L: 你们感恩节吃猪肉呀？我还以为感恩节都是吃火鸡呢。

; M- |: N3 Q5 o& 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.
9 ]2 F# @- j7 Q
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。

( k, d3 {! l+ o' U2 R- [L: Pig out这个说法只能指吃东西啊？能不能用在别的地方？

" m6 w" z% C7 t7 ^, O+ M  I  HM: 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？

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！

6 p# J& U$ S+ x$ l' V3 n8 y0 ~8 ^# gL: 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。

M: No, I'm saying you talk a lot about other people's business!

7 K2 I. u# e- `7 h  W4 R, j$ n# XL: 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.

7 L  |9 ~' z6 M/ aL: 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？
