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。

1 S- s. ~% [, O+ z- j' DM: It was good to be with my family, but I was disappointed that you couldn't be there.

L: 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.

. O2 m9 A( |' d* f5 h2 n3 ^L: 你们感恩节吃猪肉呀？我还以为感恩节都是吃火鸡呢。
3 w4 t0 L# n: B
M: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.
  s- j& o6 Y% c0 Y
L: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？

, y9 i0 @4 y4 G5 YM: Yes, pigs eat a lot and that's where the expression pig out comes from. I did eat like a pig on Thanksgiving.

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。

- S5 Z6 ^  I, t% d: SM: Um, I certainly did.

L: Pig out这个说法只能指吃东西啊？能不能用在别的地方？

( J# d, b( T6 r4 X: ?" ]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!

' |# Z7 I) Z0 N8 [& QL: 噢，你不是说我嘴巴大，而是说我多嘴，爱嚼舌头，谈论别人。

/ Q7 a5 [! `/ g- g, G6 EM: That makes you a bigmouth.

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？

M: Yes, it is usually used in informal speech.

L: Michael，我真不应该那么多嘴，把 Josh和Emily准备结婚的事告诉别人。

( t" z# s( H) b6 `3 n, _6 `M: Well, don't worry about it. I tend to pig out and you're a bigmouth. Everyone has their faults.

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！

M: Just don't be a person who eats like a pig and also is a bigmouth.

L: 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。
