感恩节英文介绍
Thanksgiving Day(感恩节)
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 ThanksgivingTurkey, 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.
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 which means

it 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.
