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。

8 U9 ]. Y9 s8 tM: It was good to be with my family, but I was disappointed that you couldn't be there.

8 V+ {  H2 _' `5 _" BL: 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。

4 Q, L( ~4 G5 [) MM: 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。

M: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.

: b* [& z/ }( R! y- ^L: 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# B/ S2 o+ o3 |2 |3 x' @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。

M: Um, I certainly did.

: K# |9 _, ~' X( L; kL: 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.

7 c& l7 Z0 M5 A' ?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？
- }: R5 L$ g& _% C5 N& X
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！

Michael, 是不是每年都有这么多人来中央公园滑冰？

4 h; D* a2 q) Y! B% TM: 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: 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。

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？

M: No, I'm saying you talk a lot about other people's business!
& F: p1 {' Y1 K* |) b
L: 噢，你不是说我嘴巴大，而是说我多嘴，爱嚼舌头，谈论别人。

& O( G8 V3 H; |  ?* @% I/ bM: That makes you a bigmouth.
; T+ `: g- u3 a1 h! F5 p: j
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？

3 @+ ^- z2 V7 q& b3 d, UM: Yes, it is usually used in informal speech.

6 B: \3 N% Y( W& fL: Michael，我真不应该那么多嘴，把 Josh和Emily准备结婚的事告诉别人。

2 Q( H2 w* H: U* |7 `, O7 }M: Well, don't worry about it. I tend to pig out and you're a bigmouth. Everyone has their faults.
8 f, h% \9 ?. W9 I+ F0 z/ J
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！

6 P7 l* b, T6 p/ _  G0 }M: Just don't be a person who eats like a pig and also is a bigmouth.

9 V" i) @' `4 F9 HL: 对，这两个缺点都有那就糟了。走吧，该会学校去念书了。

今天Michael和李华在纽约中央公园，一面看许多人滑冰，一面聊天。李华从Michael 那儿学到了两个常用语，一个是pig out，就是吃很多东西的意思；另一个是bigmouth，就是多嘴的人。
