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。

7 o* e3 r: g( n5 EM: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.

6 }1 q' T7 U- ^* X, B' O& G/ d. NL: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？

! t1 [) O( X1 s5 x( GL: 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。

6 k% U4 d" }3 S2 T6 @# V& hM: Um, I certainly did.

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!

3 D# _9 f6 N1 G, a# ^8 V* zL: 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+ @$ B6 Y6 l9 d# \% m7 U! xL: 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.

L: 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？

M: Well, don't worry about it. I tend to pig out and you're a bigmouth. Everyone has their faults.

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！

0 }7 l. b8 X$ {- i5 o  A- BM: Just don't be a person who eats like a pig and also is a bigmouth.

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。
