0 ^" E8 }- P  TL: 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。

3 i( x3 t$ R$ xM: 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。
2 I6 Q$ B" K  t
M: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.

7 E7 _: x! P, p- R: Z3 u' ?0 UL: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？

3 |, S0 R5 ]7 W2 ML: 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。

M: Um, I certainly did.

, p/ _: q" X& y# m+ B9 R4 ~; }M: No, not really. But don't forget that when you use it in the past tense, pig out should be pigged out.

  H$ u1 b; N# P; V, `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: 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。
