% F0 _! k1 W5 `7 mM: 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。

8 w" e) `! |/ _- v5 l8 MM: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.

4 ^7 ^  H2 `, q6 `) [3 O  K7 yL: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？
# n. j& M) A3 s7 l
M: Yes, pigs eat a lot and that's where the expression pig out comes from. I did eat like a pig on Thanksgiving.
1 C- p& v& c* F2 T+ ~7 i4 A
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.

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

( k3 D' ~* e& N0 A  g  m) e1 aL: 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？

M: 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！

L: 噢，你不是说我嘴巴大，而是说我多嘴，爱嚼舌头，谈论别人。

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？

1 u4 u9 ]8 j  A$ R+ EM: Yes, it is usually used in informal speech.

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！

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