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。

M: It was good to be with my family, but I was disappointed that you couldn't be there.

. U! T7 E) O, n4 }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。

M: Ok, well. It was a great meal, we all pigged out.

: r3 }. |1 D2 V4 f! TL: 你们感恩节吃猪肉呀？我还以为感恩节都是吃火鸡呢。
  y, T$ e( k$ g2 [/ R  Y
M: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.

L: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？
5 m: |2 f! K1 d3 J) J
M: Yes, pigs eat a lot and that's where the expression pig out comes from. I did eat like a pig on Thanksgiving.
6 o: W9 Z( v6 l
L: 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。

" v" r7 @4 d) X% ~; Q; b: V
# b0 ?% T8 j$ _9 E( C: h* SM: No, not really. But don't forget that when you use it in the past tense, pig out should be pigged out.

/ l! P# @3 y, F& T$ XM: 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？

& y: v0 R$ m( p) I+ S/ D' D# Q8 u& ~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...

M: No, I'm saying you talk a lot about other people's business!
# j2 ?3 O' ]3 ~+ W# ~6 t
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.

# r' {- k2 I7 r! lL: 我们女孩子都喜欢谈论别人。不过，Michael，我从来没在书上看到过这个词，是不是一般在口语里用？

; f& m5 a& s. L- e1 JM: Yes, it is usually used in informal speech.

6 ?, y# s8 E8 n! B. R$ V3 HL: Michael，我真不应该那么多嘴，把 Josh和Emily准备结婚的事告诉别人。

' v7 y" r9 q, l. O: fM: Well, don't worry about it. I tend to pig out and you're a bigmouth. Everyone has their faults.
8 N& d- O7 A: M3 F/ a
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.
1 I! {  r) i1 {% Z) b, }

今天Michael和李华在纽约中央公园，一面看许多人滑冰，一面聊天。李华从Michael 那儿学到了两个常用语，一个是pig out，就是吃很多东西的意思；另一个是bigmouth，就是多嘴的人。
