第二篇：Thanksgiving Day即感恩节

Thanksgiving Day即感恩节（美国、加拿大节日）。

感恩节（Thanksgiving Day）是美国和加拿大共有的节日，由美国人民独创，原意是为了感谢上天赐予的好收成、感谢印第安人的帮助。在美国，自1941年起，感恩节是在每年11月的第四个星期四，并从这一天起将休假两天；而加拿大与美国的感恩节时间不同，10月第二个星期一。像中国的春节一样，在这一天，成千上万的人们不管多忙，都要和自己的家人团聚。加拿大的感恩节则起始于1879年，是在每年10月第二个星期一，与美国的哥伦布日相同。

第三篇：Thanksgiving Day 感恩节的故事

Thanksgiving Day 感恩节的故事

Thanksgiving Day in America is a time to offer thanks, of family gatherings and holiday meals.A time of turkeys, stuffing, and pumpkin pie.A time for Indian corn, holiday parades and giant balloons.在美国，感恩节是一个感谢恩赐，家庭团聚，合家欢宴的日子；是一个家家餐桌上都有火鸡、填料、南瓜馅饼的日子；是一个充满了印第安玉米、假日游行和巨型气球的日子。

Thanksgiving is celebrated on the 4th Thursday of November, which this year(2006)is November 23rd.每年十一月的最后一个星期四是感恩节，在今年（2006）则是11月23日。下面让我们来看看感恩节的由来吧：

The Pilgrims who sailed to this country aboard the Mayflower were originally members of the English Separatist Church(a Puritan sect).They had earlier fled their home in England and sailed to Holland(The Netherlands)to escape religious persecution.There, they enjoyed more religious tolerance, but they eventually became disenchanted with the Dutch way of life, thinking it ungodly.Seeking a better life, the Separatists negotiated with a London stock company to finance a pilgrimage to America.Most of those making the trip aboard the Mayflower were non-Separatists, but were hired to protect the company's interests.Only about one-third of the original colonists were Separatists.乘“五月花”来到这个国度的旅行者（朝圣者）原本是英国分离者地下教会清教徒，他们的家在英国，因不堪忍受国内的宗教迫害，他们逃亡到荷兰。在荷兰，他们享受了更多的宗教信仰自由，但最终却意识到在荷兰的这种生活方式是对他们的主的亵渎。为了寻求更好的生活，他们与伦敦贸易公司协商，由该公司资助他们到美国。在这趟旅途中，船上只有大约1/3的乘客是清教徒，其他大多数人并非分离派清教徒，而是公司雇佣来保护其利益的人员（契约奴）。

The Pilgrims set ground at Plymouth Rock on December 11, 1620.Their first winter was devastating.At the beginning of the following fall, they had lost 46 of the original 102 who sailed on the Mayflower.But the harvest of 1621 was a bountiful one.And the remaining colonists decided to celebrate with a feast--including 91 Indians who had helped the Pilgrims survive their first year.It is believed that the Pilgrims would not have made it through the year without the help of the natives.The feast was more of a traditional English harvest festival than a true “thanksgiving” observance.It lasted three days.1620年12月11日，旅行者们在“普利茅斯石”登陆。他们的第一个冬季是灾难性的，由于食物不足、天气寒冷、传染病肆虐和过度劳累，这批清教徒一下子死去了一半以上。第二年春天，当地印第安部落酋长马萨索德带领心地善良的印第安人，给了清教徒谷物种子，并教他们打猎、种植庄稼、捕鱼等。在印第安人的帮助下，清教徒们当年获得了大丰收。首任总督威廉·布莱德福为此建议设立一个节日，庆祝丰收，感谢上帝的恩赐。同时，还想借此节日加强白人与印第安人的和睦关系。１６２１年１１月下旬的星期四，清教徒们和马萨索德带来的９０名印第安人欢聚一堂，庆祝美国历史上第一个感恩节。这次节日的盛宴不仅仅是一个“感恩”仪式，它更像英国传统的丰收庆典。男性清教徒外出打猎、捕捉火鸡，女人们则在家里用玉米、南瓜、红薯和果子等做成美味佳肴。就这样，白人和印第安人围着篝火，边吃边聊，还载歌载舞，整个庆祝活动持续了三天。Governor William Bradford sent “four men fowling” after wild ducks and geese.It is not certain that wild turkey was part of their feast.However, it is certain that they had venison.The term “turkey” was used by the Pilgrims to mean any sort of wild fowl.总督布雷德福派了“四人捕鸟队”去捕捉野鸭和野鹅。我们现在并不能确定是否有野生火鸡在当时的筵席上，但筵席上肯定有鹿肉。当时，朝圣者用 “火鸡”一词来代表各种野禽。

Another modern staple at almost every Thanksgiving table is pumpkin pie.But it is unlikely that the first feast included that treat.The supply of flour had been long diminished, so there was no bread or pastries of any kind.However, they did eat boiled pumpkin, and they produced a type of fried bread from their corn crop.There was also no milk, cider, potatoes, or butter.There was no domestic cattle for dairy products, and the newly-discovered potato was still considered by many Europeans to be poisonous.But the feast did include fish, berries, watercress, lobster, dried fruit, clams, venison, and plums.现在，几乎每家感恩节餐桌上都有南瓜馅饼――感恩节的另一种主食。但在当年的第一次庆典上却不可能有这种食品。因为面粉奇缺，所以面包、馅饼、糕点等食物都没有。但他们却吃了煮南瓜，并用收获的玉米制成了一种油炸面包。也没有牛奶、苹果酒、土豆和黄油。没有驯养的奶牛，自然没有牛奶；而新发现的土豆被很多欧洲人认为是有毒的。第一次庆典上有鱼、草莓、豆瓣菜、龙虾、干果、蛤、鹿肉、李子等。

This “thanksgiving” feast was not repeated the following year.But in 1623, during a severe drought, the pilgrims gathered in a prayer service, praying for rain.When a long, steady rain followed the very next day, Governor Bradford proclaimed another day of Thanksgiving, again inviting their Indian friends.It wasn't until June of 1676 that another Day of Thanksgiving was proclaimed.紧接着的第二年(1622)却没有举行“感恩”庆典。到了1623年，发生了一场严重的旱灾，朝圣者们聚集到一起，举行了虔诚的祁雨仪式，刚好在第二天，一场充沛的大雨从天而降。威廉布雷德福总督宣布再次庆祝感恩节，并再次邀请了他们的印第安朋友。之后数年无感恩节，直到1676年6月，感恩节才再次被提出。

On June 20, 1676, the governing council of Charlestown, Massachusetts, held a meeting to determine how best to express thanks for the good fortune that had seen their community securely established.By unanimous vote they instructed Edward Rawson, the clerk, to proclaim June 29 as a day of thanksgiving.It is notable that this thanksgiving celebration probably did not include the Indians, as the celebration was meant partly to be in recognition of the colonists' recent victory over the “heathen natives,”

1676年6月20日，马萨诸塞州的查尔斯顿政府委员会召开了一次会议，讨论如何才能最好表达对主的谢意：主赐予他们好运，庇佑他们安全地建立了他们的邦联。经过意见不统一的投票，由书记爱德华.劳森宣布6月29日为当年的感恩节。值得注意的是，因此次庆典在一定程度上是殖民者对战胜“野蛮的土著人”的庆祝，故印第安人极有可能未参加此次庆典。

October of 1777 marked the first time that all 13 colonies joined in a thanksgiving celebration.It also commemorated the patriotic victory over the British at Saratoga.But it was a one-time affair.1777年10月，13个殖民地第一次联合举办了感恩节庆典，这也是对萨拉托加一役中战胜英国人所取得的爱国主义的胜利的纪念。但只举行了这一年。

George Washington proclaimed a National Day of Thanksgiving in 1789, although some were opposed to it.There was discord among the colonies, many feeling the hardships of a few Pilgrims did not warrant a national holiday.And later, President Thomas Jefferson scoffed at the idea of having a day of thanksgiving.1789年，尽管出现反对的呼声，华盛顿总统还是宣布感恩节为全国性节日。在殖民地中也存在意见的分歧，不少人认为，仅仅一小撮朝圣者所经历的那些艰难困苦并不值得用一个全国节日来纪念。之后，杰弗逊总统还对这件事嗤之以鼻。

It was Sarah Josepha Hale, a magazine editor, whose efforts eventually led to what we recognize as Thanksgiving.Hale wrote many editorials championing her cause in her Boston Ladies' Magazine, and later, in Godey's Lady's Book.Finally, after a 40-year campaign of writing editorials and letters to governors and presidents, Hale's obsession became a reality when, in 1863, President Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday in November as a national day of Thanksgiving.若没有萨拉·J·黑尔――一位杂志编辑的努力，最终就不会有我们现在所谓的感恩节。在她主编的“波士顿妇女杂志”及稍后的“Godey's 女士手册”中，她撰写了大量的社论，支持将感恩节定为全国性节日。40年中，她坚持不懈地发表评论，不断致信州长乃至总统，最后，理想终于变为现实：1863年，林肯总统发表声明，将11月的最后一个星期四定为感恩节――一个全国性的节日。

Thanksgiving was proclaimed by every president after Lincoln.The date was changed a couple of times, most recently by Franklin Roosevelt, who set it up one week to the next-to-last Thursday in order to create a longer Christmas shopping season.Public uproar against this decision caused the president to move Thanksgiving back to its original date two years later.And in 1941, Thanksgiving was finally sanctioned by Congress as a legal holiday, as the fourth Thursday in November.从此历届总统都按此行事。但具体时间也发生过几次变化。最近的一次是富兰克林·罗斯福总统宣布的。为开创一个更长的圣诞购物季节，罗斯福总统宣布将感恩节日期改在11月的倒数第二个星期四，即提前了一个星期。但公众反对呼声太高，两年后，总统不得不将感恩节日期改回到原来的时间。1941年，美国国会最终通过决议，将感恩节定为美国法定假日，的时间是每年11月的最后一个星期四。

第四篇：Thanksgiving Day 感恩节英文介绍

Thanksgiving Day 感恩节英文介绍

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[1] 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[2].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[3] 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[4] 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[5] blessings.Almost every culture in the world has held celebrations of thanks for a plentiful harvest.The American Thanksgiving holiday began as a feast of thanksgiving in the early days of the American colonies almost four hundred years ago.In 1620, a boat filled with more than one hundred people sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to settle in the New World（新大陆）.This religious group had begun to question the beliefs of the Church of England and they wanted to separate from it.The Pilgrims settled in what is now the state of Massachusetts.Their first winter in the New World was difficult.They had arrived too late to grow many crops, and without fresh food, half the colony died from disease.The following spring the Iroquois Indians（美国纽约州东北部易洛魁族印第安人）taught them how to grow corn, a new food for the colonists.They showed them other crops to grow in the unfamiliar soil and how to hunt and fish.In the autumn of 1621, bountiful crops of corn, barley（大麦）, beans and pumpkins were harvested.The colonists had much to be thankful for, so a feast was planned.They invited the local Indian chief and 90 Indians.The Indians brought deer to roast with the turkeys and other wild game offered by the colonists.The colonists had learned how to cook cranberries and different kinds of corn and squash dishes from the Indians.To this first Thanksgiving, the Indians had even brought popcorn.In following years, many of the original colonists celebrated the autumn harvest with a feast of thanks.After the United States became an independent country, Congress recommended one yearly day of thanksgiving for the whole nation to celebrate.George Washington suggested the date November 26 as Thanksgiving Day.Then in 1863, at the end of a long and bloody civil war, Abraham Lincoln asked all Americans to set aside the last Thursday in November as a day of thanksgiving.Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday of November, a different date every year.The President must proclaim that date as the official celebration.Thanksgiving is a time for tradition and sharing.Even if they live far away, family members gather for a reunion at the house of an older relative.All give thanks together for the good things that they have.In this spirit of sharing, civic groups and charitable organizations offer a traditional meal to those in need, particularly the homeless.On most tables throughout the United States, foods eaten at the first thanksgiving have become traditional.Symbols of Thanksgiving

Turkey, corn, pumpkins and cranberry sauce（酸果曼沙司）are symbols which represent the first Thanksgiving.Now all of these symbols are drawn on holiday decorations and greeting cards.The use of corn meant the survival of the colonies.“Indian corn” as a table or door decoration represents the harvest and the fall season.Sweet-sour cranberry sauce, or cranberry jelly, was on the first Thanksgiving table and is still served today.The cranberry is a small, sour berry.It grows in bogs（沼泽）, or muddy areas, in Massachusetts and other New England states.The Indians used the fruit to treat infections.They used the juice to dye their rugs and blankets.They taught the colonists how to cook the berries with sweetener（甜味佐料）and water to make a sauce.The Indians called it “ibimi” which means “bitter berry.” When the colonists saw it, they named it “crane-berry” because the flowers of the berry bent the stalk over, and it resembled the long-necked bird called a crane.The berries are still grown in New England.In 1988, a Thanksgiving ceremony of a different kind took place at the Cathedral of St.John the Divine.More than four thousand people gathered on Thanksgiving night.Among them were Native Americans representing tribes from all over the country and descendants of people whose ancestors had migrated to the New World.The ceremony was a public acknowledgment of the Indians' role in the first

Thanksgiving 350 years ago.Until recently most schoolchildren believed that the Pilgrims cooked the entire Thanksgiving feast, and offered it to the Indians.In fact, the feast was planned to thank the Indians for teaching them how to cook those foods.Without the Indians, the first settlers would not have survived.
