L: Michael, 感恩节你过得好吗？

M: It was good to be with my family, but I was disappointed that you couldn't be there.

: j* B& ]' x& A2 I4 KL: 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.

6 N+ t2 K* a0 Z6 SL: 你们感恩节吃猪肉呀？我还以为感恩节都是吃火鸡呢。
1 e! t# F, p2 C6 i! U9 G& O
M: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.

  M' Z9 Z+ I- N: _- `8 ~' H4 XL: 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.

: Y: m( y& h; w* \5 R. uL: 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。

L: Pig out这个说法只能指吃东西啊？能不能用在别的地方？

M: No, not really. But don't forget that when you use it in the past tense, pig out should be pigged out.

Michael, 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...

6 X5 b5 u" w! X# xL: 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。
