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。

; x# i- b& E6 g" H/ TL: 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.

& s) x* {9 r# c& S; ~- YL: 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。

L: 你们感恩节吃猪肉呀？我还以为感恩节都是吃火鸡呢。

% [) `* T! ~' b8 m, SM: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.

6 W  G. Q3 n0 g% }7 }: FL: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？

# _$ }* [$ g" E" eM: Yes, pigs eat a lot and that's where the expression pig out comes from. I did eat like a pig on Thanksgiving.

* i& m# L; {# h' j$ {6 pL: 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。

9 [* \/ E/ ?3 L+ ?* h% @  ]! oL: Pig out这个说法只能指吃东西啊？能不能用在别的地方？
8 _: `; X' W" M2 ?) S. C
M: No, not really. But don't forget that when you use it in the past tense, pig out should be pigged out.
$ k: y1 ^- \& U' a
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？

M: You will pig out during the Christmas holidays.

/ ^1 d3 i. \$ U0 m1 xL: 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？

# {6 H* e6 o" W, g# KM: 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...

9 M+ T0 ^8 |( J+ U4 jL: 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。

L: 噢，你不是说我嘴巴大，而是说我多嘴，爱嚼舌头，谈论别人。

7 q* o1 K* B4 {. nM: That makes you a bigmouth.

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？

M: Well, don't worry about it. I tend to pig out and you're a bigmouth. Everyone has their faults.

% r! n# C" R' b2 @( Q# _M: Just don't be a person who eats like a pig and also is a bigmouth.
