Xbfeng

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。

" d- M8 U, c. @' N" z( M; m5 K) lL: Michael, 感恩节你过得好吗？

M: 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。

. l1 y* ?& O1 UM: Ok, well. It was a great meal, we all pigged out.

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

* z+ G/ L0 e; l3 v. I/ kL: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？
7 j+ K* ^1 e9 m* o" }1 J
M: 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。

M: Um, I certainly did.

: C7 L  l( g; |7 V6 wL: Pig out这个说法只能指吃东西啊？能不能用在别的地方？

0 O* ^8 v  g5 G' I8 k; O) kM: 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。

3 S$ j; S6 w7 lM: 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！

2 n( N$ T8 ?- D7 YM: Just don't be a person who eats like a pig and also is a bigmouth.

" t: S6 p( i7 v4 C& l5 k# UL: 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。
