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。

L: Michael, 感恩节你过得好吗？

5 M$ a# z0 I! q0 U# EL: 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。

8 K5 O! ^; }  Q( I/ WM: 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: 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？

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: No, I'm saying you talk a lot about other people's business!

L: 噢，你不是说我嘴巴大，而是说我多嘴，爱嚼舌头，谈论别人。
