Have you ever eaten so much that your belly hurts? Have you ever had four scoops of ice cream even though your mother said you could only have two? And then gone out for McDonald's?
If you have, you were “pigging out” (and you were probably sick afterwards). Pigs, like people, eat both meat and vegetables. But instead of just one kind of vegetable, some rice and a piece of chicken, pigs often eat many different things all at once.
Many farmers or families who own pigs often feed them scraps of whatever they have leftover from other animals' or people's lunches or dinners.

Because of this, whenever a person eats a lot of different kinds of food all at once it is often called “pigging out.”
While pigs don't always eat a lot of food, we often say a person eating everything he or she can find instead of just small amounts of one food at a time is “pigging out.”

你曾因吃太多而肚子痛嗎?媽媽說只能吃兩匙冰淇淋,你卻吃了四匙?然後再去麥當勞?
如果你曾經做過這些事,就是在「 pigging out」(事後你可能會覺得噁心)。豬像人一樣肉菜均食,不過不像人只吃一種蔬菜、一些飯跟一塊雞肉,牠們通常一下子吃進多種食物。

因此,只要一個人一下子吃掉很多種食物就叫做「pigging out」。
豬可不是老吃這麼多,但是通常只要有人不是一次只吃一種少量的食物,而是竭盡所能地大吃一頓,我們就稱他在「pigging out」。

Tangbao are one of the most internationally renowned delicacies, that win the hearts of both locals and tourists. Their charm lies in the paper-thin flour wrapper that needs to be folded evenly almost 20 times. Folding a tangbao requires skill to deal with a bulging filling and a thin wrapper. Tangbao are served in a bamboo steamer in which they are steamed, not only adding to the visual appearance, but ensuring they do not get cold before reaching the table. The best way to enjoy a tangbao is to dip it in a mixture of vinegar and soy sauce with
The Bank of Japan (BoJ) announced a seismic change in direction on March 19, hiking interest rates for the first time in 17 years. The move represents an unwinding of an ultra-loose — and maverick -- policy aimed at putting Japan’s “lost decades” of stagnation and deflation behind it. The last time the BoJ raised interest rates was in 2007, but its war against deflation began in earnest in 2013 under then-prime minister Shinzo Abe. “Abenomics” combined generous government spending and central bank monetary easing. The BoJ spent vast amounts on bonds and other assets to pump liquidity into the
Have you ever wished for an extra hour to prepare for exams or finish homework? In some countries, people actually adjust their clocks to gain or lose an hour, all for the sake of Daylight Saving Time (DST). Specifically, clocks are set forward by an hour in March and then set back in November. One of the primary reasons for implementing DST is to make better use of natural daylight so that people can reduce energy consumption. The concept originated with Benjamin Franklin in 1784 and became widely adopted during World War I. Today, this system is in place
For the first time, the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has fined a company for improper disposal of its defunct satellite. The satellite cable company Dish Network was fined US$150,000 because it failed to move an old satellite that was no longer in operation to a safe distance from others currently being used. The FCC had asked Dish Network to move one of its older satellites, EchoStar-7, 186 miles further from the Earth. However, the satellite had only advanced 76 miles before it ran out of fuel at the end of its operational life in 2022.
