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.
8 w* x% F: l8 G) c  z. |) h! E
8 C: `; A  P$ E3 z' ?! e% s/ ]LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?& v" k1 R8 K- B. B/ \1 ~/ @9 F

7 P5 y( ^2 Z; F2 q- T7 nLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. 9 B2 }# q! i3 i3 X
8 z/ m4 d* T- s6 m
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......2 v/ V2 y! r/ P. [: A: s

; h4 L& |& u1 VLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
) x. r: }1 J' G; `/ P. U. x" N. N+ t: n7 m) s
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?
% x$ M7 ^& x( |3 Q: z6 l0 W# t* n; Q: I' }' \3 ^3 z& g
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. * {- P, b( M" d

: a% Z1 P: e  Q4 I2 [. ]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? + V9 z3 q  A8 g5 b2 @3 W# D+ H! h

$ V/ I9 v0 I$ O! wLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations. . c' h+ v: a, V

; m  S. v! y/ O. [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?
- M6 }9 Q/ V% i2 ~# A) A! ~
2 ~7 G$ e, `  c" h' ZLL: 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. 4 @! d$ J' L9 R7 I  G% B6 }

( N- ^6 Y+ Y  A  gLH: 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? : h7 \3 O  u. y' H+ l

2 W  }8 l& n) K. I7 jLL: 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.
: s' ^! N( Z( y, B9 d
) F: \4 r* K7 o) [: cLH: 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。
# j3 V* S* o: B+ a) \3 m( R" ~& ]% B$ l
LL: It's a long shot that my sister will come home to spend the vacation. She said she's going to Europe this summer.
6 w5 W0 p' ^! P% k% [! y4 _0 G3 B$ m' _/ [2 N4 u8 Y1 r
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? 0 V$ L2 u- J, Z" S- t% Z

  k: S" L+ Z- \6 BLL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit. & d! D5 y' D8 `( l2 K# |$ h# l

LH: 那么,要不要带件毛衣呀?  % k. z" L6 x8 w1 p$ r0 q5 v' m( ~

- s# ?0 ]+ T& F3 eLL:You could, but it's a long shot that you'll need it.
: Z0 x+ z# A& ^( l! t& n% j! G" H
6 G6 v  c' v, S- _- M" Y******
) u' F1 y8 s+ iLH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了! ; r6 {5 ?3 L( o7 C$ q* b

: h0 G! W# f2 E2 ]" p/ s8 ]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. / P" b* u! c/ d$ K! [
1 M' b! n# L% ?
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?% ~3 ^# z/ J) D

8 A3 Q' }: \2 [- M, R" ?2 tLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  
. W/ c. h' f3 n: U. Y! }+ G9 ^6 M# a' t
& {5 Z& M( R# y0 D. tLH: 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 I, B. B) E1 g

3 }) H3 S7 x+ ^% J4 T* t5 [: TLL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.
& N( ~3 Q; n9 m+ e
& b+ y0 a/ M0 \+ m$ K  q; j' h! U  L0 @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。
  J( \, a3 f* [8 ~2 w  k2 x- T- }8 e2 b  Q4 J
LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it. : n6 ~1 c% {! L+ H4 n5 ~
5 U% B# g$ E5 L* N$ H
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。
/ a- Z% C. [1 C6 |
! w8 S: |: }, @$ e9 v& M2 LLL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.
" Q; J' `( x' s+ k; i# d* XLH: 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!  
3 Z- [' O) B9 W: p$ n0 _% W" G/ W3 B- p  |) R. v/ U2 }
LL: That's right!
& S& \& r, x+ p
9 }, B5 {6 V! U$ y4 ]+ z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。
