Theology 2 D 11.17 Yuxuan Li Theology Newsletter for Thanksgiving/Advent

I’d like to spend the next few days focusing on Thanksgiving.That’s right, Thanksgiving.Yes, I know that the official American holiday falls on the fourth Thursday in November, not the third Monday.So, yes, I know that I’m a week early.But I’d like to begin to offer some thoughts on Thanksgiving, even though we won’t be sitting down to a Turkey dinner for another 240 hours or so.Why start a conversation about Thanksgiving now? I do not mean in any way to undermine the specialness of the traditional holiday.I think it’s great that the United States continues to set apart a day a year for giving thanks.And I think it’s doubly great that most of us still believe that Thanksgiving is a day for actually giving thanks to God, not just a time for feeling nebulously thankful while filling our faces with a Turkey dinner and watching football on TV.My hope is that by writing about Thanksgiving a week and a half early, I might actually enhance your celebration of Thanksgiving, not detract from it.Thus, today’s post will be the first of several on giving thanks.There is a danger, I believe, in identifying one day a year as Thanksgiving Day.It’s the danger of implying that thanks is due on this day, but not on others.We face a similar danger, for example, when we designate the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.Shouldn’t children honor their mothers more than once a year? Similarly, shouldn’t we be thankful more often than once a year on the fourth Thursday of November? As a Christian, I would argue that giving thanks to God is important because it honors God.I would also argue that Scripture calls for consistent gratitude among God’s people.But, there is also case for gratitude that doesn’t depend on biblical theology.In fact, it appeals to common sense and even self interest.To put the matter bluntly: Gratitude will improve your life.Gratitude magnifies our experience of the good things in life, enabling us to enjoy them more thoroughly.Gratitude also helps us to endure the hard things in life with dignity, perhaps even with humor.Gratitude is like savoring a fine meal, enjoy every bite, rather than racing through a meal as if it’s some sort of race.Let me offer a person example of what I’m talking about here.I was able to go to college because I received generous financial aid.My father had been unemployed for several years so our family resources were limited.Harvard expected me to earn a fair amount of money through working, both during the summers and the school years.I was also required to take out a reasonable loan.But the majority of my tuition, room, and board was covered by a grant from the school.This was not a merit-based scholarship, I might add.I’m not bragging here.Harvard’s assistance was based on financial need, of which I had plenty.

感恩节文章——感恩

有人说：忘记是人的天性。当我们偶然来到这个世界上，什么都还没来的及做的时候，我们

就已经开始享受前人带给我们物质和精神上的一切成果了。这就是提醒着我们每一个人，要

怀有一颗感恩的心。

——题记

怀有一颗感恩的心，才更懂得尊重。尊重生命、尊重劳动、尊重创造。怀着感恩的心，一代伟人邓小平在古稀之年说：“我是中国人民的儿子，我深深的爱着我的祖国和人民”；

怀着感恩的心，诗人艾青在他的诗中写到：“为什么我的眼中饱含泪水，因为我对这正在行

驶的汽车的汽车为狗让路的故事吗？听说过一个人向树道歉的故事吗？这些真实的故事，感

动于人对生命的关爱，感动于人对生命的尊重。当我们每天享受着清洁的环境时，我们要感

谢那些保洁工作者”；当我们迁入新居时，我们要感谢那些建筑工人，要感谢司机„懂得感

谢，就会以平等的眼光看待每一个生命，重新看待我们身边每一个人，尊重每一份平凡普通的劳动，也更加尊重自己。

怀有一颗感恩的心，不是简单的忍耐与承受，更不是阿Q，而就以一种宽宏的心态

积极勇敢的面对人生。我相信，最温暖的日子来自寒冷，我更相信，最温暖的日子其实是对

寒冷的一种谅解，一种感恩的感动。一个人要学会感恩，对生命怀着一颗感恩的心，心才能

真正快乐。一个人没有了感恩，心就全部都是空的。“羊有跪乳之恩”，“鸦有反哺之恩”,“赠人玫瑰，手有余香”，“执子之手，与子偕老”，这些都是因怀有一颗感恩的心，才芬芳

馥郁，香泽万里。

感谢日开日落，感谢快乐伤痛，感谢天空大地，感谢天上所有的星星，感谢生活，感谢得到和失去的一切，以及无所得无所失的一切的一切，让在草长莺飞发季节里感受生命的美丽！

朋友们，让我们怀着感恩的心对待我们的生活吧！只要我们对生活充满感恩之心，充满希望与热情，我们的社会就会少一些指责与推诿，多一些宽容与理解，就会少一些争吵

与冷漠，多一些和谐与温暖，就会少一些欺瞒与涣散，多一些真诚与团结，我们的精神家园

将永远年轻。

Explore Nanjing, host of 2014

Youth Olympics

The 2014 Summer Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing are only a few days away.As the world tunes in to the international event, the host city has a chance to highlight its unique charm and fascinating history.Nanjing, capital of East China's Jiangsu province, does not see the flow of international travelers that Beijing and Shanghai do.With a blend of the modern and traditional, Nanjing has a proud history of being “the ancient capital of six dynasties”.Royal summer retreats of Chinese emperorsTaking a summer escape away from hot and stuffy air is not a modern idea.At a time when air conditioning and the refrigerator were not even a summer dream, traveling to a place for milder weather and cooler water seemed more important to people, including for the emperors.Like clockwork, many emperors would stay at a summer resort with their concubines and ministers during the hottest months each year.Here we take a look at some of the summer resorts lived by the royal families, which now can be enjoyed by ordinary people.Boeing 787 to serve Xiamen Air A Boeing 787, the first of its kind for Xiamen Air, will land at Xiamen Airport in Fujian province on Aug 31 after completing its first test flight on Aug 12 in Seattle, US.The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is the first mid-sized long-range airliner in aircraft history.As Xiamen Air’s first wide-bodied aircraft, the Boeing 787 can fly 14,232 kilometers and enable Xiamen Air to open more non-stop air routes.Xiamen Air has ordered six Boeing 787 planes.The second one will be delivered in October and the other four are scheduled for delivery next year.Xiamen Air is the third airline company in China to introduce the Boeing 787, following China Southern and Hainan airlines.Xiamen Air currently has 106 planes.The new Boeing 787 will initially be used for domestic flights and later serve international routes, as the airline hopes to expand its international service.The new plane will first fly between Fuzhou and Beijing in September, and then fly to North America and Europe after approval.

第四篇：英文感恩节专题

感恩节是要谢谁？

History

Traditionally,is a time “to give thanks” for a plentiful harvest, because it is celebrated on the last Thursday of November at the end of the harvest season.However, the history of Thanksgiving is not clear, because the harvest season is celebrated in many countries and cultures.Americans commonly celebrate the first harvest of the “pilgrims”, or the first colonists to settle in North America, in 1621.Many colonists came to the New World for religious freedom, because England did not allow diversity in religion.Native Americans and colonists did not always live together

peacefully, but they did learn from each other by trading goods and farming methods.So many people celebrate the first successful harvest of the colonists.我们最初知道“感恩节”，是老师在课堂上讲的关于“五月花号”（Mayflower）的故事。据说那时候不堪忍受英国国内宗教迫害的一群清教徒到达美洲。当时，美国的印第安人给移民送来了生活必需品，还特地派人教他们怎样狩猎、捕鱼和种植玉米、南瓜。于是，最初为了感谢美洲原住民，诞生了这么一个节日。

如今的原住民还是生活在美国各处，他们有自己的tribe，以及自己的tribal law，有些原住民也会走出自己祖先的土地和所有其他美国人一起读书，不过一眼就能看出他们和美国人长得实在相差很多，是比较接近亚洲人的长相哦。

Thankfulness

Traditionally, Thanksgiving is a religious holiday, as a time to give thanks to God for the blessings in one's life.People can be thankful for things like their good health, the safety of their families, or having good friends.All of these things are called “blessings”, or things that God has given us.For Americans who are not religious, thankfulness is just a feeling of gratitude.It is easy to forget how lucky we are, so Thanksgiving is a time to be reminded of the priceless things in our lives.Many families talk about what they are thankful for as they are sitting around the dinner table before they start the meal.一开始小编以为感恩节是用来感谢朋友，家人一年内对自己的照顾，原来人家是来感谢上帝的啊！外国朋友似乎也对于咱们的理解颇为诧异呢。

据外国朋友的描述，全家聚在一起坐在餐桌前，在正式开动之前，每个人会先说一番话来回顾自己这一年，遇到了哪些值得感谢的事情。其实有的时候，我们身边从来不缺少值得感谢的事情，怀着一颗感恩的心面对每一天，生活也会变得温暖阳光起来吧。感恩节吃啥玩啥？

Family

Thanksgiving is usually celebrated by getting together with lots of family, including grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.The meal is held in one family's home, and it is common for guests to bring drinks, snacks and desserts.Because Thanksgiving is close to Christmas, families can spend one holiday with the mother's family and the other holiday with the father's family.University students can invite boyfriends,girlfriends or friends whose families live too far away to come home with them for the holiday.感恩节大家会上哪儿聚会呢？外国朋友说，感恩节才不是用来聚会的呢，是像咱的中秋元宵一样的，全家团聚在一起吃饭的家庭大集会！在餐桌上，很多时候都能看到长得像蛋筒一样的“cornucopia”，是专门用来放水果的，非常有特色吧。

不过和咱喜欢吃一顿丰盛的晚餐不一样，美国人通常是把重头戏放在午餐的时候。下午的时候就是全家一起看看电视聊聊天，或者去家里的backyard打打橄榄球之类的家族活动啦。

Food

The first image that comes to mind when people think about Thanksgiving is a big, fat turkey.Turkeys are indeed enormous;the average Thanksgiving turkey is 15 pounds, or 6.8 kilograms.(This means that people have to eat turkey sandwiches for weeks after Thanksgiving!)The meal, often held in the late afternoon, also includes mashed potatoes with gravy, bread rolls, stuffing(which can be cooked inside the turkey), cranberry sauce, sweet corn, and other seasonal vegetables like sweet potato and green beans.For dessert, pumpkin pie is most popular, although many families enjoy other kinds of pie as well, such as apple pie, pecan pie or blueberry pie.当然啦，一说起感恩节，虎虎的脑中就浮现出一只鸵鸟大小的动物（火鸡不是鸵鸟啊！）。好想吃火鸡啊，嘴都馋了……不过说起来，为什么感恩节要吃火鸡呢？一位外国美女告诉了小编一个简单易懂的原因：因为……火鸡多……这让小编不由得想起，万圣节感恩节都吃南瓜难道也是因为南瓜多么！）

此外，火鸡在美国还被称为“Tom Turkey”哦，因为据说公火鸡的名字就叫做Tom……世上千千万万的Tom啊该是高兴还是悲哀呢。

Activities

After the meal, families relax and spend time together, sometimes watching American football games or Thanksgiving Day parades on television.Thanksgiving is also a time to volunteer or donate your time and money to charities.As people reflect on the blessings in their lives, they are inspired to help those who may be going through difficult times.Many churches and community organizations hold free dinners where people volunteer to buy, cook and serve the food.People also organize “food drives” where canned and packaged food is donated, collected and given to those in need.Also, companies and organizations can hold charity events, where employees, friends

and families can pay to attend a dinner or dance and all of the money is donated to a charity.说起为何感恩节的聚餐会选择放在中午，外国朋友告诉小编说，因为这时候正好是美国的football season啦，所以吃完午饭全家会坐在电视机前一起看球赛。

此外，在感恩节这天，很多教堂会组织聚会，志愿者们会准备烹饪食物，即使是那些并没有宗教信仰的人，或者任何由于经济原因没有办法欢度节日的人，都可以来到教堂，和所有人济济一堂共度这个节日哦。如此一来“志愿者”就是非常重要的一个组成部分了。在美国，如果你说自己没有参加过志愿者活动的话，人家可能会偷偷地用BS的眼神看着你说“啊，这样啊。”

最后要说的就是募捐（donation）啦，虽然在平时也会有各种募捐活动，但是感恩节这一天会格外地热闹呢。对于美国人来说，“thanksgiving”，相较于“thanks”，它的意义更大的是在“giving”上面。
