6 t) Z0 }* r7 q( T& r+ dL: 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。

* R( a0 {* \# y" hM: 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。

- L/ H; O1 a: b) ^5 I( `; ~M: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.

4 q; }4 l4 k9 M2 r0 oL: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？

M: Yes, pigs eat a lot and that's where the expression pig out comes from. I did eat like a pig on Thanksgiving.
; l2 `; ]1 ^2 T  |! [/ ]
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。
