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。

- K' Z$ f! }! k) X3 FL: Michael, 感恩节你过得好吗？
; u  U, J/ P. m$ A
3 Z- T2 ~9 c' h& EM: 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。

' J9 b% y; b, _5 IM: 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。

9 j6 l1 F8 ~% j% }  nM: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.

# a' ~5 K9 L# }; e0 r. X4 P: o+ TL: 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.

' R* k$ ^! o8 L+ u! BL: 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.
8 H7 U- k  l3 U
  |# N. v3 h7 TL: Pig out这个说法只能指吃东西啊？能不能用在别的地方？

M: No, not really. But don't forget that when you use it in the past tense, pig out should be pigged out.

% e  @, D0 O  i  oL: 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？
& Y5 w! Z. ^9 A; s0 U8 d
7 u* h$ g2 q3 SM: You will pig out during the Christmas holidays.

L: 嗨，我是在说你，我才不会吃那么多东西呢！

Michael, 是不是每年都有这么多人来中央公园滑冰？

5 a* I" k. U; J( ]$ y8 c* W0 \: T1 yL: 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 M2 k* k1 T2 c% q. V& kL: 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!

+ K; k* t/ Y# J; m$ j" XL: 噢，你不是说我嘴巴大，而是说我多嘴，爱嚼舌头，谈论别人。

$ L2 P, _2 q# {0 n6 Y2 u$ Z, Y3 c4 ^1 f
M: Yes, it is usually used in informal speech.
2 j; p( i- K  V& w$ J
L: Michael，我真不应该那么多嘴，把 Josh和Emily准备结婚的事告诉别人。
' E9 S- }2 ~: K9 F
M: Well, don't worry about it. I tend to pig out and you're a bigmouth. Everyone has their faults.
. @& a. z7 Y) n% r2 U
L: 哟，你倒是想得开，人人有缺点，你爱象猪那样吃，我爱谈论别人。这样就好象什么事也没了！

M: Just don't be a person who eats like a pig and also is a bigmouth.

L: 对，这两个缺点都有那就糟了。走吧，该会学校去念书了。
