2 L9 B3 S; y' y+ hM: Yes, pigs eat a lot and that's where the expression pig out comes from. I did eat like a pig on Thanksgiving.
; S) @& E3 d, T; }* c* r
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。

' V: ~- p3 e9 p, f) b" `
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。

8 V3 I5 F- w* W* XM: Geez, Li Hua, you have such a bigmouth!

3 v/ C% g* D3 I  U; ~) v  gL: 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？

M: Well, don't worry about it. I tend to pig out and you're a bigmouth. Everyone has their faults.

& }1 z4 L' U" b2 E; V& G3 N; a' `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！
