應(yīng)美國(guó)總統(tǒng)布什的邀請(qǐng)，國(guó)家主席胡錦濤18日抵達(dá)美國(guó)華盛頓州西雅圖市，開始對(duì)美國(guó)進(jìn)行為期4天的國(guó)事訪問(wèn)。為迎接胡錦濤主席的來(lái)訪，美國(guó)媒體掀起了一陣“胡錦濤熱”，在主席出席的各項(xiàng)官方活動(dòng)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)，到處可看到記者、工商界人士和華人華僑忙碌的身影。
請(qǐng)看《中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)》的相關(guān)報(bào)道：President Hu Jintao's arrival in Seattle, the first visit by the head of state of a major country in recent years, is generating a lot ofbuzzamong the media, businesses and the Chinese community. More than 340 journalists from different media organizations worldwide have applied for press passes to cover Hu's visit.
報(bào)道中的buzz可解釋為“忙碌”，其英文釋義是：to move quickly and busily; bustle，舉兩個(gè)例子：Everyone is buzzing about.（人們都來(lái)去匆匆。）
The bus was buzzing along.（客車向前急行。）
Buzz原指“蜜蜂的嗡嗡聲；電話鈴聲”，可延伸為人群“嘁嘁喳喳、交頭接耳”或“給某人電話”，如：
The crowd buzzed with excitement.（群眾很興奮，嘁嘁喳喳交頭接耳。）
I' ll buzz you at work.（我上班時(shí)會(huì)給你打電話。）
另外，buzz在俚語(yǔ)中還有一層含意：a state of pleasant intoxication or stimulation, as from alcohol or caffeine（由酒精或咖啡因而引起的興奮或飄飄然），如：At his 74th birthday party, continuous toasts gave the old man a buzz.（在他74歲生日宴會(huì)上，人們頻繁的敬酒讓老人興奮不已。）
最后，再提個(gè)詞組：buzz off指“匆匆離開”。
