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。

3 m# o7 K" x# }! b8 nL: Michael, 感恩节你过得好吗？

2 k/ W0 N  G% O" U- zM: It was good to be with my family, but I was disappointed that you couldn't be there.

5 w2 s9 H3 A" K7 ML: 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.

- n$ f) [. H9 q& vL: 你们感恩节吃猪肉呀？我还以为感恩节都是吃火鸡呢。

: J) |: u' E8 I; UM: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.
# Z+ ~) @7 F2 c' d6 M5 x" L

& L3 R/ O% d! WM: Yes, pigs eat a lot and that's where the expression pig out comes from. I did eat like a pig on Thanksgiving.
! V2 z9 ?: A7 @, T6 @
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。

' [6 J  {8 y- L' [- ~8 FM: Um, I certainly did.

L: Pig out这个说法只能指吃东西啊？能不能用在别的地方？

6 k2 q$ x9 M, uM: No, not really. But don't forget that when you use it in the past tense, pig out should be pigged out.

8 P7 J3 j; M0 A6 G% YM: 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。

# I6 G  {9 F* l! n% ZM: 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？
# r: S" J1 }8 X
M: No, I'm saying you talk a lot about other people's business!

1 z# F8 h# ]# F! wL: 噢，你不是说我嘴巴大，而是说我多嘴，爱嚼舌头，谈论别人。

M: That makes you a bigmouth.
. k' X( p  k9 ?$ z: B4 i& P0 o8 j7 X1 n
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.

! T" M6 n5 o5 z( |+ e! k2 \* hL: Michael，我真不应该那么多嘴，把 Josh和Emily准备结婚的事告诉别人。

M: Well, don't worry about it. I tend to pig out and you're a bigmouth. Everyone has their faults.
. Q4 J1 l% d9 ]! R8 ~* I
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。
