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.
& m- D+ i  @6 \) R  t3 d/ J3 p6 j% }& \
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
. a1 z, J% G9 I) d9 ]4 \* t  a1 m5 d' v* C
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. , D1 [1 A& U5 f5 k' y, e
. v8 W. h- a6 j; p" e4 ~0 e2 ]( |! H
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......4 B* W# T! ~) J+ Y

; f8 w5 g- h) P( ZLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! 3 A* o4 A9 L5 d! S; \
; G8 x$ U& Z0 A# 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?
; z, C* I- d7 m9 _0 Y. L9 L  @8 |9 i& ?; e- P( n, `+ v5 U
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.
/ \. [( S4 w- t- b3 j1 ^# T  x$ ~# W4 w* A+ W
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 l7 t  S3 m/ U! K
5 o5 T8 K, Q  l! o; I1 D3 G! ]
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
+ B, @; J! c9 {+ J# {# s% f( I3 @  u" j; A- v
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?
8 z5 M, f- _* L2 P) x1 q. R7 s0 o' h( J. x) |/ X
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 K0 @5 u; g3 R8 d# p  R) ?. I! B' U7 f2 ~  y/ E
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? 9 E4 P% P; T9 ]* K7 y6 x

9 E/ }, [- K# J* vLL: 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 z( s9 I9 R2 S- D4 _2 t1 f" ?! C1 e/ N7 x( _6 I! e; e# \
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。% L2 l2 I9 Z: b- ~- y" Q/ W8 s) ]0 T

; |6 h& E; v$ ]% x( KLL: It's a long shot that my sister will come home to spend the vacation. She said she's going to Europe this summer. + a, g( N  X3 y. F! ]( p0 e2 p
* B. D8 J# G( J7 j( k
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?
! m7 j+ v' m* I! i* O
# \- M8 D5 O5 j; P. ELL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit. 7 i( g) T1 Y6 A( `* j# K! f

LH: 那么,要不要带件毛衣呀?

/ k3 P, Z3 A& G6 _1 b0 pLL: 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.
  n6 p- [( S0 _7 c$ u; n8 G% z9 T2 _- B6 v* v
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?
& I+ D0 s" j1 v
: \7 N$ \2 H% y6 ~7 CLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  # h- s6 U7 l5 A4 G* T" i$ k

, ~1 z0 r3 D. ^( S. FLH: 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 S/ K! f; y& A' c

3 V$ [* s6 Q4 Q# B" HLL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. * a! d; F  T7 `, ]  l9 k

LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
9 b- j9 R. W  O: k1 i# r6 v4 d; n8 F4 c' g5 f8 t
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。
" \# y# u4 M- n; N! P
5 u7 q  P! |' L3 J' j* pLL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. . A. L! I6 |. I( B/ A
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!
