L: 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。

M: Ok, well. It was a great meal, we all pigged out.

! U& v% K9 R0 v* F1 GL: 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.

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。

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？
