M: It was good to be with my family, but I was disappointed that you couldn't be there.

& G, Q% e) ^- p* rL: 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。

8 Z" I0 _. e" Z9 ?$ OM: Ok, well. It was a great meal, we all pigged out.

" g  a& V# J; AL: 你们感恩节吃猪肉呀？我还以为感恩节都是吃火鸡呢。

8 r7 L2 c) h+ R% N# p5 F5 m! mM: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.

& K: W2 z$ f# X( w$ b# Z8 k  XL: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？

: J9 x5 ~3 k) \9 v8 t; [7 LM: Yes, pigs eat a lot and that's where the expression pig out comes from. I did eat like a pig on Thanksgiving.

. h) |* v4 f1 ]* m1 b3 n5 c5 nL: 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.

L: 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.

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。
