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。

4 W! T9 C5 v3 t. MM: Ok, well. It was a great meal, we all pigged out.

L: 你们感恩节吃猪肉呀？我还以为感恩节都是吃火鸡呢。
" Q! Z! H1 N' F! B* F" Y
M: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.

6 p# |. {& \3 E0 L! Q) e+ e
M: Yes, pigs eat a lot and that's where the expression pig out comes from. I did eat like a pig on Thanksgiving.

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。
2 b& K% F* r/ V4 t  p; h. M, j" ^
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？

5 v0 ]1 O7 b& X) E% J% e6 `M: No, not really. But don't forget that when you use it in the past tense, pig out should be pigged out.

, A% i* l: s0 ]# mL: 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: 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...

: Q) W* `6 D# M* k8 rL: 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。

M: Geez, Li Hua, you have such a bigmouth!

% V; Y9 e. K! G  f0 TL: 你生气了？肯定是骂我。说我是bigmouth，大嘴巴！你是说我吃很多东西吗？

% V  W7 L5 q; q( m
L: 噢，你不是说我嘴巴大，而是说我多嘴，爱嚼舌头，谈论别人。

2 p2 E) f: X: GM: 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？

- l1 z* k  Q4 W( }% r0 v" I8 ]. _M: 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.

) m* O; `% U# }* u0 cL: 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.

L: 对，这两个缺点都有那就糟了。走吧，该会学校去念书了。

今天Michael和李华在纽约中央公园，一面看许多人滑冰，一面聊天。李华从Michael 那儿学到了两个常用语，一个是pig out，就是吃很多东西的意思；另一个是bigmouth，就是多嘴的人。
