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。

5 g3 s; w8 M* Q' [4 `4 oL: Michael, 感恩节你过得好吗？

" W) W/ \: ]0 z9 R3 I5 eM: 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.

# y# W2 m6 Z& z  E, zL: 你们感恩节吃猪肉呀？我还以为感恩节都是吃火鸡呢。
# @+ l! T. L( ]& L: a
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.
9 W7 N. H' [; J; ?
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。

: s- t# L# P! D! `1 qM: 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？
