【感恩节英语介绍】
ThanksgivingDay is the most truly American of the national Holidays in the United Statesand 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 wherethey could have freedom of worship. After a tempestuous two-month voyage theylanded at in icy November, what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts.
During their firstwinter, over half of the settlers died of starvation or epidemics. Those whosurvived began sowing in the first spring.
All summer long theywaited for the harvests with great anxiety, knowing that their lives and thefuture existence of the colony depended on the coming harvest. Finally thefields produced a yield rich beyond expectations. And therefore it was decidedthat a day of thanksgiving to the Lord be fixed. Years later, President of theUnited States proclaimed the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving Dayevery year. The celebration of Thanksgiving Day has been observed on that dateuntil today.
The pattern of theThanksgiving celebration has never changed through the years. The big familydinner 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 mostattractive among them are roast turkey and pumpkin pie. They have been the mosttraditional and favorite food on Thanksgiving Day throughout the years.
Everyone agrees thedinner must be built around roast turkey stuffed with a bread dressing toabsorb the tasty juices as it roasts. But as cooking varies with families andwith the regions where one lives, it is not easy to get a consensus on theprecise kind of stuffing for the royal bird.
Thanksgiving today is,in every sense, a national annual holiday on which Americans of all faiths andbackgrounds join in to express their thanks for the year' s bounty andreverently ask for continued blessings.
