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.
3 ]4 @/ d# u0 B1 c4 l* H2 E' b' _( q# d7 ^2 {
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?/ O2 q! P  i8 [: W

9 W9 u1 |! c! ]& s$ T) ~LL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned. 9 w' h  a! [) B1 I

# X. N9 r- S- ^# I' l& i. _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......
# N4 x8 T7 X+ f! A- G5 A/ a
0 G1 B6 k8 K7 V+ {( Q5 BLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
( n& l1 w1 J: u' g6 P, ]  y
7 o+ K( P# W$ i" p( F* hLH: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? : e$ M( d3 M7 M  t. |# s6 g
# O9 D' K; H5 [: S3 Z; 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.
0 a: H9 z5 @/ Y9 F
8 g1 n1 b- s1 t- NLH: 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 V4 w# k, }  m/ w/ l8 D. t# ?/ f# g3 w- \6 g5 D5 z8 t: ^
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
8 |/ x4 F3 q$ y' ]2 X* r* U* i% k: J7 o" U0 f& w. M
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?
7 c% U5 l7 j4 _1 q
2 R# N! i; y& |$ h  S! @8 }3 kLL: 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. 9 U% H4 U8 L5 Q9 T9 M$ \
5 |' O: o3 _/ c! M: ~5 m
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?
  X/ C% l$ N; u) _) E
0 |2 K* i& a! L9 J1 u, rLL: 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. 2 i; c0 N- i% s5 y6 y1 O1 k
: S" Q; }- M+ B5 O% w  Z
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。# K4 j; S+ u5 O- k0 \- c% Q5 n. B, B3 I

: [- t9 {; f  m' r" C2 \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.
: w) H/ d8 l" w/ q
* Z% M! ~/ P2 x9 {( O# P! l+ ^* }6 ULH: 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? % z( M& {5 a* Y$ t+ x' Y

& m9 f* q6 z5 @% J; E2 `1 V3 }1 vLL: You should definitely bring a bathing suit.
$ |0 G; Y/ k# h$ v0 V" o+ s+ ^; h- X: I* ]+ H/ Z! R
LH: 那么,要不要带件毛衣呀?  
1 a, x$ l  `' e+ k9 }
3 f6 j/ m/ U, H) ~+ u, vLL:You could, but it's a long shot that you'll need it. % ]! i4 o2 a6 @+ T3 z

LH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!
8 P7 @3 m) g% b# x: f
5 O2 h* L; k& _1 b7 c1 i" S$ L+ ELL: 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. " y  D( J, f1 `  e: h, c' o" \* d, j
3 w9 u9 Y- C" p$ O, g! t' h2 \% [
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?
: f, u$ z3 ~0 ]5 X, \
7 {7 h6 |4 ?' z1 x8 T, ZLL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  ! o- ^4 I; F& q5 N
  n4 o. Y7 n, C, ?
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 S) |# H3 L2 a* e: V

% W1 }" Z6 ]; w) v$ ULL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it.
' w: F: n( Q2 C3 C( Z* @& Y& e  `- O
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。
& P* H! P/ P2 g* T- a: H
6 i& E6 B; H& `! S8 z9 ]; x9 d4 GLL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
. _& T. v, ~) ?0 W3 ^6 M" }$ Z- L4 C3 W: B, D# K3 b* e) b
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。
/ t! D" O9 e- r# ^; q2 g& K
/ _; I3 W- z! M3 S& f0 _LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.
1 I% q8 M: {( @. M0 R$ V. oLH: 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!  ) G$ J# Z6 s, t5 |" T

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。
