前两天下班和一个好久不见的外国朋友吃饭,席间她和我说:We haven't seen each other for a long time, I'd love to chew the fat with you tonight. 听到这句话我真的是震惊了!我们好久不见,为什么要跟我chew the fat?!吃肥肉?心想:你明知道我最近在减肥,为什么要我大半夜的陪你一起吃肥肉!?
之后我才明白,原来chew the fat真的不是吃肥肉!而是“聊天,闲谈”的意思,比如你想约一个朋友出来聊聊天,就可以说,Why don't we have a coffee and chew the fat for a while?不如我们出来喝喝咖啡聊聊天?那么说到这里,“聊天,闲聊”还可以如何表达呢?
