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. ) \6 k# L/ B5 U& r( C, {- q

: p! v2 `) ]8 D4 n3 @& C' h: y7 yLH: 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......

9 |1 Q$ c& s9 @) FLH: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? ( L3 \! _0 x$ v# r
5 P# ]! _4 E6 k3 o" J
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. 9 |/ Y6 a* V# j

0 N' U5 n( f& f7 xLH: 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? 2 P+ q) b4 p+ ]
" H2 d7 `- j; v. Y# r( ~$ ^
LL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
  H( X1 ^  t2 G( w/ B0 k; X: B( p1 C7 r7 ^

2 h+ ?% ~6 ]2 P0 N! E
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  9 P" @8 J; \8 U+ @- H
