Michael 和李华这两个大学生，一个讲英文，一个讲中文，旁边的人听起来很奇怪，可是他们俩已经习惯了。今天他们来到中央公园，李华会学到两个常用语：pig out 和 bigmouth。

3 i) X, D; w5 T5 K1 P! NM: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.

9 }5 W: F! h. F# A3 P) k! h5 Y* p+ EL: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？

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。
9 b. v; f+ _. ^8 Q+ v% n
M: 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？

6 u" Q/ c1 u$ }M: No, not really. But don't forget that when you use it in the past tense, pig out should be pigged out.
