to monkey around
Definition: To handle something very casually; to do something without a real purpose; to play around.
這個(gè)慣用語十分形象，字面上看就是像猴一樣四處竄來竄去，所以它就表示閑逛、閑混，不認(rèn)真做事，或者是玩耍。例句如I wish that he would be more serious. He wants to just monkey around.這個(gè)用語有點(diǎn)像hang around，它也有閑逛、拖延的意思，只是更側(cè)重于在附近逛來逛去及其引申的意思，比如我們可以說Stop hanging around at the doorway. Come in or get out if you want!也可以說 I've been hanging around in the chatroom for a whole day.
Example
Jack: Mom, what does this thing do? 媽媽，這是做什么的？
Mom: I told you before, stop monkeying around. Here's our stop. Let's go. 我已給你講過了。別瞎胡鬧了，我們到站了，下車。
