L: 你们感恩节吃猪肉呀？我还以为感恩节都是吃火鸡呢。
# l% T6 N4 o& u1 {& Q1 Z
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？
9 G. A/ N5 X: N* a3 D: h9 ~3 d
M: Yes, pigs eat a lot and that's where the expression pig out comes from. I did eat like a pig on Thanksgiving.

3 `9 @" p- P; t7 C: eL: 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.

L: Pig out这个说法只能指吃东西啊？能不能用在别的地方？
* S$ p2 ]- x! s) L: M, w
M: No, not really. But don't forget that when you use it in the past tense, pig out should be pigged out.

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。
