1 R6 _2 b9 P" o/ D6 U& HL: 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。

2 u4 P1 W$ C9 ]; _5 l2 NM: 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.

M: Yes, pigs eat a lot and that's where the expression pig out comes from. I did eat like a pig on Thanksgiving.
! w& f! r/ ]$ r# E7 O# I
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。

0 ?, l4 p2 p" ~' \! y+ d; u2 |4 GM: 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？

: t/ E2 W) \; c6 FM: 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？

6 V3 s5 u& J" uM: You will pig out during the Christmas holidays.

- R) w7 S2 D, k  H1 E" KL: 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？

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...

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!
3 n2 r5 E+ h! D/ ]. W6 f
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: Michael，我真不应该那么多嘴，把 Josh和Emily准备结婚的事告诉别人。

" c. Z5 O' H2 @1 t  bL: 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.
