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.

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。

L: 你们感恩节吃猪肉呀？我还以为感恩节都是吃火鸡呢。

( w. q! e9 M) w( ]0 x) PL: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？

( c6 m8 b8 d! v5 g& o* _- \9 {! _M: Yes, pigs eat a lot and that's where the expression pig out comes from. I did eat like a pig on Thanksgiving.
* `" B' X$ S+ O: _
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。

L: Pig out这个说法只能指吃东西啊？能不能用在别的地方？

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.

Michael, 是不是每年都有这么多人来中央公园滑冰？

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: No, I'm saying you talk a lot about other people's business!

M: Yes, it is usually used in informal speech.

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

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！
