' K( T6 J" _3 ]% J* k  t; uL: 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.

9 a0 _2 L7 P. l8 q$ d! AL: 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.

L: Pig out这个说法只能指吃东西啊？能不能用在别的地方？

M: No, not really. But don't forget that when you use it in the past tense, pig out should be pigged out.

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.

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！
