When someone’s shooting the breeze, he or she is engaging in an idle conversation. shoot的意思是“发射，射击”，breeze的意思是“微风”。shoot the breeze，形容人们尽兴地聊天，滔滔不绝。
Examples:
We were just standing around shooting the breeze. 我们就那么站着，互相闲聊着。
I enjoy shooting the breeze with my dorm mates. Sometimes we even stay up late taking about anything we want to.我很喜欢和我的室友们聊天。有时候我们甚至熬夜夜谈，随心所欲地聊天。 |
