L: 你们感恩节吃猪肉呀？我还以为感恩节都是吃火鸡呢。

( e& m- O2 r+ A  cL: 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。

! ?5 `" D4 M1 i# f$ [) T  P/ ?M: No, not really. But don't forget that when you use it in the past tense, pig out should be pigged out.

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？

& l- H8 C3 a9 `& I- |8 o1 r& JM: You will pig out during the Christmas holidays.

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...

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!

9 D! Y4 e$ W, ]3 S7 E* ^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!
6 S: f8 p: L: Q
L: 噢，你不是说我嘴巴大，而是说我多嘴，爱嚼舌头，谈论别人。

M: That makes you a bigmouth.
