两者都指聊琐事,但“claver”只是方言中的“闲谈”,不强调语速或连续性;“chatter”强调语速快、说个不停,内容零碎,常带轻微贬义,还可指牙齿打颤或鸟雀鸣叫。想突出“说个没完”时用“chatter”。
“claver”只表示闲聊这一行为,不涉及谈话内容;“gossip”特指议论他人的私生活、传播未经证实的消息,通常带贬义,还可作名词指爱传闲话的人。谈的内容是别人家事时只能用“gossip”。
两者都指轻松地交谈,但“chat”是通用中性词,口语书面语皆可;“claver”是苏格兰及英格兰北部的方言词,含义偏“不交换多少信息的闲扯”,正式场合很少使用。表达一般意义的“聊天”时,用“chat”更自然通用。
