q4 ~$ V: N+ P* H3 ELL: That's right!
