用法說明
How is "Pig" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Pig"?
pig out on something vs. pig oneself
- pig out on something 是一個常見的動詞片語，意思是「狼吞虎嚥地吃某物」，強調的是暴食的行為和食物本身。
- pig oneself 則是一個反身動詞結構，意思是「讓自己像豬一樣大吃大喝」，重點在於描述主語（吃的人）的狀態或行為，後面常接形容詞或副詞來修飾。
- 兩者都帶有非正式、戲謔或略帶貶義的色彩，通常用於口語。
對比例句： EN: We pigged out on pizza and ice cream during the movie marathon. 翻譯: 我們在馬拉松式看電影時，狂吃披薩和冰淇淋。
EN:He really pigged himself at the all-you-can-eat buffet.
翻譯:他在吃到飽的餐廳裡真的把自己吃成了一頭豬。
總結建議
在非正式口語中，想表達「狂吃」某種特定食物時用 pig out on，而想強調某人「吃相難看或吃得過量」的狀態時則用 pig oneself。

正式書寫注意：在正式或學術寫作中，應避免使用 'pig' 作為動詞（如 pig out）或上述口語中的比喻用法。這些表達被視為非常不正式且可能顯得粗俗。應改用更中性的詞彙，如 'overindulge'、'eat greedily' 或 'consume excessively'。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Pig"?Which "Pig" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×We pigged the food.
✓We pigged out on the food.
The verb 'pig' is almost always used in the phrasal verb 'pig out' meaning to eat greedily. Using 'pig' alone as a verb for eating is incorrect.
×He pigged out yesterday.
✓He pigged out yesterday.
While this sentence is technically correct, learners often mistakenly think 'pig out' is irregular. The past tense is correctly formed by adding '-ed' (pigged). The note clarifies this common doubt.
×Don't pig out.
✓Don't pig out on junk food.
While 'pig out' can be used intransitively, it is more common and natural to specify what you are eating greedily using 'on + [food]'. The bare intransitive use can sound incomplete.
×He made himself into a pig at dinner. (Intended meaning: He ate like a pig.)
✓He pigged out at dinner. / He ate like a pig at dinner.
A direct translation from expressions like '吃得像豬一樣' results in an unnatural English sentence. Use the phrasal verb 'pig out' or the simile 'eat like a pig'.
×The room was so messy, it pigged.
✓The room was so messy, it was a pigsty.
The verb 'pig' is not used to mean 'to be messy or live messily'. The correct expression uses the noun 'pigsty' to describe a very messy place.
