感恩節(jié)的來源英文

　　每逢感恩節(jié)這一天，美國舉國上下熱鬧非常，基督徒按照習俗前往教堂做感恩祈禱，城市鄉(xiāng)鎮(zhèn)到處都有化裝游行、戲劇表演或體育比賽等。分別了一年的親人們也會從天南海北歸來，一家人團圓，品嘗以“火雞”為主的感恩節(jié)美食。

　　【感恩節(jié)來源介紹】

　　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.

　　【感恩節(jié)購物與黑色星期五】

　　感恩節(jié)購物已經(jīng)成為了美國人的習俗。從感恩節(jié)到圣誕節(jié)這一個月，美國零售業(yè)總銷售額能占到全年的1/3強，是各個商家傳統(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)。

　　之所以叫這個名字，據(jù)說是因為周五這天一大早，所有人都要摸著黑沖到商場排隊買便宜貨，這種行為有個非常形象的說法，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)當政時期，但實際上這個傳統(tǒng)儀式可以追溯到美國內(nèi)戰(zhàn)林肯總統(tǒng)當政的時期。

　　1863年的一天，林肯的兒子泰德突然闖入內(nèi)閣會議請求赦免一只名叫杰克的寵物火雞，因為這只被送進白宮的火雞，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)美國總統(tǒng)25號特赦感恩節(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。

　　美國總統(tǒng)并對保護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個星期四是美國感恩節(jié)。

　　在女兒薩莎和瑪麗亞的陪伴下，美國總統(tǒng)特赦了本來要用做盤中餐的火雞.美國總統(tǒng)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，當局還準備了一只備用火雞，名叫“卡羅琳娜”。
