chin-wag

易错句子We had a chin-wag each other about the film.

正确表达We had a chin-wag with each other about the film.

表示“和某人闲聊”时，have a chin-wag 后面要接介词 with 引出谈话对象；each other 不能直接跟在名词短语后代替 with each other，汉语的“互相”不对应英语的介词省略。

易错句子Let's have chin-wag over coffee.

正确表达Let's have a chin-wag over coffee.

have a chin-wag 是固定搭配，chin-wag 作单数可数名词表示“一次闲聊”时需要不定冠词 a；汉语没有冠词，容易漏掉。
