L: 你们感恩节吃猪肉呀？我还以为感恩节都是吃火鸡呢。

M: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.

. r* d" S& S+ [9 W) ^6 f2 fL: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？

) Q9 ~# B% _* X3 YM: Yes, pigs eat a lot and that's where the expression pig out comes from. I did eat like a pig on Thanksgiving.

1 i: h2 P/ O* F3 D% l; kL: 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。

Michael, 是不是每年都有这么多人来中央公园滑冰？

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...

  a; j9 g' e* l6 T8 `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。
