Xbfeng

Michael 和李华这两个大学生，一个讲英文，一个讲中文，旁边的人听起来很奇怪，可是他们俩已经习惯了。今天他们来到中央公园，李华会学到两个常用语：pig out 和 bigmouth。

" H8 g+ G2 ]3 K5 ]( @M: It was good to be with my family, but I was disappointed that you couldn't be there.

L: 你们感恩节吃猪肉呀？我还以为感恩节都是吃火鸡呢。

' u: S- Q  i6 Z/ Q8 h  QM: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.

( ^8 _8 l- D0 r  ]  g: T7 u9 m1 mL: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？

L: 我猜也是， pig out肯定是因为猪吃好多东西而形成的常用语。 Michael，我看你呀，不仅是感恩节，你平时就吃好多。上星期，你每天晚上都吃得象头猪一样。

M: No, not really. But don't forget that when you use it in the past tense, pig out should be pigged out.

L: 那是过去时态，要是说你到了圣诞节假日又要大吃大喝了，那该怎么说？

M: You will pig out during the Christmas holidays.
