2 a6 r" b% a# d. l4 z, XLarry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. ) Y$ c; M4 \* R, H# P3 S
& I% M% E  m* ]6 V8 M
LH:Larry,我们要不要叫Dave和Laura跟我们一起去露营呀?, S9 l5 n: F0 Z  A* r- W6 }7 M

, z6 d! Q" c) }, eLL: Well, it's a long shot, Dave and Laura probably already have something planned.
5 e- J5 D7 t8 f5 p, G' B9 Z! P2 ~8 v* x5 o
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......
1 z! u9 }3 D5 y8 c5 K; W: ~. e
0 R( j$ C- E# X) ^4 B9 E& gLL:No, there's nothing to do with shooting!
1 `) e( u# l- k+ M. r8 S
9 M0 S. v, U# vLH: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? & J* j! a8 D) A6 R# z
( Z4 G  ]3 w4 S% l" H& c. }7 u* 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. 2 f8 p' M/ M9 O5 k
  e+ U# D9 ^# X1 f" G* R! O* ?
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 k, G- D# f+ _: p

  r9 e7 X0 D0 F- cLL: That's a long shot, too, because it's probably too late to make the necessary airplane or hotel reservations.
, H, C$ f7 F' ], k: S" b  M5 @; D& B" [9 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?

9 j# H' J/ q) ^; }5 ELL: 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. : T: t/ V. F3 u/ w" z* S
$ _- i0 A, M- O, S" g8 r0 B" Q1 r9 d
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? * ?$ W; ?7 g- v' u) s6 J

7 E8 a4 d8 \  A4 _' TLL: 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. 7 {  m" T, K" u0 l7 I& C
9 a4 p6 o6 K  T6 N: H5 x& p. P( P
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。4 z0 N: h5 S& i% Z; [! }: x3 P: P

% ^* H% k0 w* Y
7 _$ C+ y  j$ |0 lLH: 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$ x+ W9 u7 w

" K! T$ l. K3 A" e* z# _9 iLH: Larry,你准备好了吗?我们该出发了!
7 ]1 z5 j/ H- ~& g( o+ h) {7 I: b
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.
+ L+ {$ S. Z) B' u3 o  W% i2 K2 g4 E! P! v' m; `. {
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?- ?, [; l/ \7 U8 k( C# e) D
! X; s+ Z' C8 _  c" s
LL: Buzz is slang for what people are saying about a particular topic, person, or thing, not necessarily bad.  % s( h$ ?! [: x$ l. C6 G( y. u/ P

: ^2 Q  M+ a1 B9 mLH: 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? # `6 M* M# J) x7 ]8 o5 R. |

LL: Right. I brought that new Tom Cruise movie, too, because I know you've been wanting to see it. 4 L, A$ j& K- s1 @) f7 e3 u

2 F2 Q8 i% m8 p0 n! l! `. F6 ALH: 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。 ; f, B7 F( j- ?. Q, E1 y) d" `

  V; k* n" }: g$ ^LL: I really don't pay any attention to the buzz about celebrities' personal lives. I'm just not interested in it.
3 F/ L: ]% ?+ C$ R& j1 M& |  a8 F; X4 T+ \5 @* ~: x9 P" a7 |
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。

LL: Oh well, all the buzz in the media about their personal lives probably didn't help their marriage that much.   G1 G8 l$ H3 L0 `% t
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!  
% w/ a* u2 Q% }7 s7 ]; d2 ]+ }. u# w0 T6 f0 e- A3 c0 }& @

" [  [: c7 K1 [* z  l- H. k' r2 E7 ?3 ?' h/ z4 @
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。
