Xbfeng

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？
! j) q/ X- ^8 |2 `: Q
M: It was good to be with my family, but I was disappointed that you couldn't be there.
( p5 G& f9 _; g& o7 L* |4 [
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。
$ A  D2 ^; z1 a6 L
M: Ok, well. It was a great meal, we all pigged out.

3 Y3 B6 R7 Z3 t& g2 O3 iL: 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.

L: 噢，pig out就是吃好多东西， 不是指吃猪肉呀？

, E- F6 o8 Y4 T3 a: sM: Yes, pigs eat a lot and that's where the expression pig out comes from. I did eat like a pig on Thanksgiving.

2 S$ v5 z$ u! a0 u/ Q/ Q% Q: 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.

) G; H* ]) ~8 ~- zL: Pig out这个说法只能指吃东西啊？能不能用在别的地方？

3 |7 I! N# [7 J& f' dM: 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？
! E4 s. i" q2 I" G) @; \
M: You will pig out during the Christmas holidays.

9 @$ t9 L3 _# N/ YL: 嗨，我是在说你，我才不会吃那么多东西呢！

6 _; a" n, t/ \4 t* BMichael, 是不是每年都有这么多人来中央公园滑冰？

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...

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。
: H2 l$ a) i' v0 K" ~
0 l7 K8 n* S1 s, L8 GM: Geez, Li Hua, you have such a bigmouth!

L: 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？

5 Y, n5 d2 o: z7 yM: No, I'm saying you talk a lot about other people's business!
( R6 j' m( D+ W# `1 _$ k/ d9 C
1 b3 J5 f+ o' d( ]# j& dL: 噢，你不是说我嘴巴大，而是说我多嘴，爱嚼舌头，谈论别人。
' z$ f! }+ N. s+ c
M: That makes you a bigmouth.

) V) P( s+ _, k" M# g7 h. OL: 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？
1 Q0 L) {) N& N5 n8 ^
M: Yes, it is usually used in informal speech.

L: Michael，我真不应该那么多嘴，把 Josh和Emily准备结婚的事告诉别人。

M: Well, don't worry about it. I tend to pig out and you're a bigmouth. Everyone has their faults.
2 O% U2 X9 H1 A9 v& s
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！

/ k% f3 N, ]3 {M: Just don't be a person who eats like a pig and also is a bigmouth.

L: 对，这两个缺点都有那就糟了。走吧，该会学校去念书了。
