2 ^: P1 X" i8 ?
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。

# o' j: L2 B- dM: Ok, well. It was a great meal, we all pigged out.

5 _* k. g8 B% O) fM: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.

$ D; [; v. a+ k/ q0 C& ML: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？
# _6 e" |: A, i& u; k# k, F
M: Yes, pigs eat a lot and that's where the expression pig out comes from. I did eat like a pig on Thanksgiving.

7 z$ M- b! E- uL: 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。
# }$ i: r" {& s) X4 ^
. T0 c( S3 K& s) m  WM: 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？

$ n& S& Q' X& }0 bM: 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？

% c, z7 l7 m# v/ h4 l, EM: You will pig out during the Christmas holidays.

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...

M: Geez, Li Hua, you have such a bigmouth!

6 P8 L* w. }9 l9 M: S. Y1 I. qL: 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？

  v1 M) H0 ^4 l4 jM: No, I'm saying you talk a lot about other people's business!

3 T, W- K+ y. Z/ `' [- O0 XL: 噢，你不是说我嘴巴大，而是说我多嘴，爱嚼舌头，谈论别人。
+ r) f# ?, I: P, ~$ S
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？

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。

M: Well, don't worry about it. I tend to pig out and you're a bigmouth. Everyone has their faults.

9 L& k, M! ]  C5 q6 T4 J2 u2 AL: 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！

( t- E5 \8 r0 v' S1 @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。
