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.
. M3 {. c8 d( m* U+ M
$ v- P8 w+ J# O! ]- k' u3 fLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
  A3 ?* S3 N4 h! }5 K3 g) ^7 t8 b" a2 o$ [7 o) w
LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
' x& C# ]2 v# y7 `. U8 w9 t: r9 P  b; }3 A
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......$ V0 `. k3 e; o* q1 q% i  q& y
4 T8 Q! C& j9 l6 ~
LL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting! ) Y% w1 |  {. ?- K
# J  c8 r- K4 J. ]% D6 Z1 d
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? & U: V$ S( m. _& `

' @2 Q1 E% H. ~& G5 f; Y  hLL: 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 e9 x& Z  t6 J* i! b! q

* m* X! [* f+ D) e9 QLH: 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?
  g4 Z6 l7 H0 a6 O+ H
4 G" ?4 E+ G1 M  KLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
+ \% d# Q9 _# ]
7 s" I  V' M; `+ A8 ~4 T  mLH: 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 d2 B. K9 c+ H! y1 a
! E- j& p5 Z; s9 C7 z
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. # C/ s+ x8 E: g

: |$ i9 h0 \8 A& G  b# Q. ?, yLH: 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?
  H( b# S6 h/ j5 S1 c& w- n
+ J! D- n+ T$ _! zLL: 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. # t  a2 g$ ^( {. g, T. F% e
1 E$ C4 w) K  R' Y7 l1 }, I
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。
, O& a4 u* m! D* O0 n6 Y0 a7 D# c$ x+ C3 H/ u# k
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. # a8 m7 H  A. i& I& m5 l3 H

; j' q# B8 C/ k2 o# A" ?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? / j$ [: U; s, Q% Q

LL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit.
; e7 L- S: |( n! V
( I$ R$ W: A- w0 f# r, g6 ULH: 那么,要不要带件毛衣呀?  
- {* O5 B" _1 _& k: f$ L4 A

5 L: g# ^5 O/ S2 O: p: LLH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!

2 q: k5 ]5 v3 \% d' o1 {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. 9 ~0 o* v$ u; v+ T( f

: U! t# y9 ^! iLH: 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, v4 _. o1 P/ c7 I+ s" A
; {9 S* f, Z! E+ |  c9 @LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  + v6 K5 O& L: ~9 O1 {% K/ t, ~: C/ V
: _$ Y/ K+ z4 J( I
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?
# V" l# {* M  B, g& q" Z$ ]9 g% T
. Y9 M% Q( `/ [2 R4 R. \LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. $ U. w4 K1 {' E- Y3 d. e* m9 ~

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。
6 L. N8 D7 u) G; p# F7 h2 E0 K0 y7 k0 E, A( T1 D+ H
LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it. ' T& R7 c' J2 ~* K) w  C
2 I7 }6 w* Q8 p& d* f  e
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。 # N  C$ x. u  a
% [# d/ v& M7 G* v. i
LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.
$ p& @! z' c3 N: k4 `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!  # D( i: L. R- ^- r

1 s$ r6 r( _" i" LLL: That's right!
# g/ c; }- J0 q  h( a+ c7 Q1 N$ m; t. a& E. ?2 P
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。
