3 O+ {2 _% O5 [4 rLarry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. # O; [0 L6 c0 p  L6 o

5 s& Q9 `5 J- U" t9 F: vLH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?
" i" ]  |! a3 q: i- B. [
% q1 T" e, |1 z0 E3 zLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. 7 R; ~$ ?  i7 g8 e: v! Q/ e+ [

) R& S" ?, h5 h$ k0 {0 TLH: 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......
1 y, k6 Y3 |: M2 x0 n
( T4 I" }( v  ^, @; z$ ~* B+ ELL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
! C/ u3 h' w1 S6 \$ u. M* ^7 n
& i! C& o3 @4 `0 y* l2 \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? - R4 [6 A8 s  ~6 j* O

3 ?* v& R+ h8 v  a* gLL: 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.
: K* h9 Z; D: O5 J! B* S: D! l- T* _) D1 v
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?
6 `! Q7 E* V$ @, c0 R5 [* `0 o: H; y: j- |. k7 W
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
7 x7 J. G5 y* v, J( f0 ?' ?+ k/ ^8 ]3 r  e' }
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? , H5 h% x1 i. h& K& v7 |
! u/ K/ ]% c4 e! `
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.
( q7 M1 Y+ }! _/ D: y7 [5 y& `6 ^/ o: ]4 P9 Q
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? 7 R" W" U1 O$ u1 }' ^" G

& Z8 c( r  F$ f- S5 W- Z& O* CLL: 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. # N, L& `" f. \1 X/ u0 l

2 M3 C( o) R8 C/ j3 `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。

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.
2 ~6 _) E) f* q% ?0 W
' |( r% H8 S% VLH: 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? 1 K: S4 Y% t- ?1 {, G/ D5 ]' f* H

LL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit.
# |3 `- I% f1 ]! `" o5 Y. s0 H* b. L

( \& \& I) P3 c" D8 c# F7 {LL:You could, but it's a long shot that you'll need it.
6 J6 P3 g; D& e+ F& j% p

LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了! - i# ?2 ^$ u; H+ V" d& y

0 Q! ?" @$ `- n7 l; I5 Z( E* aLL: 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. # q- D% d( \$ q( ~
5 S0 T, Y( `( a, G4 w$ 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?' ]2 |- g9 h5 W+ C$ d
5 C! i/ V) N4 r; l% L
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  $ `# ^' g! g" B0 l1 R

* b0 U: j. F7 C. K2 `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?
1 O- [' S+ {5 D7 O  i6 X) n" @5 D2 e2 D/ }+ `3 f7 f
LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. $ k4 @) {/ p: G; c' Y  |) L

& d; Z! R8 Q1 v( r: ?& ELH: 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。 2 |* r8 Z% n- @$ q6 B+ W

8 O, D# z: [% Y7 DLL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it. 9 D6 A8 U' Q. C" h* w1 ]

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。 6 K: Z* }( ?8 }7 w
' h! x# q+ ^3 n* \/ P( Y: T  D+ D* L
LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much. 4 ]/ E0 c& [' u
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!  , z3 C) Y8 u2 q4 t

- ]  r. k1 D* m* b7 F* M
' P& c5 g4 N' U* l! u0 c; 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。
