第一篇：感恩節(jié)(中英文)

感恩節(jié)（Thanksgiving Day），美國印第安人，后來人們常在這一天第四個(gè)星期四，在這一天起將休11月22－28日之間，感恩節(jié)是美的感恩節(jié)則起始于1879年，是在同。11月的第四個(gè)星期四是感恩節(jié)。感恩節(jié)是美是美國人合家歡聚的節(jié)日，因此美國人提起感恩國定假日中最地道、最美國式的節(jié)日(holiday)，它1620年，一些朝拜者乘坐“五月花”號(hào)船去顛簸了兩個(gè)月之后，終于在酷寒的十一月里，在陸。在第一個(gè)冬天，半數(shù)以上的移民都死于(die)第一個(gè)春季即1621年開始播種。整個(gè)夏天(summer)來，他們深知自己的生存以及殖民地的存在都將(finally)，莊稼獲得了意外的豐收，為了感謝上帝活動(dòng)。從此，這一習(xí)俗就沿續(xù)下來，并逐漸風(fēng)行布每年十一月的第四個(gè)星期四為感恩節(jié)。感恩節(jié)今。屆時(shí)，家家團(tuán)聚，舉國同慶，其盛大、熱烈感恩節(jié)慶祝模式許多年來從未改變。豐盛的準(zhǔn)備。人們在餐桌上可以吃到蘋果、桔子、栗子丁、碎肉餡餅、各種其他食物以及紅莓苔汁和鮮菜是烤火雞(roastturkey)和南瓜餡餅(pumpkinpie)，這些最受人喜愛的食品(food)。人人都贊成感恩節(jié)大餐必需以烤火雞為主菜以吸收從中流出來的美味汁液，但烹飪技術(shù)常因什么填料也就很難求得一致。另外，加拿大的感恩節(jié)是在十月的第二個(gè)星特殊節(jié)日 沒有恩人的感恩節(jié)感恩節(jié)是美國加拿大獨(dú)有的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日，在感民歷史。首批歐洲移民從英國普利茅斯出發(fā)，乘冬到達(dá)北美洲（后來他們把這個(gè)登陸點(diǎn)也命名為當(dāng)時(shí)適逢大雪覆蓋原野，寒冷饑餓令移民陷安人發(fā)現(xiàn)他們，并且給與慷慨援助，才絕處逢生火雞宴，和印第安人舉杯同慶，歡宴持續(xù)三天三但是人們不知道，那個(gè)純樸好客的部落就是個(gè)古道熱腸的印第安人酋長就是菲力浦王的父親1618年北美洲東岸遭受到傳染病“天花”的村落荒蕪。酋長樂意讓這些遠(yuǎn)方的來客到這些遺好聯(lián)盟。這種兄弟情誼持續(xù)了近50年。歐洲移民每年以3%的增長向北美大陸擴(kuò)張，2000名移民。移民反賓為主。并以自己的文化發(fā)視輕蔑心理。一些商人在與古樸的土著族交往中益，讓印第安人對(duì)白人日漸失去信任。最初時(shí)期，對(duì)于印第安人的慷慨，殖民者會(huì)成你不“Giving”，我就要設(shè)法“Taking”。菲力浦王之的沖突，在沒有土地所有權(quán)也就沒有開發(fā)利用權(quán)和維護(hù)土地所有權(quán)的戰(zhàn)爭。北美洲的歷史，似乎在揭示這樣一個(gè)冷酷的的開發(fā)方式、能夠創(chuàng)造更大的社會(huì)財(cái)富，那么最行。文化傳統(tǒng)、土地所有權(quán)、宗教法律、人倫道運(yùn)行。盡管印第安人是美洲大地最古老的居民，是試圖維護(hù)低效的、傳統(tǒng)的土地利用方式，總歸要式，就以野蠻的方式。遺憾的是它以非常野蠻的土地所有權(quán)，又葬送了不少族人的性命，失敗的當(dāng)然，有人把菲力浦王之戰(zhàn)看成印第安文化教文明；有人把它看成是白人和土著的種族戰(zhàn)爭從中找到殖民主義擴(kuò)張的罪惡證據(jù)，證明反對(duì)殖戰(zhàn)爭中發(fā)生的嚴(yán)重摧殘人權(quán)的行為，來揭露今天至白人至上主義者也可以從中找到有色人種愚昧族優(yōu)越論??凡此等等，都是各取所愛，試圖從天。集體慶祝初時(shí)感恩節(jié)沒有固定日期，由各州臨時(shí)決定為全國性的節(jié)日。每逢感恩節(jié)這一天，美國舉國上下熱鬧非常恩祈禱，城市鄉(xiāng)鎮(zhèn)到處都有化裝游行、戲劇表演人們也會(huì)從天南海北歸來，一家人團(tuán)圓，品嘗以美國當(dāng)?shù)刈钪膽c典則是從1924年開始的Thanksgiving Day Parade）。每逢感恩節(jié)這一天，美國舉國上下熱鬧非凡祈禱，城鄉(xiāng)市鎮(zhèn)到處舉行化裝游行、戲劇表演和規(guī)定放假休息。孩子們還模仿當(dāng)年印第安人的模譜或戴上面具到街上唱歌、吹喇叭。散居在他鄉(xiāng)Thanksgiving Day 和加拿大節(jié)日，由感謝他人。自1941假兩天，都要和自國國定假日中最地每年10月第二個(gè)星國節(jié)和美現(xiàn)美年己道期人總早洲在國起的、一民是期尋的首，家最，獨(dú)備美求馬創(chuàng)感人美與創(chuàng)感國宗莎的恩團(tuán)國美的親歷教塞病地到，年定亞個(gè)萄最恩，節(jié)聚式國一切史自州，盼來舉，在于月，妙節(jié)原是，的的個(gè)。最由的活望的行美這中之還和中意在感節(jié)哥古感為。普下著收了國一國前有最最是每恩日倫老恩密他里來豐成3總天人就葡吸富為年節(jié)，布節(jié)節(jié)切們茅的收。天統(tǒng)，過開萄引于了11在加日日是相在斯人的最的林直春始干人傳感謝月的每年拿大相，美關(guān)海登們到后狂肯到節(jié)著布的統(tǒng)也國。上在歡宣如。手大和饑餓和傳染他們都熱切取決于即將賜予的豐收各地。1863慶祝活動(dòng)便的情形，不家宴早在幾、胡桃和葡果汁，其中菜一直是感。火雞在烘烤時(shí)要以面包作填料家庭和地區(qū)的不同而各異，應(yīng)用期一。恩坐普入。夜萬－襲棄節(jié)，許多人會(huì)滿懷溫情回顧五月花號(hào)歷經(jīng)艱險(xiǎn)，在1620利茅斯）。絕境，一些人死去。幸虧印第二年新移民得到豐收，大??帕諾亞（Wampanoag）部落,－邁斯色以（Massasoit）。擊，大批土著居民死亡，一的村落安身，并與他們結(jié)為移年第擺那些友1676年，新英格蘭地區(qū)已有5，達(dá)先進(jìn)為傲，對(duì)印第安人存有歧，常常采用哄騙的手段謀取利說：“Thanks Giving”；到后來，演變戰(zhàn)根源，在于開發(fā)利用土地資源的實(shí)際情況下，轉(zhuǎn)變成一場爭奪規(guī)律：如果一塊土地存在更有效終這塊土地會(huì)依這種開發(fā)方式進(jìn)德等等都不能制止這種潛規(guī)律的這失方苦和，民美落萬塊敗式澀歐意主國后花土的表，洲在義高的園地。現(xiàn)不文激的舉大里最這：堪化發(fā)正人量采原種印回之民義權(quán)例一始失第味戰(zhàn)族性旗子瓣的主人敗不以安人不。，傾向主義情；還有幟的虛，以支顏色，但是要文明的方僅丟失了樹緒的偽援代立；以性白表基有這；人春督人場甚種，直到美國獨(dú)立后，感恩節(jié)才成，或“梅，體樣外基體火西人育穿地督育雞百們比上的徒比”貨按賽離家按賽為感照等奇人照等主恩習(xí)，古也習(xí)。的節(jié)俗學(xué)怪會(huì)俗分感游前校的回前別恩行往和服家往了節(jié)（教商裝過教堂做感一年的親美食。Macy's 堂店，節(jié)做也畫，感都上一恩按臉家

人團(tuán)團(tuán)圍坐在一起，大嚼美味火說：“謝謝！”。感恩節(jié)后，學(xué)校會(huì)讓同學(xué)們畫一張感恩節(jié)的畫畫的是火雞。同時(shí)，好客的美國人也忘不友、單身漢或遠(yuǎn)離家鄉(xiāng)的人共度佳節(jié)。從１８世紀(jì)起，美國就開窮人家送一籃子食物的風(fēng)俗。當(dāng)時(shí)有一群年輕婦女想在一年中選，認(rèn)為選定感恩節(jié)是最恰當(dāng)不過的。所以感恩節(jié)一到，她們就裝親自送到窮人家。這件事遠(yuǎn)近傳聞，不久就有許多人學(xué)著她們的管遇到誰，他們都會(huì)說：“Thank you！”節(jié)日購物感恩節(jié)購物已經(jīng)成為了美國人的習(xí)俗。從感恩節(jié)到圣誕節(jié)這一個(gè)月，美國零售業(yè)總銷售額能占到全年的1/3強(qiáng)，是各個(gè)商家傳統(tǒng)的打折促銷旺季。瘋狂的購物月從感恩節(jié)的次日（星期五）開始，這一天即被稱為Black Friday（黑色星期五）。之所以叫這個(gè)名字，據(jù)說是因?yàn)橹芪暹@天一大早，所有人都要摸著黑沖到商場排隊(duì)買便宜貨，這種行為有個(gè)非常形象的說法，叫Early Bird（早起的鳥兒）。在外國“感恩節(jié)”和中國的春節(jié)一樣重要！每年一度的總統(tǒng)放生火雞儀式始于1947年杜魯門總統(tǒng)當(dāng)政時(shí)期，但實(shí)際上這個(gè)傳統(tǒng)儀式可以追溯到美國內(nèi)戰(zhàn)林肯總統(tǒng)當(dāng)政的時(shí)期。1863年的一天，林肯的兒子泰德突然闖入內(nèi)閣會(huì)議請(qǐng)求赦免一只名叫杰克的寵物火雞，因?yàn)檫@只被送進(jìn)白宮的火雞，即將成為人們的感恩節(jié)大餐。2006年11月22日，布什在白宮玫瑰花園舉行感恩節(jié)放生儀式上，特赦了一只名叫“飛鳥”的火雞。美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬25號(hào)特赦感恩節(jié)火雞．并將火雞被命名為“勇氣”。這也是他上任以來，首次特赦火雞．奧巴馬并對(duì)保護(hù)美國人民身家安全的英勇戰(zhàn)士表示感恩。每年11月的第4個(gè)星期四是美國感恩節(jié)。在女兒薩莎和瑪麗亞的陪伴下，奧巴馬特赦了本來要用做盤中餐的火雞．奧巴馬說，我原本打算吃掉這只火雞。由于薩莎和瑪麗亞的干預(yù)，我赦免了“勇氣”。這只火雞將被送到迪士尼樂園。為防止意外，當(dāng)局還準(zhǔn)備了一只備用火雞，名叫“卡羅琳娜”。編輯本段節(jié)日食物 節(jié)日菜譜包括：Cornbread英國奶酪派，奶酪對(duì)英國人很重要。Venison鴨和鵝，英國人捕的。Wild Turkey大蒜和洋蔥。Pumpkin Pudding印地安布丁。Salad-沙拉。感恩節(jié)的食品極富傳統(tǒng)色彩。每逢感恩節(jié)，美國人必有肥嫩的火雞可吃。火雞是感恩節(jié)的傳統(tǒng)主菜。它原是棲息于北美洲的野禽，后經(jīng)人們大批飼養(yǎng)，成為美味家禽，每只可重達(dá)四五十磅。現(xiàn)在仍有些地方設(shè)有獵場，專供人們在感恩節(jié)前射獵，有興趣的人到獵場花些錢，就能親自打上幾只野火雞回家。使節(jié)日更富有情趣。火雞吃法也有一定講究。端上桌后，由男主人用刀切成薄片分給大家。然后由各人自己澆上鹵汁，灑上鹽，味道十分鮮美。感恩節(jié)的食物除火雞外，還有紅莓苔子果醬、甜山芋、玉蜀黍、南瓜餅、沙拉自己烘烤的面包及各種蔬菜和水果等。這些東西都是感恩節(jié)的傳統(tǒng)食品。餐桌布置也很有特色。主婦們不是照往常一樣擺放鮮花，而是擺放水果和蔬菜。中間還常常放上一個(gè)大南瓜，周圍堆放些蘋果、玉米和干果。有時(shí)人們還把蘋果或南瓜掏空，中間放滿去殼的干果或者點(diǎn)燃蠟燭。平時(shí)，女主人可以在飯后把客人請(qǐng)到客廳里，但在感恩節(jié)卻不這樣做。感恩節(jié)的聚餐是甜美的，每個(gè)人都愿意在飯桌旁多呆一會(huì)兒，他們一邊吃一邊愉快地回憶往事，直到最后一根蠟燭燃盡，他們才離開那可愛的餐桌。美國人吃火雞時(shí)多數(shù)是燜烤。通常是把火雞肚子里塞上各種調(diào)料和拌好的食品，然后用燒烤袋包好，整只烤出。傳統(tǒng)的感恩節(jié)大餐包括了烤火雞，有些家庭是以烤鵝來替代火雞；還有塞在火雞內(nèi)部的填充佐料Stuffing，是用撕成碎片的玉米面包(CornBread)、白面包和芹菜等等做成的；除此之外還有用火雞內(nèi)臟煮成的濃稠淋汁(Gravy)。另外還有一樣特別的醬汁－小紅莓調(diào)味醬汁(CranberrySauce)，用的就是每年九月和十月時(shí)盛產(chǎn)的小紅莓。其它的配菜還包括烤洋芋泥、烤紅薯泥、青豆和比司吉等等。最后的甜點(diǎn)當(dāng)然有應(yīng)景的南瓜派，也可以準(zhǔn)備核桃派或蘋果派。火雞來歷為什么要在感恩節(jié)都食火雞呢。這要從感恩節(jié)的由來說起。1620年，英國一批主張改革的清教徒，因理想和抱負(fù)不能實(shí)現(xiàn)而退出國教，自立新教，此舉激起了英國當(dāng)政者的仇恨。這些清教徒們不堪承受統(tǒng)治者的迫害和歧視，先逃到荷蘭，9月初，乘船遠(yuǎn)渡重洋，準(zhǔn)備流亡美國。船在波濤洶涌的大海中漂泊了65天，于11月終于到達(dá)了美國東海岸，在羅得島州的普羅維斯敦港登陸。當(dāng)時(shí)，此處還是一片荒涼未開墾的處女地，火雞和其他野生動(dòng)物隨處可見。時(shí)值寒冬，來到陌生的地方，缺衣少食，惡劣的環(huán)境正在威脅著他們的生命。在這生死攸關(guān)的時(shí)刻，當(dāng)?shù)氐挠〉诎踩藶樗麄儙チ耸澄铩⑸钣闷泛蜕a(chǎn)工具，并幫助他們建立了自己的新家園。這些英國人在安頓好新家以后，為感謝在危難之時(shí)幫助、支援過他們的印第安人，同時(shí)也感謝上帝對(duì)他們的“恩賜”，是年11月第四星期四，將獵獲的火雞制成美味佳肴，盛情款待印第安人，并與他們進(jìn)行聯(lián)歡，慶祝活動(dòng)持續(xù)了三天。此后，每年11月第四個(gè)星期四都要舉行這樣的慶祝活動(dòng)，除招待印第安人食烤火雞外，并在一起瘵辦射箭、跑步、摔跤等體育競賽，夜晚還圍著篝火盡情歌舞，共享歡樂。Thanksgiving Day 雞，并且對(duì)家人，大部分學(xué)生都掉這一天邀請(qǐng)好始出現(xiàn)一種給貧一天專門做善事上滿滿一籃食物樣子做起來。不

Thanksgiving Day

感恩節(jié)是美國國定假日中最地道、最美國式的節(jié)日，而且它和早期美國歷史最為密切相關(guān)。1620年，一些朝圣者（或稱為清教徒）乘坐“五月花”號(hào)船去美國尋求宗教自由。他們在海上顛簸折騰了兩個(gè)月之后，終于在酷寒的十一月里，在現(xiàn)在的馬薩諸塞州的普里茅斯登陸。在第一個(gè)冬天，半數(shù)以上的移民都死于饑餓和傳染病，活下來的人們在第一個(gè)春季開始播種。整個(gè)夏天他們都熱切地盼望著豐收的到來，他們深知自己的生存以及殖民地的存在與否都將取決于即將到來的收成。后來，莊稼獲得了意外的豐收，所以大家決定要選一個(gè)日子來感謝上帝的恩典。多年以后，美國總統(tǒng)宣布每年十一月的第四個(gè)星期四為感恩節(jié)。感 恩節(jié)慶祝活動(dòng)便定在這一天，直到如今。感恩節(jié)慶祝模式許多年來從未改變。豐盛的家宴早在幾個(gè)月之前就開始著手準(zhǔn)備。人們在餐桌上可以吃到蘋果、桔子、栗子、胡桃和葡萄，還有葡萄干布丁、碎肉餡餅、各種其它食物以及紅莓苔汁和鮮果汁，其中最妙和最吸引人的大菜是烤火雞和番瓜餡餅，這些菜一直是感恩節(jié)中最富于傳統(tǒng)意義和最受人喜愛的食品。人人都贊成感恩節(jié)大餐必需以烤火雞為主菜。火雞在烘烤時(shí)要以面包作填料以吸收從中流出來的美味汁液，但烹飪技藝常因家庭和地區(qū)的不同而各異，應(yīng)用什幺填料也就很難求得一致。今天的感恩節(jié)是一個(gè)不折不扣的國定假日。在這一天，具有各種信仰和各種背景的美國人，共同為他們一年來所受到的上蒼的恩典表示感謝，虔誠地祈求上帝繼續(xù)賜福。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.came to America, but it was the American colonials who made a feast of it.After the successful harvest of 1621 in the first year of pious Plymouth colony, Governor William Bradford called for a celebration.But rather than spending the day in prayer, the colonists set the pattern for future American Thanksgivings by inviting the neighbors to a big family dinner, with roast fowl as the main dish.第二段講慶祝方式： In the United States, certain kinds of food are traditionally served at Thanksgiving meals.First and foremost, turkey is usually the featured item on any Thanksgiving feast table(so much so that Thanksgiving is sometimes referred to as “Turkey Day”).Stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, corn, other fall vegetables, yams and pumpkin pie are commonly associated with Thanksgiving dinner.All of these primary dishes are actually native to the Americas and were introduced as a new food source to the Europeans when they arrived.Introduction

Thanksgiving Day, legal holiday observed annually in the United States on the fourth Thursday of November.In Canada, Thanksgiving falls on the second Monday in October.Most people celebrate Thanksgiving by gathering with family or friends for a holiday feast.Thanksgiving was first celebrated by Pilgrims and Native Americans in colonial New England in the early 17th century.Its actual origin, however, probably traces to harvest festivals that have been traditional in many parts of the world since ancient times(see Festivals and Feasts).Today Thanksgiving is mainly a celebration of domestic life, centered on the home and family.II.Customs and SymbolsPrint section

Public observances of Thanksgiving usually emphasize the holiday's connection with the Pilgrims.Thanksgiving pageants and parades often feature children dressed in Pilgrim costume, complete with bonnets or tall hats, dark clothes, and shoes with large silver-colored buckles.Many of the images commonly associated with Thanksgiving are derived from much older traditions of celebrating the autumn harvest.For example, the cornucopia(a horn-shaped basket overflowing with fruits and vegetables)is a typical emblem of Thanksgiving abundance that dates to ancient harvest festivals.Many communities also decorate their churches with fruits, flowers, and vegetables at Thanksgiving, much as European communities have for centuries during the autumn harvest season.In keeping with the idea of celebrating a plentiful harvest, preparing and eating a large meal is a central part of most Thanksgiving celebrations.pumpkin pie.These simple foods recall the rustic virtues of the Pilgrims.emphasizing the natural bounty that greeted early settlers in their adopted homeland.Later groups of immigrants to North America often

Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving meals include Italian specialties, such as pasta and wine.Many Americans digest their holiday meal while watching football games on television.Traditionally, two National Football League(NFL)teams, the Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys, host games on Thanksgiving Day.High viewership of these holiday games has made football an American Thanksgiving tradition.III.OriginsLong before Europeans settled in North America, western Europeans observed Harvest Home festivals to celebrate the successful completion of gathering-in the season's crops.In the British Isles, Lammas Day(Loaf Mass Day), observed on August 1, was often held to celebrate a good wheat harvest.If the wheat crop was disappointing, the holiday was usually canceled.Another important precursor to the modern Thanksgiving holiday was the custom among English Puritans(see Puritanism)of designating special days of thanksgiving to express gratitude for God's blessings.These observances were not held regularly;they usually took place only in times of crisis or immediately after a period of misfortune had passed.Puritan thanksgiving ceremonies were serious religious occasions and bore only a passing resemblance to modern Thanksgiving celebrations.IV.American ThanksgivingsAccording to tradition, the first American Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621 by the English Pilgrims who had founded the Plymouth Colony, now in the state of Massachusetts.The Pilgrims marked the occasion by feasting with their Native American guests—members of the Wampanoag tribe—who brought gifts of food as a gesture of goodwill.Although this event was an important part of American colonial history, there is no evidence that any of the participants thought of the feast as a thanksgiving celebration.Two years later, during a period of drought, a day of fasting and prayer was changed to one of thanksgiving because rains came during the prayers.Gradually the custom prevailed among New Englanders to annually celebrate Thanksgiving after the harvest.Colonial governments and, later, state governments took up the Puritan custom of designating thanksgiving days to commemorate various public events.Gradually the tradition of holding annual thanksgiving holidays spread throughout New England and into other states.During the American Revolution(1775-1783)the Continental Congress proclaimed a national day of thanksgiving following the American victory at the Battle of Saratoga in 1777.U.S.President George Washington proclaimed another day of thanksgiving in 1789 in honor of the ratification of the Constitution of the United States.In 1817 New York State adopted Thanksgiving Day as an annual custom, and many other states soon did the same.Most of the state celebrations were held in November, but not always on the same day.In the mid-19th century Sarah Josepha Hale, editor of Godey's Ladies Book, led a movement to establish Thanksgiving as a national holiday.In 1863, during the American Civil War(1861-1865), President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday in November Thanksgiving Day in order to bolster the Union's morale.After the war, Congress established Thanksgiving as a national holiday, but widespread national observance caught on only gradually.Many Southerners saw the new holiday as an attempt to impose Northern customs on them.However, in the late 19th century Thanksgiving's emphasis on home and family appealed to many people throughout the United States.As a distinctly American holiday, Thanksgiving was also considered an introduction to American values for the millions of immigrants then entering the country.During the 20th century, as the population of the United States became increasingly urban, new Thanksgiving traditions emerged that catered to city dwellers.The day after Thanksgiving gradually became known as the first day of the Christmas shopping season.To attract customers, large retailers such as Macy's in New York City and Gimbel's in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, began to sponsor lavish parades.By 1934 the Macy's parade, featuring richly decorated floats and gigantic balloons, attracted more than one million spectators annually.The custom of watching football games on Thanksgiving Day also evolved during the early decades of the 20th century.As football became increasingly popular in the 1920s and 1930s, many people began to enjoy the holiday at a football stadium.Teams in the National Football League eventually established traditions of playing nationally televised games on Thanksgiving afternoon.In 1939 U.S.President Franklin Roosevelt shifted the day of Thanksgiving from the last Thursday in November to one week earlier.Retail merchants had petitioned the president to make the change to allow for an extra week of shopping between Thanksgiving and Christmas.Many Americans objected to the change in their holiday customs and continued to celebrate Thanksgiving on the last Thursday of the month.Roosevelt's political opponents in Congress also opposed the break with tradition and dubbed the early holiday “Franksgiving.” In May 1941 Roosevelt admitted that he had made a mistake and signed a bill that established the fourth Thursday of November as the national Thanksgiving holiday, which it has been ever since.Thanksgiving is also a legal holiday in Canada.Because Canada is north of the United States, its harvest comes earlier in the year.Accordingly, the Thanksgiving holiday falls earlier in Canada than in the United States.The Canadian Parliament set aside November 6 for annual Thanksgiving observances in 1879.In 1957 the date was shifted to an even earlier day, to the second Monday in October.

第五篇：感恩節(jié)介紹中英文對(duì)照

In the United States, the fourth Thursday in November is called Thanksgiving Day.On that day, Americans give thanks for the blessings they have enjoyed during the year.在美國，每年11月的最后一個(gè)周四稱為‘感恩節(jié)’，在那天，美國人為每年得到的上天賜福表示感激。

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.感恩節(jié)是美國國定假日中最地道、最美國式的節(jié)日，而且它和早期美國歷史最為密切相關(guān)。

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.整個(gè)夏天他們都熱切地盼望著豐收的到來，他們深知自己的生存以及殖民地的存在與否都將取決于即將到來的收成。

Finally the fields produced a yield rich beyond expectations.And therefore it was decided that a day of thanksgiving to the Lord be fixed.后來，莊稼獲得了意外的豐收，所以大家決定要選一個(gè)日子來感謝上帝的恩典。

The celebration of Thanksgiving Day has been observed on that date until today.感恩節(jié)慶祝活動(dòng)便定在這一天，直到如今。

Does Thanksgiving reflect any part of the American culture? 感恩節(jié)反映了哪些美國文化？

It reminds us of the history that the pilgrims left Europe for religious freedom and
