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

/ U5 q3 g4 p  z& pL: 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。

( U2 F" E/ \  }2 w6 S" k1 ^+ P6 ]M: Ok, well. It was a great meal, we all pigged out.

/ ]( T6 W7 \) y6 OL: 你们感恩节吃猪肉呀？我还以为感恩节都是吃火鸡呢。
/ f4 A- f, ]/ q' C  R! C" {6 i
9 B) u2 N' _" aM: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.

L: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？
( c; s8 M, a3 U7 z7 V# X3 V" [
M: 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。

. A0 O" }# b# K" Q8 W" n
M: No, not really. But don't forget that when you use it in the past tense, pig out should be pigged out.

% u) K8 N' s6 E5 P1 G0 M8 UL: 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？

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...

5 c/ s9 h% O8 ~# N( E1 K6 gL: 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。

L: 噢，你不是说我嘴巴大，而是说我多嘴，爱嚼舌头，谈论别人。

7 ]: X: d' }; u  X  u0 L
9 E: C9 N) s; Q; E- W6 XL: 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: Michael，我真不应该那么多嘴，把 Josh和Emily准备结婚的事告诉别人。

% @' A* g4 g$ l' X5 dM: Well, don't worry about it. I tend to pig out and you're a bigmouth. Everyone has their faults.

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！

; y, F2 Z3 s5 P( _9 ^% \M: Just don't be a person who eats like a pig and also is a bigmouth.

" D- U" t1 P' g: \3 R: z% o, d8 hL: 对，这两个缺点都有那就糟了。走吧，该会学校去念书了。
