L: Michael, 感恩节你过得好吗？
0 o, H, R9 a; R# g9 _1 K
M: 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.

L: 你们感恩节吃猪肉呀？我还以为感恩节都是吃火鸡呢。

7 b/ N9 {$ W) L% Q% Z+ n) S# n8 wM: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.

. z' I/ u! L& u5 L# FL: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？

  b, k) N# y8 LL: 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。

7 H/ ^4 h: r8 D) \- d0 SM: Um, I certainly did.

( w' }& ]3 m! e3 ZL: Pig out这个说法只能指吃东西啊？能不能用在别的地方？
, B' j  O! W# V' v# o7 h3 e
M: No, not really. But don't forget that when you use it in the past tense, pig out should be pigged out.

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？

Michael, 是不是每年都有这么多人来中央公园滑冰？

0 Z5 M* z) b# r7 wM: 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: 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.

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？

, Q# k; T) O3 E  VM: Yes, it is usually used in informal speech.

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。
