over的用法

Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talk; much less do they take them out for dinner, or around on the golf course while they develop a sense of trust and rapport. Rapport to most of us is less important than performance. 

over的用法教材上说是当....时的意思,但我怎么觉得是通过....途径方法的意思?

教材的说法是对的。over 表示 during 之意。

If something happens over a particular period of time or over something such as a meal, it happens during that time or during the meal. 在…期间

They had a chat over their lunch. 他们吃午饭期间聊天。(边吃边聊)

翻译成通过,实际上是经过,经过表示过程,过程表示时间。这样理解就好懂了。
