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

  M: F/ H6 V5 e* x3 j/ U3 L* hL: 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: No, not really. But don't forget that when you use it in the past tense, pig out should be pigged out.

L: 噢，你不是说我嘴巴大，而是说我多嘴，爱嚼舌头，谈论别人。
