他是个爱问长问短的人。

He is a rubberneck.

中国人遇到商业伙伴拜访时，他们非常热情好客，喜欢问长问短。

Chinese people meet, their business partner visit is very hospitable, like the inquisition.

我知道，现在工作很不好找，虽然我不想变成可怕的“直升机父母”，整天形影不离、喋喋不休地问长问短。但我觉得，他也许需要我的帮助。

I know the job market is still pretty weak, and although I hate to think of myself as the dreaded "helicopter parent" always hovering nearby, I still think he could use some help.
