2 b  F$ r0 E. 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......  ~9 i# x: h. j. m- b) ?

) {9 a1 p3 j# q/ w4 G) A1 HLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
% f8 a+ `" V8 P* O" E' S' u- m, K' `/ x$ z: 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?   [: X6 |2 H9 Y$ J3 {
: r4 [0 J3 ~% I7 R7 w
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.
; Y! _# X" J! M" p6 P# ], B. f0 F* x! a; p( _" t
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?
+ f7 u8 J( ~! {( @' w3 }  y4 z; q$ q" n/ B
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. 2 M% h' w  z2 \. f# r" J

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? ( {1 K  t) }; x! c  h

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?

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 d6 ^. i3 f. a1 |3 Y
* ~& U' i. r% s/ ]7 lLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  % S* Y/ Z) M$ Q/ i( F) a3 F; P

) R# c1 r; ^8 J2 Y$ zLH: 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? 8 b! A! U1 u7 \6 p# s1 z0 O2 U

8 B' ^/ r, W! d& ILL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.

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。 # m1 w8 K* r# j' E' }

LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
2 [! c3 Y4 R2 D- d' l/ I! Q$ `- l7 K( @9 Q) \
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。

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。
