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。

M: 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。

M: Ok, well. It was a great meal, we all pigged out.

( }% M+ d0 W* R7 T6 K: I& ^L: 你们感恩节吃猪肉呀？我还以为感恩节都是吃火鸡呢。

; D7 N6 M, I3 o1 X- |- M; v9 VM: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.
% [# i# A0 M- Y+ i% v9 E
L: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？
% h9 H1 O0 _, k4 P- |
M: Yes, pigs eat a lot and that's where the expression pig out comes from. I did eat like a pig on Thanksgiving.

& \4 b1 V; m6 y3 {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。

L: Pig out这个说法只能指吃东西啊？能不能用在别的地方？

! J6 s+ o- g7 o+ r+ IM: No, not really. But don't forget that when you use it in the past tense, pig out should be pigged out.

' C+ Y$ U2 T% XL: 嗨，我是在说你，我才不会吃那么多东西呢！

& B8 i( m7 B4 \. e) ~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...

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: No, I'm saying you talk a lot about other people's business!

L: 噢，你不是说我嘴巴大，而是说我多嘴，爱嚼舌头，谈论别人。

% E/ F, r( |" e; R3 i, U; ]M: That makes you a bigmouth.
$ d$ r# G1 V. b) O4 w1 M
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？

  Q' F- f, F/ S: v$ vM: Yes, it is usually used in informal speech.
4 l4 F8 [; I: p, T# I; U
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。

4 ]+ V. g# K7 |4 C4 O% A# sM: 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.
  v3 K" }. _- o1 R
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。
