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[1] 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[2]. 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[3] 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[4] 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[5] blessings.
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"號船去美國尋求。他們在海上顛簸折騰了兩個月之后，終于在酷寒的十一月里，在現(xiàn)在的的普里茅斯登陸。
在第一個冬天，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春季開始播種。整個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星期四為感恩節(jié)。感恩節(jié)慶祝活動便定在這一天，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。
注釋：
1. died of：死于…… 當(dāng)死于身體內(nèi)部原因的，die后面要接介詞of，如：饑餓（starvation）、悲傷（sadness）等；當(dāng)死于外因時則要用die from，比如死于受傷（wound）.
2. it was decided that a day of thanksgiving to the Lord be fixed： decide可是個讓你省事兒的好詞了。它后面如果接從句，往往接虛擬語氣。所以看見decide后面的從句，你就可以大膽地用動詞 （should）+"原形""啦！
3. dressing：調(diào)味品、填料。這里的dressing可不是穿的呀，a bread dressing可不是"面包衣服"！和bread在一起，dressing自然就是吃的啦！它是"調(diào)味品"的意思，"穿"在食物的身上了.
4. consensus on：就……達成一致。注：consensus后面的介詞要用on，而不用about。
5. continued：繼續(xù)的。這里的continued看似動詞continue的過去式，但它卻是有自己的含義的，它是形容詞"繼續(xù)的"意思。這樣continued blessings就是上帝"繼續(xù)的賜福"了

'Twas the night of Thanksgiving,
but I just couldn't sleep...
I tried counting backwards,
I tried counting sheep.
The leftovers beckoned...the dark meat and white,
but I fought the temptation with all of my might.
Tossing and turning with anticipation,
the thought of a snack became infatuation.
So, I raced to the kitchen, flung open the door
and gazed at the fridge, full of goodies galore.
I gobbled up turkey and buttered potatoes,
stuffing with gravy, green beans and tomatoes.
I felt myself swelling so plump and so round,
till all of a sudden, I rose off the ground.
I crashed through the ceiling, floating into the sky
with a mouthful of pudding and a handful of pie
But, I managed to yell as I soared past the trees...
Happy eating to all -- pass the cranberries, please.
