Chew the fat: 唠嗑
<p><span word="Chew">Chew</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="fat">fat</span>: 唠嗑</p><p>咱们北方话把“闲聊”称作“唠嗑”，<span word="chew">chew</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="fat">fat</span>是个俗语，和“唠嗑”的意思很相近。不过，也有人对此产生异议：<span word="chew">chew</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="fat">fat</span>明明是“细嚼肥肉”，似乎和“聊天、唠嗑”八杆子打不着！呵呵，寻答案还得细查辞源。 <span word="Fat">Fat</span>在短语中指“咸腌肉”，所以，谈到“<span word="chew">chew</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="fat">fat</span>”往往会让人想到这样一幅画面：几个朋友，几瓶啤酒，几个家常小菜（牛肉干，豆腐干，烟熏肉），于是乎，大家伙酒劲儿足，话头儿兴，喝酒、吃菜、谈天说地几不误……而从辞源上讲，短语“<span word="chew">chew</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="fat">fat</span>”确实由此而来。所以，若邀朋友到家中唠嗑您可这么说：“<span word="Hey">Hey</span>, <span word="John">John</span>, <span word="why">why</span> <span word="not">not</span> <span word="come">come</span> <span word="over">over</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="chew">chew</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="fat">fat</span>？” 另外，<span word="chew">chew</span>（咀嚼）在英语中常用来比喻“沉思，抱怨，闲谈”等一些行为，如短语<span word="chew">chew</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="cud">cud</span>（深思）；<span word="chew">chew</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="rag">rag</span>（聊天，争论，发牢骚）。</p>
