感恩節(jié)英語手抄報素材
Thanksgiving Day is the most truly American of the national Holidays in the United States and is most closely connected with the earliest history of the country. In 1620, the settlers, or Pilgrims, they sailed to America on the May flower, seeking a place where they could have freedom of worship. After a tempestuous two-month voyage they landed at in icy November, what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts. During their first winter, over half of the settlers died of starvation or epidemics. Those who survived began sowing in the first spring. All summer long they waited for the harvests with great anxiety, knowing that their lives and the future existence of the colony depended on the coming harvest. Finally the fields produced a yield rich beyond expectations. And therefore it was decided that a day of thanksgiving to the Lord be fixed. Years later, President of the United States proclaimed the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving Day every year. The celebration of Thanksgiving Day has been observed on that date until today. The pattern of the Thanksgiving celebration has never changed through the years. The big family dinner is planned months ahead. On the dinner table, people will find apples, oranges, chestnuts, walnuts and grapes. There will be plum pudding, mince pie, other varieties of food and cranberry juice and squash. The best and most attractive among them are roast turkey and pumpkin pie. They have been the most traditional and favorite food on Thanksgiving Day throughout the years. Everyone agrees the dinner must be built around roast turkey stuffed with a bread dressing to absorb the tasty juices as it roasts. But as cooking varies with families and with the regions where one lives, it is not easy to get a consensus on the precise kind of stuffing for the royal bird. Thanksgiving today is, in every sense, a national annual holiday on which Americans of all faiths and backgrounds join in to express their thanks for the year' s bounty and reverently ask for continued blessings.
Family reunions and showing gratitude
團(tuán)圓與感恩
Like China’s Spring Festival, preparing a big meal and bringing the family together at home is a long-standing tradition of Thanksgiving. Distances don’t really matter as relatives return home to be with their family, no matter how far away.
和中國的春節(jié)一樣，準(zhǔn)備大餐和舉家團(tuán)聚是感恩節(jié)的悠久傳統(tǒng)。距離不是問題，無論多遠(yuǎn)，親人們都會趕回家與家人團(tuán)聚。
Undoubtedly, turkey is the main course of Thanksgiving dinner. Though there is no evidence to prove that turkey was eaten during the first Thanksgiving dinner, most agree that the dinner would be incomplete without it. A survey conducted by the US’ National Turkey Federation in 2012 shows that 91 percent of Americans eat turkey and more than 306 million kilograms of turkey are consumed on Thanksgiving Day.
毫無疑問，火雞是這頓節(jié)日大餐的重頭戲。盡管尚無證據(jù)表明第一頓感恩節(jié)的餐桌上是否有火雞的蹤影，但大多數(shù)人都贊同沒有火雞的感恩節(jié)大餐是不完整的。根據(jù)美國國家火雞聯(lián)盟2012年的調(diào)查數(shù)據(jù)顯示，在感恩節(jié)這一天，91%的美國家庭都會享用火雞，總量超過3.06億公斤。
Other dishes typically found on dinner tables in almost every house are pumpkin pies, corn, fall vegetables, olives, cranberry sauce, stuffing and mashed potatoes. At the meal, many families observe the ritual of taking turns to express what each member is thankful for.
家家戶戶餐桌上常見的菜品還有南瓜派、玉米、秋季時令蔬菜、橄欖、蔓越莓果醬、火雞填料和土豆泥。餐桌上，很多家庭會遵守一項(xiàng)慣例：輪流向每位家庭成員表達(dá)感謝。
