　　我們別再閑聊了, 靜下心來(lái)干些要緊的事吧。

　　e.g. I met him the other day on the street and he gave me his chin music about travel inParis.

　　我在不久前的一天街上碰到他，便閑聊了一會(huì)兒有關(guān)巴黎旅游的情況。

　　e.g. In the evenings he installed himself in the window seat in the kitchen, smoking and givingMary his chin music.

　　第四，語(yǔ)法點(diǎn)撥

　　I’m still in the dark about what exactly is your plane.

　　要點(diǎn)解析：in the dark about something表示不知道某事的意思。此句中about后面跟的是由疑問(wèn)代詞引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句——what exactly is your plane。
