  K5 `& ]6 p# L$ o5 XM: 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。

* Z$ h* w( i& v0 w' {M: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.

2 I. O0 O5 W/ y0 c" E, N9 `2 Q' XL: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？

7 {- H1 A, a6 e6 Y3 x. ^- J& ?7 SM: 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。

& J1 q) H& B( s) M; oL: 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: 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！
