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。

5 x2 F: O& t. \' jM: It was good to be with my family, but I was disappointed that you couldn't be there.

, I" F/ S& J* |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。

5 h, y3 |$ z4 @" N/ IM: Ok, well. It was a great meal, we all pigged out.

: w5 J/ O* K( W: _+ [% CL: 你们感恩节吃猪肉呀？我还以为感恩节都是吃火鸡呢。

M: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.

0 S1 T' p$ C' {. |0 yL: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？

" ]# k8 `& G4 }5 ~+ }' mM: Yes, pigs eat a lot and that's where the expression pig out comes from. I did eat like a pig on Thanksgiving.
' d2 P( X! ~" ]! m
3 b6 }# @2 q) c5 hL: 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.

L: 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.

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？
