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。

0 F0 H1 l; p2 }8 \& P  gM: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.

9 u. j" W+ w  r$ ~& G7 T' k; z; _3 ~L: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？

2 q; p' S' A0 F5 T3 u5 ~" L( |% EL: 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。

1 ?+ I5 a& U) y# n& n: ?L: Pig out这个说法只能指吃东西啊？能不能用在别的地方？
5 o) p: l) t+ e/ }3 V
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？

9 b6 ?/ g1 K+ r: d) b6 }+ oM: 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？

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...

7 c* Z* ^1 Y" z8 SL: 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!

$ l1 z4 _; u0 }! CL: 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？

L: 我们女孩子都喜欢谈论别人。不过，Michael，我从来没在书上看到过这个词，是不是一般在口语里用？

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.
