L: 你们感恩节吃猪肉呀？我还以为感恩节都是吃火鸡呢。

+ S6 z6 Q7 y7 n5 f) fM: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.

# I3 D* ~1 L8 E5 mL: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？

: G( ~: U3 Q3 Z' `1 R; OM: Yes, pigs eat a lot and that's where the expression pig out comes from. I did eat like a pig on Thanksgiving.

* n2 l" ?3 j) }8 D5 ?& V3 T6 DL: 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。

2 F# W* j/ w+ U5 bM: Um, I certainly did.

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？

M: You will pig out during the Christmas holidays.
