Independence Day,commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain.During the American Revolution（美国独立战争）, the legal separation of the Thirteen Colonies from Great Britain occurred on July 2, 1776, when the Second Continental Congress voted to approve a resolution of independence.After voting for independence, Congress turned its attention to the Declaration of Independence, a statement explaining this decision, which had been prepared by a Committee of Five(五人小组), with Thomas Jefferson as its principal author.Congress debated and revised（修正）the Declaration, finally approving it on July 4.From then on, American celebrated the birthday of their homeland every year by a variety of ways.In the beginning, people will held demonstrations and speeches in this special day and most of these activities were covered with a layer of religious color.With the development of America, outdoor activities and sports events also became a part of celebration.Fireworks activities were once very popular before 20th century, but government canceled these projects to prevent the risk of fire after 20th century.Nowadays, Independence Day in the United States is a fairly important festival.People will have a day off to relax.All of american church bells rang in honor of American Independence after the ringing of Liberty Bell in Philadelphia.Various floats, model cars, acrobatics car and crowd line up a enormous and powerful team to go forward which is a very spectacular sight.At the end of the procession, people tend to gather in a park or public place.All the families dance and cheer, or have a picnic in sound of music.Businessmen are busy selling souvenirs, the politicians take the opportunity to conduct campaign speeches, the kids play games on the grass, the entire United States show the joyful scene of festival.That's all.Thank you!

第二篇：美国独立日中英简介

美国独立日（Independence Day）是美国的主要法定节日之一，日期为每年7月4日，以纪念1776年7月4日大陆会议在费城正式通过《独立宣言》。这一天会首先敲响费城的自由钟，各地居民自发地进行庆祝游行，政客会发表演说以颂扬美国传统的自由观念。从15世纪末起，英国移民。17世纪到18世纪前半期，英国在北美大西洋沿岸建立了13个殖民地，并加强了对殖民地人民的压迫和剥削，激起了当地人民和新兴资产阶级的反抗。1775年，北美13个殖民地的人民开始掀起推翻英国殖民统治的独立战争，组成了“大陆军”，由华盛顿任总司令。1776年7月4日，殖民地代表在费城召开了第二次大陆会议，通过了《独立宣言》，正式宣布建立美利坚合众国。

《独立宣言》是英属北美殖民地人民宣告独立的纲领性文件。《独立宣言》向全世界宣告：“联合一致的殖民地从此是自由和独立的国家”。《独立宣言》的起草人是资产阶级民主派人士托马斯·杰斐逊。来自各殖民地的56位代表在《宣言》上签了字。宣言的标题是《美利坚十三国联合邦的一致宣言》。《宣言》全文约2500字，分三个部分。第一部分阐明资产阶级革命的基本原则，提出了著名的人权原则，《宣言》指出：“人类生而平等，造物者赋予他们若干不可剥夺的权利，其中包括生命权、自由权和追求幸福的权利”。第二部分谴责英国殖民当局的种种暴政。第三部分宣告13个殖民地独立，建立独立国家，断绝与英国的一切政治关系。《独立宣言》反映了北美殖民地人民争取自由独立的愿望，激发了美国人民的自信心和自豪感，极大地鼓舞了各阶层群众奋起参加独立战争。《独立宣言》对争取各国人民的同情和支持，推动后来的欧洲资产阶级革命，特别是法国大革命及法国的《人权宣言》都产生了积极的影响。

《独立宣言》发表以后第5年的9月，英国军队主力在约克镇被击溃，被迫同美国讲和，并于1783年签订《巴黎和约》，正式承认13个殖民地脱离英国独立。美洲出现了第一个资产阶级共和国。后来，7月4日被定为美国国庆日。每年的这一天，在美国各地都举行隆重的盛典，进行歌舞、体育、游行等活动。早期的独立日庆祝活动主要是游行和演讲，有时还带有一定的宗教色彩，以后增加了体育比赛等户外活动。有一个时期，美国人民燃放鞭炮、烟火庆贺国庆，20世纪以后，政府为防止发生人身事故和火灾明令取消了这种形式。每年的独立日这一天，全美大小教堂钟声齐鸣，而头一个敲响的是费城的自由钟。

城，召开所谓第一次大陆会议，希望能寻出一条合理的途径，与英国和平解决问题，然而英王却坚持殖民地必须无条件臣服于英王并接受处分。

第三篇：美国奴隶制起源-讲稿

The Beginning of Slavery in America 美国奴隶制起源

Hello, everyone!It is known that racial discrimination against the black people is an old problem in America which can be traced back to the colonial period.It was the dispute over Negro slavery that touched off the American Civil War in 1862.Slavery developed almost side by side with the English-American colonies.After the colonists reached the New World, they found that one of the problems to be solved was the shortage of labor.The first blacks were brought into the colonies in 1619.Within a few decades, the demand for cheap labor led to a large slave trade.After tobacco was successfully planted and more rich people arrived in the colonies, especially in the South, the problem of labor shortage became acute.European adventurers began to capture Negroes in Western Africa and transported them to America.The slave traders, many of whom were from New England, made a big profit from what was called the triangular trade between Europe, Africa and America.Plantation owners of the South got the cheap labor they needed.The number of Negro slaves increased very quickly before America won its independence.After the Independence War, Britain shifted much of its trade to other colonies.The price of tobacco fell sharply in America.Slave labor became less profitable and began to decline.Before long, America began its industrial revolution and the cotton gin was invented in 1793.The revolutionized cotton textile industry increased the demand for cotton.To increase the production of cotton, cheap labor was needed.As a result, the number of Negro slaves stopped falling and black slavery revived.Since the South had abundant and suitable land for farming and thus needed a lot labor, many slaves were bought by those plantationers.Moreover, the Blacks cannot endure the bitter cold in the North.That is why large numbers of blacks were in the South.By 1860, there were about 3 million Negro slaves in the South who made up about one-third of the total population of the South.Before the Civil War, more than 98% of the American Negroes were in the South.An average Southern plantation was about 1000 acres with 100 slaves.They fed on horrible food which was made in the central kitchen or in the black slaves’ cabins.They had to toil all day long in the cotton fields, eating their noon-day meals in the fields.Black slaves were supervised by the cold-blooded overseers.Slave owners could beat, sell, or kill a slave without violating the law.Negro families were often broken when the master sold some of his slaves.Marriage of the slaves were regarded by the slave owner as a means to produce more slaves.A slave owner could buy a man slave and marry him to a woman slave or vice versa.No slave was allowed to go out his master’ plantation unless he had obtained a written permission from his master.There were professional slave captors who would hunt down any slave in escape.The law did not allow anyone to teach the blacks how to read and write.It is no exaggeration to say that the Negro slaves were treated as farm animals.The only difference was that they could think and speak.If you want to know more about the miserable life of slaves, you can read Mrs.Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin or Solomon Northup’s 12 Years A Slave.The conflicts between the South and the North concerning slavery led to the American Civil War.We’re going to discuss that next session.Thank you.

第四篇：美国感恩节的起源

The origin of American Thanksgiving

As is known to us, the Thanksgiving is one of the most crucial festivals in the United States and Canada’s.However, the historical origins of the festivals in the both countries are different from each other.Here I’d like to introduce something about the origin of American Thanksgiving.In 1620,the boat called “may flower” arrived in North America from Britain, carrying 102 pilgrims.Unfortunately, in the winter of this year, they encountered unimaginable difficulties, half of them dyingof hunger.Luckily, the native Indians provided pilgrims with the necessities in time.What’s more, they were so kind that they even taught pilgrims how to hunt, fish and plant corn,pumpkin.With the help of the Indians,the immigrants finally overcame the difficulties and received a harvest.During the days of harvest celebration, according to religious traditions , immigrants rules the day of thanksgiving to god, and decided to show their gratitude to Indians.Immigrants invited them to celebrate the festival.In this day of the first Thanksgiving, immigrants and the Indians got together,chatting and eating happily.Immigrants were so grateful to god that they set off fireworks, held a grand banquet and enjoyed delicious turkeys.The first thanksgiving day was very successful.As a result,a lot of these celebration ways remained for many years.In 1789, the first American president Washington declared November,26was the national Thanksgiving celebration.However, for a long time, every state holiday date still stipulated based on their own situation.It was not until 1863 that president Lincoln declared Thanksgiving day was a national holiday again.In 1941, Congress passed bill, the president Roosevelt declared the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving day throughout the country.Nowadays Thanksgiving holiday usually lasts form Thursday to Sunday.In western countries,it is time for people to express gratitude and share love.Besides,thanksgiving day is a wonderful feast for children in which children can enjoy excellent snacks.Generally, the thanksgiving day plays an very important role in today’s Americans’ life.

美国独立日自由集会精彩演讲

本文由拥有十六年美国律所背景的兆龙移民整理

7月1日晚，美国总统川普来到肯尼迪艺术中心，出席“自由集会”并演讲，庆祝即将到来的美国独立日。川普说：“美国人民崇拜神，而不是政府。正如二战时期的美国将军巴顿，他在最艰难的时刻，祈祷的是神的救助。”

川普登上集会讲台后，在场观众报以热烈的掌声向他致意。川普说：“我十分荣幸能参加在这里首次举行的‘独立日自由集会’。首先我们要向无私的、为国家默默付出的美国军人和执法员致敬。今晚，场内的音乐在我们心中激荡，它提醒我们所有人：我们是谁？我们是生活在神的护佑下的子民，拥有同一个不可分割的国度。

兆龙移民 www.zhaolong.net

“我想对在场的数百位退役军人说，作为总统，这是我首次参加独立日庆典活动。在这样的时刻，我最想做的就是和你们在一起。

“我正在兑现向你们许下的诺言。正如你所见，不久前我签署了‘为退伍军人提供服务的问责制’法案（Ensuring VA Employee Accountability Act）。这是过去40年中，美国往届政府希望却没有做到的事。如今，我们完成了这项工作。未来，如果有政府官员不能向退役老兵提供及时和有效的服务时，我们可以对他说── ‘你被解雇了！’

“我们向老兵们保证，我们将永远照顾好你们，请放心。

“你们不仅用语言表达对国家的效忠，更以实际行动、你们的勇敢与不怕牺牲的精神，兑现你们对伟大美国的效忠。你们在一次次任务中，让美国取得胜利。因此，我们一定不会忘记你们，我们会照料好你们。“美国军人的故事是与自由相关的故事，是正义战胜邪恶的故事，是惩恶扬善的故事，是抵抗对民主与自由镇压的故事。我告诉各位，这世界存在太多的邪恶因素，我正在清理这个烂摊子，你们瞧着吧！

“今天，我们在向美国军人致敬的同时，也联想到令美国人自豪的价值观：我们爱国家、爱家人、爱自由，我们爱护佑我们的神。

“241年前，美国先父们在签署《独立宣言》时写道：美国人将永远记得，人权神授，我们的自由来自于造物主，任何外力都无法夺走它们。

“这就是为什么我的政府要把权力从华盛顿，带回给它原本的主人── 你们，美国人民。

“制造假新闻的媒体不断想诋毁我们，但我们不会屈服，因为人民了解真相。假新闻媒体想阻止我们走进白宫，但我当选了美国总统，他们没有。我们步步都赢了，他们一直在输。

“事实是这些假新闻媒体把自己给毁了，因为他们做得太过分。本应该让自己的新闻报导准确而优质，他们却制造假新闻，但这些不诚实的媒体永远不能阻止我们和美国人民达到既定的目标。我会继续为你们而工作和争取权利。

“我已经为美国人在贸易、经济、最高法院、第二修正案、军事、退役军人服务和边境等方方面面取得了前所未有的成绩。而且，我们正在为警员和执法者的工作提供全力的支持。” 川普在演讲中，许多观众多次起立鼓掌，向他致意。

川普接着说：“我们将保护美国人的生命安全、美国的领土主权。我们还将确保那些曾被政府忽视的美国人不会再被轻视。

“长期以来，政客们将核心权力锁定在华府为数不多的个别人手中，我看到这样的事一遍遍重演。官僚者认为，他们可以掌握你们的生活，控制你们的价值观，告诉你该怎样生活、该怎样讲话、到哪里做祈祷。然而我们知道，只有父母，而不是官僚机构，才最了解如何养育好自己的孩子；只有人民才知道如何造就充满活力的社会环境。

“我们也知道是家庭和教堂，而不是政府官员，才了解如何搭建一个充满关爱的社区环境。“同时，最重要的是我们相信，美国人崇拜的不是政府，而是神。

“我们信仰自由的权利被写进《宪法》第一修正案。在《独立宣言》中，美国国父们多次提到‘神’。富兰克林（《独立宣言》和美国《宪法》的起草人之一）在《宪法》大会上做的第一件事就是低下头，向神做祈祷。在此，我提醒各位，我们将重新开始互致‘圣诞快乐’的问候！

“在美元纸币上，也清楚地印有这几个字‘我们信仰神’（In God We Trust）。

“神不仅赐予我们自由，还把许多英雄人物赐予我们，保卫我们拥有的这份自由，其中之一的就是二战时期的美国将军巴顿。

“当巴顿将军在战事中遇到无法逾越的艰险时，他知道自己该做什么── 他去祈祷，求助神的力量和帮助。1944年12月就在著名的亚尔丁突围战打响前夕，巴顿遇到极为恶劣的风雪天气，使部队的前进计划严重受阻。巴顿采取的行动就是祈祷和向神求助。他将祈祷词印制了数万份，发给每一位士兵，要求他们专心祈祷，求助神帮助他们摆脱恶劣天气的困扰。（据史料记载，巴顿和士兵的祈祷带来了奇迹。隔天，当地的气候转晴，风雪停止，被困多日的巴顿部队得以继续前进，最终抵达目的地。）

川普说：“在场的观众中就有参加过这次战役的二战老兵米勒（Harry F Miller）。明天他将迎来自己的89岁生日。让我们祝福他，向他致敬。

“我的政府将永远保护美国人的信仰自由。如果在足球赛事前，人们想祈祷，他们就可以做祈祷。我们还希望孩子们懂得，有神在祝福他们。我们不希望看到政府官员说，宗教领袖或教会成员不能公开地自由宣讲（政治话题），因为他们也拥有受《宪法》保护的言论自由。”

川普在最后说：“各位，我不会让你们失望！谢谢你们！祝你们独立日假期快乐！神保佑你们，保佑美利坚合众国！”
