感恩节的来历

11月的第四个星期四是感恩节。

感恩节是美国人民独创的一个古老节日，也是

美国人合家欢聚的节日，因此美国人提起感恩节总是备感亲切。

感恩节是美国国

定假日中最地道、最美国式的节日（holiday），它和早期美国历史最为密切相关。

1620年，一些朝拜者乘坐“五月花”号船去美洲寻求宗教自由。

他们在海上颠簸

了两个月之后，终于在酷寒的十一月里，在现在的马莎塞州的普里茅斯登陆。

在第一个冬天，半数以上的移民都死于（die）饥饿和传染病，活下来的人们在第一

个春季即1621年开始播种。

整个夏天（summer）他们都热切地盼望着丰收的到

来，他们深知自己的生存以及殖民地的存在都将取决于即将到来的收成。

最后

（finally），庄稼获得了意外的丰收，为了感谢上帝赐予的丰收，举行了3天的狂

欢活动。

从此，这一习俗就沿续下来，并逐渐风行各地。

1863年，美国总统林

肯宣布每年十一月的第四个星期四为感恩节。

感恩节庆祝活动便定在这一天，直

到如今。

届时，家家团聚，举国同庆，其盛大、热烈的情形，不亚于中国人过春

节。

感恩节庆祝模式许多年来从未改变。

丰盛的家宴早在几个月之前就开始着手准

备。

人们在餐桌上可以吃到苹果、桔子、栗子、胡桃和葡萄，还有葡萄干布丁、

碎肉馅饼、各种其他食物以及红莓苔汁和鲜果汁，其中最妙和最吸引人的大菜是

烤火鸡（roastturkey）和南瓜馅饼（pumpkinpie），这些菜一直是感恩节中最富于传

统和最受人喜爱的食品（food）。
