n.[俚]雜談會；冗長的談話

Three old friends stopped by and we had a real gabfest. 三位老朋友來串門，我們天南海北聊了個痛快。

The event in Toronto this week was not a frontiersman's gathering, however, but the world's biggest mining gabfest. 這些人參加年會的目就是為了來大城市享樂一番，還有在會上向金融家們吹噓他們的礦業(yè)權。

Honoring a tradition of sending a senior official to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, China Vice Premier Li Keqiang will attend the annual gabfest next week. 中國國務院副總理李克強將參加本周的瑞士達沃斯世界經濟論壇，延續(xù)了中國派遣高級官員參加該年度會議的傳統(tǒng)。
