L: 你们感恩节吃猪肉呀？我还以为感恩节都是吃火鸡呢。
  O) f! S& L2 i
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？

( T+ Y% a! G# Z: g# A: \M: Yes, pigs eat a lot and that's where the expression pig out comes from. I did eat like a pig on Thanksgiving.

& ~  S* V; }/ ?0 W& 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。

% ^. K3 r; |0 e! ~4 l5 @/ CM: Um, I certainly did.

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？

* p+ y3 z4 t6 d9 P! k  wM: You will pig out during the Christmas holidays.

& H# G6 E; T* x/ X( F+ j, |' RL: 嗨，我是在说你，我才不会吃那么多东西呢！

Michael, 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...

8 T3 m3 H- V! c4 a* ^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!

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？
