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。

/ c' _9 a9 ^. q' G: o. ?5 EL: 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.
6 ^. ]. c1 c/ S/ I: W- z4 b
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.

1 ?& T3 v7 n- Y* M6 F9 ?/ GL: 你们感恩节吃猪肉呀？我还以为感恩节都是吃火鸡呢。
: D( W: h" X. u9 b
2 ~/ p- j( U2 F2 ?" g" kM: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.

' _8 F/ |6 u. hL: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？
( _' ^, ?7 h6 V& I% ?& b1 [
M: Yes, pigs eat a lot and that's where the expression pig out comes from. I did eat like a pig on Thanksgiving.

' j, p2 U$ x  }- v. l2 ]" NL: 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.

4 E! K) U: F, j/ ?# F8 U5 F" a7 n$ VL: Pig out这个说法只能指吃东西啊？能不能用在别的地方？
# [5 v9 a1 `" U) ]
3 O6 R$ |6 c0 R7 l  _& nM: No, not really. But don't forget that when you use it in the past tense, pig out should be pigged out.
& ~6 a- O8 H- F( Q/ R. }
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？
( @2 [5 S  @7 R0 Z  u
7 d. @" f& q, g' d; s0 \M: 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！

Michael, 是不是每年都有这么多人来中央公园滑冰？

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...
, W# T2 L2 w2 ^- o6 r/ n# a
; S6 Q; Z. w0 JL: 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。
6 E, F: P2 a) G! ]& ?8 h9 e
1 [) x  e; K" a8 k/ P8 Z. p. L1 Z! dM: Geez, Li Hua, you have such a bigmouth!

3 k5 s- W* o" Q) O+ x, gL: 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？

9 w2 y3 C% Z6 B0 M. T) SM: 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。
" \9 D3 L! k2 w- `" T; s
M: That makes you a bigmouth.
1 t# Q/ T8 v& F$ h$ A
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？

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

0 Y) s7 S* Q2 P# lL: 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 h) t& f0 L$ L( {, B. E5 b
: z: a* K6 q# oM: Well, don't worry about it. I tend to pig out and you're a bigmouth. Everyone has their faults.

, X7 \6 \4 y1 I; o! ]6 C& z0 sL: 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.

! ^. D* h5 D* IL: 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。
