感恩節手抄報1

Thanksgiving in the United States is a time to gather with family and friends, share a traditional meal and express gratitude for the good things in life. It can also be a time of service to others in the community.

美國每年一度的感恩節(Thanksgiving)是家人和朋友團聚的日子。在這一天，親朋好友共進傳統風格的大餐，對生活中的諸多恩惠表示感激。還有很多人爲鄰里社區的其他人提供服務。

Celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November, Thanksgiving traces its origins to harvest festivals. It was customary to express gratitude for a bountiful harvest in the cultures of both the Pilgrims who sailed from England in 1620 and the Native Americans they encountered.

人們在每年11月的第四個星期四歡慶感恩節。慶祝的傳統最早來自慶豐收的活動。不論是1620年從英國跨海來美洲的清教徒，還是他們遇見的美洲印第安人，他們對盛大的豐收表示感激都已形成習俗，成爲各自文化的一部分。

Thanksgiving was observed on various dates in the states until 1863, when President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday in November as the national Thanksgiving holiday. In 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt signed a law fixing Thanksgiving on the fourth (not always the last) Thursday in November.

1863年前，各州往往在不同日子慶祝感恩節。1863年，林肯(Abraham Lincoln)總統宣佈11月份的最後一個星期四爲全國感恩節。1941年，羅斯福(Franklin Roosevelt)總統簽署法律，將感恩節確定爲11月的第四個星期四(因爲第四個星期四不一定總是最後一個星期四)。

Many Thanksgiving traditions come from that 1621 harvest celebration. Sheaves of wheat or corn are often used as decorations. Roast turkey, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie are commonly served at Thanksgiving dinner. But as the U.S. population becomes more diverse, so does the Thanksgiving meal. Nowadays, sitting next to the turkey might be a dish of tamales, tabbouleh, couscous or sauerkraut.

許多感恩節傳統始於1621年的豐收慶典。人們通常用一捆捆的小麥或玉米作節日裝飾。烤火雞、越橘漿、紅薯和南瓜攀都是感恩節晚餐常見的食物。隨着美國人口的日益多樣性，感恩節大餐的內容也更豐富多樣。如今，擺在火雞旁的可能是一盤玉米粉蒸肉(tamales)、塔博勒色拉(tabbouleh)、蒸粗麥粉(couscous)或泡菜(sauerkraut)。

Thanksgiving is the busiest travel period of the year because families make a special effort to be together. Some favorite pastimes include watching television coverage of the annual Macy’s Department Store parade in New York and of American football games played around the country. The day after Thanksgiving marks the beginning of the Christmas shopping season, an importanttime for U.S. retailers.

感恩節是一年中旅行最繁忙的時期。許多家庭會想一切辦法舉家團聚。人們喜愛的一些娛樂活動有，觀看電視直播紐約市(New York)每年一度梅西百貨商店(Macy’s Department Store)的大遊行以及全國各地舉行的美式足球比賽。感恩節後第二天意味着聖誕購物季節的開始，這對美國零售商來說是一個重要的促銷季節。

One whimsical Thanksgiving tradition is the annual “pardoning” of a turkey by the U.S. president, who spares the bird from the dinner table. The bird goes on to live out its life at a petting zoo.

感恩節還有一個有趣的傳統。美國總統每年會“赦免”(pardoning)一隻火雞，這隻火雞可在寵物園度過餘生，免遭成爲盤中餐的命運。
