「吹水」是什麼意思？
「吹水」主要有三種意思。首先，它可解作閒聊、談天；此意思來自廣東人喜歡跟朋友茶聚聊天的飲茶文化，因經常要把熱茶吹一吹才放入口，「吹水」這動作便繼而發展成為閒聊的意思。另外，這俚語亦可解作吹牛，即喜歡自吹自擂或把事情誇張化，言不副實。最後一種則是空口說白話，對自己的説話不負責任。A. 要表達第一類的「吹水」，我們可用「chat (v./n.)」（閒聊）、「chit-chat (n.)」（閒話）或名詞短語「small talk」（寒暄）來表達。 They had a long chat in the pantry. / They have chatted for a long time in the pantry. (佢哋喺茶水間吹咗好耐水。) I spent the whole afternoon in idle chit-chat with my friends. (我今日同班friend吹咗成個晏晝水。) My mother has made small talk with Mrs. Chan next door for over half an hour. (我阿媽同隔離屋陳太吹咗成半粒鐘水。) B. 我們也可用「pass the time of day」（寒暄）或「shoot the breeze / bull」（閒聊）這些 idioms 表達第一類的「吹水」： A: Hey! What are you up to?
B: Nothing much. We are in Starbucks, shooting the breeze / bull.
(甲：點呀，搞緊咩呀？)
(乙：冇呀，我哋喺 Starbucks 吹緊水囉。) My father stops and passes the time of day with the security guard every morning. (我老豆朝朝都停低同個看更吹水。) C.要表達第二類的「吹水」，即吹牛，我們可以用動詞「brag」（吹噓）或「boast」（自誇）來表達： He always brags about how well he has made money from stock investment! (佢成日喺度吹水話自己買股票賺好多！) I’m not boasting, but I am actually a relative of Lee Ka Shing. (我唔係吹水，李家誠真係我親戚嚟㗎！) D. 我們也可以用「blow one’s own trumpet / horn」（吹自己的喇叭 / 號角）這個 idiom 來表達這類自吹自擂的「吹水」行為： I’m tired of him always blowing his own trumpet / horn about how popular he is among girls! (我真係頂佢唔順，成日喺度吹水話自己幾咁受女仔歡迎！) E. 要表達第三類的「吹水」，我們可用「pay lip service (to something)」（對〔某事物〕說應酬話）或「talk the talk but not walk the walk」（講一套，做一套）這些 idioms： They just pay lip service to environmental issues. (佢哋講咩關注環保吖，得個吹字。) When it comes to volunteering, he talks the talk but never walks the walk. (講到做義工，佢淨係識得吹水，但係永遠都冇做過。) F. 我們也可以用「full of it / full of hot air」（空口講白話）這個兩個 idioms 來表達這類不負責任的「吹水」行為。(註：hot air (n.) - 空話) Shut up! You’re so full of it! (收聲啦！你呢啲正一吹水怪！) You believe in what he said? He is full of hot air! (佢吹水㗎咋！你唔係信佢吓嘛？)
