L: 你们感恩节吃猪肉呀？我还以为感恩节都是吃火鸡呢。

L: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？

, X" M( u9 t5 G9 p+ fM: 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 \  }7 Y8 H% ^1 i. f" xM: 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: 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？

* z" x+ @0 \5 k: S* M) \' cM: 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: 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。

( E7 Y5 O6 Z  O1 P) I6 yM: No, I'm saying you talk a lot about other people's business!

( b9 s# ~( A1 |( C3 PL: 噢，你不是说我嘴巴大，而是说我多嘴，爱嚼舌头，谈论别人。

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！

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