Xbfeng

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.

; t4 f: _  c/ Z" D1 x+ pL: 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。

# ]3 g4 [6 Y. L; [" z6 u: K- lM: 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。

9 Z+ z/ k8 W, b$ R4 z4 M- v6 w) M! eM: 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？

2 P3 g( H7 U- a6 ?M: No, not really. But don't forget that when you use it in the past tense, pig out should be pigged out.

9 L$ Z' g6 S. e9 P2 ]$ e2 rL: 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.

L: 嗨，我是在说你，我才不会吃那么多东西呢！

# S4 a: Z; ]9 ?# |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。
