5 d. t0 [2 d6 }/ @/ YM: It was good to be with my family, but I was disappointed that you couldn't be there.

L: 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。

M: 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。

" \, a' q9 D$ D; dM: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.
( z( k" N0 f6 e& u  K; d3 u+ E: w
L: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？

+ }! c7 V3 f  d' M. \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.

M: You will pig out during the Christmas holidays.

L: 嗨，我是在说你，我才不会吃那么多东西呢！

Michael, 是不是每年都有这么多人来中央公园滑冰？

3 J7 E- G4 x& e' z# b0 S* G/ BM: 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...

L: 噢，你不是说我嘴巴大，而是说我多嘴，爱嚼舌头，谈论别人。

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。

. ~/ l$ p# e- g. _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！

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。
