Larry告訴李華他連續(xù)幾天給他哥哥打電話，可是總也找不到他。

LH: Larry， 你那么急著找你哥哥，有要緊的事嗎?

LL: No, not really. I just want to chit chat.

LH: Chit chat是什么意思啊?

LL: To Chit Chat is to talk about general things that aren’t very important. I don’t really have anything specific or urgent to talk about.

LH: Chit Chat就是閑聊。那你和你哥哥平時都閑聊些什么呢?

LL: We chit chat about what is going on at work, what we’ve been doing for fun lately, and even about the weather.

LH: 嗯，聊工作，生活和天氣，看來你們哥倆的關(guān)系很不錯嘛。 我也喜歡和家人聊天，特別是和我媽媽。

LL: Chit chatting can be pleasant, but some times it can be annoying.

LH: 是啊，有時候聊天不僅沒有樂趣反而令人煩惱，就好像昨天我正忙著寫論文，我的朋友 Rachel 打電話來和我聊天。

LL: So, did you tell her you didn’t have time to chit chat?

LH: 一開始我沒好意思告訴他我很忙。 然后聊了一會兒以后我對她說我在忙著寫論文呢。

LL: I know Rachel. She really likes to chit chat. Did she get off the phone right away, when you told her you need to work?

LH: Rachel的確很喜歡聊天。我說我要趕快寫論文，她還是不掛電話。真拿她沒辦法。

LL: Well, I have to say, Li Hua, I don’t mind chit chatting with you.

LH: 你也喜歡和我聊天?其實(shí)我也喜歡和朋友聊天。像現(xiàn)在這樣，邊喝茶邊聊，很放松也很有意思。 當(dāng)然要作功課的時候就不能chit chat了。

LL: That’s right! I think it’s time for you to work on your paper, and I need to try to call my brother again.
