1 “monkey around”是什么意思？
monkey作名詞是猴子的意思，但在這個(gè)口語(yǔ)表達(dá)中作動(dòng)詞用，說(shuō)到猴子，給我們的印象就是上躥下跳，一刻都停不下來(lái)。
所以，monkey around就有“到處閑逛，無(wú)所事事”的意思，而在具體語(yǔ)境中，還可以表達(dá)“胡鬧”的意思。
It is dangerous to monkey around in the workshop.
在車(chē)間里胡鬧是危險(xiǎn)的。
They just stare back at the crowds of people who turn out to watch them. Then they continue to monkey around and have a good time.
他們只是回過(guò)頭來(lái)瞪著跑出來(lái)看的人群，然后繼續(xù)胡鬧，玩得不亦樂(lè)乎。
