第一篇：感恩節(jié)文章(英文)

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.

感恩節(jié)文章——感恩

有人說：忘記是人的天性。當(dāng)我們偶然來到這個(gè)世界上，什么都還沒來的及做的時(shí)候，我們

就已經(jīng)開始享受前人帶給我們物質(zhì)和精神上的一切成果了。這就是提醒著我們每一個(gè)人，要

懷有一顆感恩的心。

——題記

懷有一顆感恩的心，才更懂得尊重。尊重生命、尊重勞動(dòng)、尊重創(chuàng)造。懷著感恩的心，一代偉人鄧小平在古稀之年說：“我是中國(guó)人民的兒子，我深深的愛著我的祖國(guó)和人民”；

懷著感恩的心，詩(shī)人艾青在他的詩(shī)中寫到：“為什么我的眼中飽含淚水，因?yàn)槲覍?duì)這正在行

駛的汽車的汽車為狗讓路的故事嗎？聽說過一個(gè)人向樹道歉的故事嗎？這些真實(shí)的故事，感

動(dòng)于人對(duì)生命的關(guān)愛，感動(dòng)于人對(duì)生命的尊重。當(dāng)我們每天享受著清潔的環(huán)境時(shí)，我們要感

謝那些保潔工作者”；當(dāng)我們遷入新居時(shí)，我們要感謝那些建筑工人，要感謝司機(jī)?懂得感

謝，就會(huì)以平等的眼光看待每一個(gè)生命，重新看待我們身邊每一個(gè)人，尊重每一份平凡普通的勞動(dòng)，也更加尊重自己。

懷有一顆感恩的心，不是簡(jiǎn)單的忍耐與承受，更不是阿Q，而就以一種寬宏的心態(tài)

積極勇敢的面對(duì)人生。我相信，最溫暖的日子來自寒冷，我更相信，最溫暖的日子其實(shí)是對(duì)

寒冷的一種諒解，一種感恩的感動(dòng)。一個(gè)人要學(xué)會(huì)感恩，對(duì)生命懷著一顆感恩的心，心才能

真正快樂。一個(gè)人沒有了感恩，心就全部都是空的?！把蛴泄蛉橹鳌?，“鴉有反哺之恩”,“贈(zèng)人玫瑰，手有余香”，“執(zhí)子之手，與子偕老”，這些都是因懷有一顆感恩的心，才芬芳

馥郁，香澤萬里。

感謝日開日落，感謝快樂傷痛，感謝天空大地，感謝天上所有的星星，感謝生活，感謝得到和失去的一切，以及無所得無所失的一切的一切，讓在草長(zhǎng)鶯飛發(fā)季節(jié)里感受生命的美麗！

朋友們，讓我們懷著感恩的心對(duì)待我們的生活吧！只要我們對(duì)生活充滿感恩之心，充滿希望與熱情，我們的社會(huì)就會(huì)少一些指責(zé)與推諉，多一些寬容與理解，就會(huì)少一些爭(zhēng)吵

與冷漠，多一些和諧與溫暖，就會(huì)少一些欺瞞與渙散，多一些真誠(chéng)與團(tuán)結(jié)，我們的精神家園

將永遠(yuǎn)年輕。

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：英文感恩節(jié)專題

感恩節(jié)是要謝誰？

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.我們最初知道“感恩節(jié)”，是老師在課堂上講的關(guān)于“五月花號(hào)”（Mayflower）的故事。據(jù)說那時(shí)候不堪忍受英國(guó)國(guó)內(nèi)宗教迫害的一群清教徒到達(dá)美洲。當(dāng)時(shí)，美國(guó)的印第安人給移民送來了生活必需品，還特地派人教他們?cè)鯓俞鳙C、捕魚和種植玉米、南瓜。于是，最初為了感謝美洲原住民，誕生了這么一個(gè)節(jié)日。

如今的原住民還是生活在美國(guó)各處，他們有自己的tribe，以及自己的tribal law，有些原住民也會(huì)走出自己祖先的土地和所有其他美國(guó)人一起讀書，不過一眼就能看出他們和美國(guó)人長(zhǎng)得實(shí)在相差很多，是比較接近亞洲人的長(zhǎng)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.一開始小編以為感恩節(jié)是用來感謝朋友，家人一年內(nèi)對(duì)自己的照顧，原來人家是來感謝上帝的啊！外國(guó)朋友似乎也對(duì)于咱們的理解頗為詫異呢。

據(jù)外國(guó)朋友的描述，全家聚在一起坐在餐桌前，在正式開動(dòng)之前，每個(gè)人會(huì)先說一番話來回顧自己這一年，遇到了哪些值得感謝的事情。其實(shí)有的時(shí)候，我們身邊從來不缺少值得感謝的事情，懷著一顆感恩的心面對(duì)每一天，生活也會(huì)變得溫暖陽(yáng)光起來吧。感恩節(jié)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.感恩節(jié)大家會(huì)上哪兒聚會(huì)呢？外國(guó)朋友說，感恩節(jié)才不是用來聚會(huì)的呢，是像咱的中秋元宵一樣的，全家團(tuán)聚在一起吃飯的家庭大集會(huì)！在餐桌上，很多時(shí)候都能看到長(zhǎng)得像蛋筒一樣的“cornucopia”，是專門用來放水果的，非常有特色吧。

不過和咱喜歡吃一頓豐盛的晚餐不一樣，美國(guó)人通常是把重頭戲放在午餐的時(shí)候。下午的時(shí)候就是全家一起看看電視聊聊天，或者去家里的backyard打打橄欖球之類的家族活動(dòng)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.當(dāng)然啦，一說起感恩節(jié)，虎虎的腦中就浮現(xiàn)出一只鴕鳥大小的動(dòng)物（火雞不是鴕鳥啊?。：孟氤曰痣u啊，嘴都饞了……不過說起來，為什么感恩節(jié)要吃火雞呢？一位外國(guó)美女告訴了小編一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單易懂的原因：因?yàn)椤痣u多……這讓小編不由得想起，萬圣節(jié)感恩節(jié)都吃南瓜難道也是因?yàn)槟瞎隙嗝矗。?/p>

此外，火雞在美國(guó)還被稱為“Tom Turkey”哦，因?yàn)閾?jù)說公火雞的名字就叫做Tom……世上千千萬萬的Tom啊該是高興還是悲哀呢。

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.說起為何感恩節(jié)的聚餐會(huì)選擇放在中午，外國(guó)朋友告訴小編說，因?yàn)檫@時(shí)候正好是美國(guó)的football season啦，所以吃完午飯全家會(huì)坐在電視機(jī)前一起看球賽。

此外，在感恩節(jié)這天，很多教堂會(huì)組織聚會(huì)，志愿者們會(huì)準(zhǔn)備烹飪食物，即使是那些并沒有宗教信仰的人，或者任何由于經(jīng)濟(jì)原因沒有辦法歡度節(jié)日的人，都可以來到教堂，和所有人濟(jì)濟(jì)一堂共度這個(gè)節(jié)日哦。如此一來“志愿者”就是非常重要的一個(gè)組成部分了。在美國(guó)，如果你說自己沒有參加過志愿者活動(dòng)的話，人家可能會(huì)偷偷地用BS的眼神看著你說“啊，這樣啊?！?/p>

最后要說的就是募捐（donation）啦，雖然在平時(shí)也會(huì)有各種募捐活動(dòng)，但是感恩節(jié)這一天會(huì)格外地?zé)狒[呢。對(duì)于美國(guó)人來說，“thanksgiving”，相較于“thanks”，它的意義更大的是在“giving”上面。
