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。

# @4 b  Z8 R+ E% KL: Michael, 感恩节你过得好吗？

& P5 C8 y- U' l2 TM: It was good to be with my family, but I was disappointed that you couldn't be there.

! d( V9 m! ]& V5 xL: 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。

! x% B+ c9 t+ _8 nM: 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。

2 J- Q1 g1 K7 I6 a! qM: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.
/ e' @; n2 ^4 ?6 j+ r+ E
# l9 O: d/ c0 g! YL: 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.
+ O" m9 u) g3 `! r4 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。

M: Um, I certainly did.

# W$ p1 H  m  f# z  F+ e5 kL: 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。
