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: 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.

& X. p) `+ m2 I7 Z( \- pM: 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？

* H4 w$ h: |) p% M- ~3 |6 z. IM: Yes, pigs eat a lot and that's where the expression pig out comes from. I did eat like a pig on Thanksgiving.

' y( f# P1 s. ]5 o' O; P7 z) GL: 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？

# N( ]+ o* b: E3 U( a1 i8 \# Z8 zM: 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: 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...
( A. @! h7 P& t9 ]
L: 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: Geez, Li Hua, you have such a bigmouth!

L: 你生气了？肯定是骂我。说我是bigmouth，大嘴巴！你是说我吃很多东西吗？

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.

5 \* L( m- W/ N, O: s8 _; ?: PL: 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？
