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。

. o+ ~/ v& a+ [1 _M: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.

3 N# G7 C) `6 J& N* IL: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？

M: Yes, pigs eat a lot and that's where the expression pig out comes from. I did eat like a pig on Thanksgiving.

& r) ~# A6 C/ W4 q; |9 {7 {. LL: 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: Um, I certainly did.

7 c7 G& _2 [( i2 ~: p4 S" G, mL: Pig out这个说法只能指吃东西啊？能不能用在别的地方？

Michael, 是不是每年都有这么多人来中央公园滑冰？

  @" f, k1 Y+ XM: 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: 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: Geez, Li Hua, you have such a bigmouth!

) f1 e2 n$ K. V0 F. xL: 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？
