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。

L: Michael, 感恩节你过得好吗？

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

5 x$ J3 u# K, ]" e$ ^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。

8 P$ J% \1 }, i2 ~5 U, x0 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。

M: Um, I certainly did.
4 E! m( y4 w! n: `- f
L: Pig out这个说法只能指吃东西啊？能不能用在别的地方？
" M8 C5 d) P! a9 k
  y' ~: F, ]3 m& D+ F, UM: 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？
" o9 p! C6 s, a1 }' j! c
- F9 Q4 A/ D  E8 pM: You will pig out during the Christmas holidays.

L: 嗨，我是在说你，我才不会吃那么多东西呢！

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.

& m8 t8 l3 S, D7 m: E% PL: 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！

M: Just don't be a person who eats like a pig and also is a bigmouth.
