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。

L: Michael, 感恩节你过得好吗？

! e( ~6 j6 V& K! t5 tM: It was good to be with my family, but I was disappointed that you couldn't be there.

: T( {. t4 D; ~+ H4 s$ X, p9 g7 d. A' ML: 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。
