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

' K+ W# i+ A, DL: 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.

L: 你们感恩节吃猪肉呀？我还以为感恩节都是吃火鸡呢。

M: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.

L: 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.

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: 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。

. {5 B0 o/ V. L. ]* DM: Geez, Li Hua, you have such a bigmouth!

L: 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？

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。
