L: Michael, 感恩节你过得好吗？
6 k  I$ R6 [5 D& c- H
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。

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。

% B$ B, w& R! |2 T/ ~3 l/ DM: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.

$ r+ U2 \: Q( u7 X: FL: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？

- I- z5 d. E) s* m% V9 Z+ ^% G  CM: Yes, pigs eat a lot and that's where the expression pig out comes from. I did eat like a pig on Thanksgiving.

! h& L5 h, k( N2 w' d0 G8 sL: 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。

$ O! x2 Z' `3 @1 n  ?L: Pig out这个说法只能指吃东西啊？能不能用在别的地方？

8 ~! K; N2 ~3 l( F5 NM: No, not really. But don't forget that when you use it in the past tense, pig out should be pigged out.

6 O  E/ J6 C* r3 SL: 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？

. t! d- w; t1 ?; A# I% {1 OM: 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。

7 R" `: H, M8 F4 x, Q6 QM: Geez, Li Hua, you have such a bigmouth!

* k* k% f$ z+ b$ n  O9 Q$ AL: 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？

4 W% }- I2 U3 V2 D: A% C# tM: 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。

  l4 Z% R: V$ O& H. ]M: That makes you a bigmouth.

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？

6 Y4 i7 w' O6 n+ p. J6 v  o9 xM: Yes, it is usually used in informal speech.

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。

6 f3 G! W# Q7 F: [/ GM: Well, don't worry about it. I tend to pig out and you're a bigmouth. Everyone has their faults.

" L1 [! F/ q& T7 _1 GL: 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。
