Xbfeng

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.

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.
0 A. Q% N; b  e
L: 你们感恩节吃猪肉呀？我还以为感恩节都是吃火鸡呢。

M: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.
% j% Z& o4 @+ `& x& g) B
L: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？

M: Yes, pigs eat a lot and that's where the expression pig out comes from. I did eat like a pig on Thanksgiving.
2 B) @& J2 K0 [2 X' D  q
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。

0 K7 W  J, `0 x: fM: No, not really. But don't forget that when you use it in the past tense, pig out should be pigged out.

7 s! a/ D1 ^2 w' n& OL: 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？
9 I' z7 q" G' t* i3 y$ E
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...

L: 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。

( b5 \8 X! N/ `, B) O& O
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？

4 O# ], y/ A6 E7 A8 T5 A# }+ UM: 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。

M: Well, don't worry about it. I tend to pig out and you're a bigmouth. Everyone has their faults.
1 d- }' @! U; ~2 J% g) A# h
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！

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

9 I! n% M2 ?- SL: 对，这两个缺点都有那就糟了。走吧，该会学校去念书了。
