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。

M: 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。

# ~/ w  j* Z6 Q) Q' C4 \- h4 j: @M: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.

: N$ h( E* N9 x( i# N1 l' b) rL: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？

" i: G6 V: f: c% T5 q; _5 UM: Yes, pigs eat a lot and that's where the expression pig out comes from. I did eat like a pig on Thanksgiving.
4 O6 j- i4 I/ e7 l9 L" T
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。

5 Y, `4 t  Q& T4 h5 Y/ XM: 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？
5 z) I1 ~7 [) ~, B2 x! W
M: 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？
