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.

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。

2 j! B: f9 D/ i4 S" yM: 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？

M: Yes, pigs eat a lot and that's where the expression pig out comes from. I did eat like a pig on Thanksgiving.
