M: It was good to be with my family, but I was disappointed that you couldn't be there.

1 b: W9 n7 s2 V, w: a& U
L: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？

) |5 N8 d" P) f, {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.
% Y! v6 z! ?6 k# v6 K4 _9 y
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。

  H, O  b8 t6 K3 P9 oM: 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？

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.

# k# W4 h# L8 S4 M, i# f9 ~, oL: 嗨，我是在说你，我才不会吃那么多东西呢！

Michael, 是不是每年都有这么多人来中央公园滑冰？

! D0 z3 e1 p+ D3 BM: 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: 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？

& b" F' |  I% H( W6 U' D; KM: No, I'm saying you talk a lot about other people's business!

2 T! g) b: ~/ `/ a; kL: 噢，你不是说我嘴巴大，而是说我多嘴，爱嚼舌头，谈论别人。

+ S2 o5 E( N: A8 O1 a9 XM: 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？

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

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！

* Z) K0 m3 _3 w5 i3 ^M: Just don't be a person who eats like a pig and also is a bigmouth.

# Z& [7 G) j3 jL: 对，这两个缺点都有那就糟了。走吧，该会学校去念书了。
