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。

L: Michael, 感恩节你过得好吗？

M: It was good to be with my family, but I was disappointed that you couldn't be there.

4 q# I8 k, X: o5 yL: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？

9 Z3 S% l) b  P6 X4 X$ XM: Yes, pigs eat a lot and that's where the expression pig out comes from. I did eat like a pig on Thanksgiving.

$ m4 V* g0 L' U; C+ d/ s. z2 ^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.

' ]* Z: p6 B% {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？

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。

M: Yes, it is usually used in informal speech.

% s. @* I* z, y" P/ }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.

L: 对，这两个缺点都有那就糟了。走吧，该会学校去念书了。
