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。

L: Michael, 感恩节你过得好吗？

M: It was good to be with my family, but I was disappointed that you couldn't be there.
: [6 X8 o% n: N" w! C% p
( j& ]/ ?) l" z/ _! a8 J+ C! IL: 我知道，跟家人在一起总是高兴的事。谢谢你邀请我，但是我早就答应了另一个朋友，所以没法去你家，明年我一定去你家。

, ~6 c+ r" ~8 SM: Ok, well. It was a great meal, we all pigged out.

L: 你们感恩节吃猪肉呀？我还以为感恩节都是吃火鸡呢。

% {1 y+ r& N7 yM: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.

  V! u7 z( Q7 Y4 ^# o# \6 q* oL: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？
5 G- O9 V3 S  b& P. s5 g' S6 H) m
M: Yes, pigs eat a lot and that's where the expression pig out comes from. I did eat like a pig on Thanksgiving.

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: Um, I certainly did.

L: Pig out这个说法只能指吃东西啊？能不能用在别的地方？
9 n4 g6 l! m6 `. d
M: No, not really. But don't forget that when you use it in the past tense, pig out should be pigged out.

' B% m% V! {! r/ v) kL: 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？

# f+ C1 [) r) \1 UM: You will pig out during the Christmas holidays.

: W: o& m( o; S) }L: 嗨，我是在说你，我才不会吃那么多东西呢！

M: Yes, it's free. My friend Josh said he would be coming to ice-skate with his girlfriend Emily today. Oh, By the way, Li Hua, did you tell Simon that Josh and Emily are getting married soon? I just need...
" S! P2 \: }- F/ t2 X' y9 A! F
L: 是，那天我不小心告诉了Simon。我知道Josh和Emily现在还不想公开他们准备结婚的计划，不过我真不是故意的。

M: Geez, Li Hua, you have such a bigmouth!

4 m" D& I7 s* @  LL: 你生气了？肯定是骂我。说我是bigmouth，大嘴巴！你是说我吃很多东西吗？
" ~6 ^* z* h5 O7 y* ?
M: No, I'm saying you talk a lot about other people's business!

L: 噢，你不是说我嘴巴大，而是说我多嘴，爱嚼舌头，谈论别人。
( R" x$ O$ ], B& @0 Y# S
M: That makes you a bigmouth.
1 z) g' I* }' F0 p/ {, l- @6 ^
L: 我们女孩子都喜欢谈论别人。不过，Michael，我从来没在书上看到过这个词，是不是一般在口语里用？

2 K+ _+ o4 R* g1 sM: Yes, it is usually used in informal speech.

L: Michael，我真不应该那么多嘴，把 Josh和Emily准备结婚的事告诉别人。

M: Well, don't worry about it. I tend to pig out and you're a bigmouth. Everyone has their faults.
9 R3 a# F" G/ ^' t$ z3 L# \
L: 哟，你倒是想得开，人人有缺点，你爱象猪那样吃，我爱谈论别人。这样就好象什么事也没了！
2 p9 A& R1 D5 }" k: d& B, `
M: Just don't be a person who eats like a pig and also is a bigmouth.

L: 对，这两个缺点都有那就糟了。走吧，该会学校去念书了。

今天Michael和李华在纽约中央公园，一面看许多人滑冰，一面聊天。李华从Michael 那儿学到了两个常用语，一个是pig out，就是吃很多东西的意思；另一个是bigmouth，就是多嘴的人。
