For the old lady buying the daily newspaper soon became an end in itself, since she really just wanted to chat with the shopkeeper. 那老太太每天去买报纸,不多时便觉乐在其中,因为她主要是想和店主聊天。
I had a long chat with her (about her job). (关於她的工作)我和她聊了很久。
It is pleasant to chat with friends, and with no chat is it more pleasant than with close friends. 和朋友聊天是愉快的,而这种情形没有比和知己的朋友聊天更为愉快。
