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。

L: 你们感恩节吃猪肉呀？我还以为感恩节都是吃火鸡呢。

M: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.
+ T' C/ l, `8 l, Y" |& e
L: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？

' a# w% ?4 _; Z% O6 c2 KM: Yes, pigs eat a lot and that's where the expression pig out comes from. I did eat like a pig on Thanksgiving.

4 _6 Y: D0 U- q7 k* TL: 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。
' S8 i5 B* y' Q" r+ ^" a/ ?5 C

$ Z' Y) ^# _: T6 ^* U% Z5 E2 ZL: Pig out这个说法只能指吃东西啊？能不能用在别的地方？
$ w  O( k; P) z; D$ B' c
M: No, not really. But don't forget that when you use it in the past tense, pig out should be pigged out.

5 v0 d( C& y1 T) g# bL: 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？

( ?6 _. c! S9 N* C3 KMichael, 是不是每年都有这么多人来中央公园滑冰？

M: 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...
' V( H) p, z' A2 w* c
