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？
' ^) `6 d0 B7 V9 k. `* l+ i
M: It was good to be with my family, but I was disappointed that you couldn't be there.
# L( W8 g! Q$ D. g1 s
1 a) v% ]8 E) ^4 jL: 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。

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。

, d- ~2 h2 y; l) H6 d7 B  @$ d0 `* `M: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.

3 l% i) F  A. k. w
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。
, C: }; I' X' A* Q4 E4 V
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.
2 B6 B4 N# c; S6 L: Q
3 y4 L3 C9 h2 U" I" ~* i- D' YL: 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？
% A  i9 Q3 W- y) ^1 z0 d2 {, \: s
M: You will pig out during the Christmas holidays.

L: 嗨，我是在说你，我才不会吃那么多东西呢！

1 J0 Q8 K1 x1 a& f/ BMichael, 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...
& g* g, U' k4 y* N3 P
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!
4 t3 v9 v  X, P3 I/ k, {$ F* u
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？

M: No, I'm saying you talk a lot about other people's business!
4 t$ w5 }/ N2 ]1 ]! M, @8 {1 p
L: 噢，你不是说我嘴巴大，而是说我多嘴，爱嚼舌头，谈论别人。
9 A( k& A3 x/ I& _( K$ D
M: That makes you a bigmouth.
& c- h2 v9 V* a
L: 我们女孩子都喜欢谈论别人。不过，Michael，我从来没在书上看到过这个词，是不是一般在口语里用？

, p4 R4 E1 I. \# Z4 g/ eL: 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！

+ D# w7 W6 S, d; wM: Just don't be a person who eats like a pig and also is a bigmouth.
