Thanksgiving Day

now i would like to give you some details about thanksgiving day in the united states. 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.现在我想给你们详细谈谈美国的感恩节。感恩节是美国国定假日中最地道、最美国式的节日，而且它和早期美国历史最为密切相关。

1620年，一些朝圣者（或称为清**）乘坐"五月花"号船去美国寻求宗教自由。他们在海上颠簸折腾了两个月之后，终于在酷寒的十一月里，在现在的马萨诸塞州的普里茅斯登陆。

在第一个冬天，半数以上的**都死于饥饿和传染病，活下来的人们在第一个春季开始播种。整个夏天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与否都将取决于即将到来的收成。后来，庄稼获得了意外的丰收，所以大家决定要选一个日子来感谢上帝的恩典。多年以后，美国总统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。

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、各种其它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和番瓜馅饼，这些菜一直是感恩节中最富于传统意义和最受人喜爱的食品。

人人都赞成感恩节大餐必需以烤火鸡为主菜。火鸡在烘烤时要以面包作填料以吸收从中流出来的美味汁液，但烹饪技艺常因家庭和地区的不同而各异，应用什幺填料也就很难求得一致。

今天的感恩节是一个不折不扣的国定假日。在这一天，具有各种信仰和各种背景的美国人，共同为他们一年来所受到的上苍的恩典表示感谢，虔诚地祈求上帝继续赐福。

The first area concerns the relationship between parents and their children. Most foreign students have been raised to 52 their parents. They consider and value highly what their parents have taught them. Moreover, what their parents have taught them has 53 become their own standard for living. Because of the idea of progress, most American children believe that their parents' ideas and 54 are not necessarily the best. Americans think that there is always some change to be made for the better. A second area affected by the idea of progress concerns the material world. Many Americans 55 that there are enough material goods for everyone; they tend to think that the supply is 56 . So they are always trying to work for more, more, and still more. A third area 57 the Americans' concept of time. They are very time-conscious, perhaps because time is such an important factor in the world of business and material 58 . Americans tend to live by the motto, "Time is money." They believe you should use your time well and get the most that you can. The fourth concern is education and 59 . Americans are quite interested in education and new knowledge and they 60 the famous saying, "Never too old to learn." They will make good use of their life to learn as much as possible.

In the toddler years children begin to establish contact with peers, develop the basic skills of play behavior and show 61 for certain playmates. Preschoolers identify specific children as friends and interact differently with friends than non-friends. With toddlers friendship is not reflected in language, but in the time they spend together 62 in a common activity. During the 63 school years children generally choose friends who are similar to themselves and who share their interests. At this age children become 64 group-oriented; the most well-liked children are those who can manage social relations within a group and think of activities that are fun. Groups reflect most of the problems that exist in all social relationships--inclusion/exclusion, 65 , independence, fear of rejection. They also reflect sex differences. Groups become more 66 ; girls usually have more intimate and supportive relationships with their friends than boys do. Their play groups reflect this difference; boys tend to 67 with peers in large groups centered on sports while girls are more likely to be involved in **all groups and spend more time in personal conversation. Girls' friendship groups are usually **aller and more exclusive than boys' during childhood, and then in 68 the situation reverses. As children mature and rely less on their parents for guidance, they turn to their peers. Cliques can be based on appearance, 69 ability, academic achievement, social or economic status, talent, ability to attract the opposite sex, or seeming 70 -- the jocks, the nerds, the brains, the cool kids, etc. Some kids care about belonging to a certain group, suffer from feelings of rejection if they are not included and can become victims of teasing and bullying.

求Thanksgiving in the united states这篇文章的英语原文?

In most countries, people usually eat traditional food on special holidays. A special day in the United States is Thanksgiving.It is always on the fourth Thursday in November，and is a time to give thanks for food in the autumn.At this time, people also remember the first travelers from England who came to live in America about 400 years ago. These travelers had a long, hard winter, and many of them died. In the next autumn, they gave thanks for life and food in their new home. These days, most Americans still celebrate this idea of giving thanks by having a big meal at home with their family. The main dish of this meal is almost always turkey, a large bird.

Making a turkey dinner

Here is one way to make turkey for a Thanksgiving dinner.

First, mix together some bread pieces, onions, salt and pepper.

Next, fill the turkey with this bread mix.

Then, put the turkey in a hot oven and cook it for a few hours.

When it is ready, place the turkey on a large plate and cover it with gravy.

Finally, cut the turkey into thin pieces and eat the meat with vegetables like carrots and potatoes.

人教版六年级英语happy thanksgiving原文

Sam: Out of bed, sleepyhead. We need to go get a good spot.

Ann: Wha-what? The sun's not even up yet!

Sam: We're going to the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade! To see all the floats and balloons.

Ann: Can't we just watch it on TV?

Sam: Nope. I promised Jenny we'd go so she can finish cooking.

Ann: OK, I'm coming already! God, this is like getting up for Confucius' Birthday Ceremony!

(During the parade)

Ann: What a prime spot! I've never seen balloons this big!

Sam: This parade is about eighty years old. It's a New York tradition.

Ann: Is that Santa Claus on that float? Isn't Christmas still a month away?

Sam: Hah, yeah, that's true. But, Macy's is a department store, so they want to get you thinking of Christmas early.

Ann: So you'll shop? That's crazy!

Sam: Yeah, and remember Jenny's dad? He's probably already got his Christmas lights up!

Ann: Speaking of Jenny, shouldn't we head back to help?

讲解：

1. 对话中Sam要带Ann去看梅西百货感恩节**，也就是the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade。梅西百货是美国最大的百货公司，它在感恩节当天举行的大**，已经成了美国人过感恩节的传统节目之一，有数以万计的人会一大清早，甚至带着睡袋彻夜在路旁等候，就是为了抢一个好位子。get a good spot，就是“占一个好位子”。

2. 嗯，这也就是为什么Ann觉得像参加祭孔大典了，this is like getting up for Confucius' Birthday Ceremony! Confucius就是孔子。如果感恩节当天没去现场看梅西百货**的人，也会习惯一早打开电视，看电视的现场直播。

3. 1927年，当时纽约梅西百货公司的员工发起了在感恩节当天以化妆**的方式来庆祝，多年下来就成了传统，甚至后来还加入了超大型的气球玩偶，成了梅西百货感恩节**的一大特色。时至今日，每到感恩节的早上，从纽约中央公园西侧的77街到梅西百货所在的34街沿路都挤满了来自各地的游客，观看各式各样有几层楼高的大型气球人偶**。float，这里是指“**的花车”。

4. Ann还没有睡醒，想在家收看电视直播，Sam不同意，他说Nope. I promised Jenny we'd go so she can finish cooking. 不行，我答应过Jenny我们会去，好让她做完感恩节大餐。Nope.用在口语中，跟no是一样的，表示“不，否定的答复”。那么yep就跟yes一样，用在口语中，表示“是，肯定的答复”。finish doing something，做完某事。

6. Ann没有办法，只好说I'm coming already! 就是“我来了”。如果有人催你快点来，你也正在动身了，这个已经从起点出发而尚未到达终点的过程，我们就可以说I'm coming already!同时，这句话还带点不耐烦的感觉。例如: ---What's taking you so long? --- I'm coming already! ---你在干什么？还不来？ ---来了来了！

7. 当然，如果你正准备动身离开，也可以说成I'm leaving already. 例如：--- I need you to go home right now!--- OK, OK, I'm leaving already. ---你现在就回家。---好了好了，我这就走。现在Sam和Ann来到了**的现场，Ann很兴奋，她说What a prime spot! I've never seen balloons this big! 真是个好位置！我从来没见过这么大的气球！prime表示“极好的；第一流的”。

8. Ann突然发现了在一架花车上有圣诞老人的人偶，很奇怪，因为离圣诞节还有一个月呢。Isn't Christmas still a month away? 这虽然是一个问句，但是并不要求别人来回答，有强调的意味，比如说，Isn't it beautiful? 很漂亮，是不是？其实也就是“太漂亮了”的意思。

9. Sam解释说，虽然离圣诞节还有一个月，但是梅西百货已经开始做广告了，让人们早点想到圣诞节。get someone/something doing 让某人某物开始做某事，例如：Get your imagination going! 开动你的想象力！

10. 这样人们就会很快开始为圣诞节购物了，这也是商家一种很有效的宣传方式。这让Sam想起了Jenny的爸爸，也许他已经在挂他的圣诞节彩灯了。说到Jenny，Ann想起也许他们应该赶回去帮Jenny准备感恩节大餐了。speaking of，说到，谈起。head back，回去，相当于go back。

Dialogue Script 3 对话原文 3

Jenny: The turkey's stuffed and has been cooking for about three hours.

Sam: OK, and that's asparagus and that's cranberry sauce, but what's that?

Jenny: Candied yams. With lots of butter and brown sugar and marshmallows on top.

Sam: Wow, you made a ham, too? Why is it covered with pineapple slices?

Jenny: That's decoration. It's a honey ham with a sweet glaze. Those whole cloves are keeping the pineapples on the ham.

Sam: It all looks delicious, Jenny. What can I do to help?

Jenny: Finish the deviled eggs. Then baste the turkey!

(An hour later, as people begin to arrive)

Jenny: Help yourselves to the spinach dip and other appetizers. We can eat in about thirty minutes.

Sam: Can we put the rolls on now?

Jenny: Sure can. And it's time to get dad to come carve the turkey for us.

Sam: I'll finish whipping the mashed potatoes!

Jenny: We can set the table, too. I just wish we had good china to serve on.

Sam: Don't worry. No one came here for the fancy dishes!

讲解：

1. Jenny在厨房里忙的热火朝天，Sam进来帮她的忙。火鸡已经填好了作料，而且已经烤了3个小时了。stuff做动词表示“填充，装满”，例如：His head is stuffed with silly notions. 他满脑子的愚蠢想法。那么在烤火鸡时塞在火鸡肚子里的面包、蔬菜等“填料”就叫stuffing。

2. cranberry sauce是感恩节餐桌上必不可少的食物，美国每年9、10月份盛产小红梅，所以小红梅酱也成了感恩节大餐中的一个配角，但它可不是当果酱来吃，而是用来蘸食火鸡或其他肉类的。还有一种酱汁是gravy，虽然美国人不爱吃动物内脏，但是处理火鸡的时候，会把火鸡的内脏切碎，混入烤火鸡时滴下的鸡汁和油，在加上奶油、胡椒、芹菜等作料做成肉汁。gravy可以在烤火鸡时涂在上面，也放在餐桌上，蘸火鸡肉来吃。

3. 还有candied yams，蜜番薯，上面盖满了奶油、红糖和软糖。pumpkin pie，南瓜派，也是感恩节大餐的必备甜品。Jenny还做了蜜汁火腿，honey ham with a sweet glaze，并且加上了糖汁，用菠萝片把火腿包起来做装饰。

4. clove，丁香，一头圆，一头尖，做蜜汁火腿时，会用尖的那头**还没有切开的火腿肉内，而圆的那头露在外面，可以支撑贴在火腿上的一片片菠萝。看起来真的是很美味呀。Sam问有什么能帮忙的，Jenny说先把芥末蛋弄完，芥末蛋就是deviled eggs。然后再把火鸡涂上肉汁，baste the turkey，baste，就是在烤肉或烤鱼时为防止烤干而在上面涂抹由油脂、料汁等制成的肉汁。

5. 一个小时之后，客人们来到了Jenny家，Jenny招呼大家说Help yourselves to the spinach dip and other appetizers. 大家不要客气，自己来拿菠菜蘸酱和其他开胃菜。help oneself to something，随便吃某种食物。spinach dip，菠菜蘸酱。appetizer，是开胃菜，通常饭前食用来**食欲的食物或饮料。

6. 三十分钟内就能开饭了。Can we put the rolls on now? 就是“我们现在可以上面包卷了吗？”。Jenny说也该叫爸爸来为大家切火鸡了。传统上，在烤好的火鸡上动第一刀的人，都是一家之主，尤其是男主人。

7. 这里还要给大家介绍一个吃火鸡的传统，就是在切开火鸡之后，鸡胸的部分会有一个叉骨，两个人可以先许愿，然后分别拿着叉骨的一端一起折断，传说中谁手上剩的骨头比较大，谁的愿望就可以实现，所以这块骨头叫做“许愿骨”，也就是wishbone，那折许愿骨的赢家，就是wishbone pull winner。

8. 听起来很有意思。Sam的土豆泥也快搅好了，whip，指“搅打鸡蛋，奶油等”。set the table，把餐具等摆上饭桌。那吃过饭后收拾桌子就是clear the table。

9. Jenny非常希望能有好的瓷器可以端上去，Sam安慰她说No one came here for the fancy dishes! 没有关系，没有人是为了精致的餐具而来的，而是为了美味的感恩节大餐。在这里还要说一下，大部分的美国家庭是在下午吃感恩节大餐，而不是晚上。这样的话午餐、晚餐就都省了，晚上肚子饿的时候，再吃大餐的剩菜，或者用剩下的肉做成火鸡三明治。

10. 看来每年感恩节的时候呢都会有数百万的火鸡被杀，为了纪念这些火鸡的牺牲，白宫每年感恩节都会特赦一只火鸡，让它安养到老，也是一个很有意思的传统。

How to Cook A Turkey

This turkey is work... it requires more attention than an average six-month-old baby. There are no shortcuts, as you will see.

Get a HUGE turkey-- I don't mean just a big, big bird, but one that looks as though it gave the farmer a hard time when he did it in. It ought to weigh between 16 and 30 pounds. Have the poultryman, or butcher, cut its head off at the end of the neck, peel back the skin, and remove the neck close to the body, leaving the tube. You will want this for stuffing. Also , he should leave all the fat on the bird.

When you are ready to cook your bird, rub it inside and out with salt and pepper. Give it a friendly pat and set it aside. Chop the heart, gizzard, and liver and put them, with the neck, into a stewpan with a clove of garlic, a large bay leaf, 1/2 tsp coriander, and some salt. I don't know how much salt-- whatever you think. Cover this with about 5 cups of water and put on the stove to simmer. This will be the basting fluid a little later.

About this time I generally have my first drink of the day, usually a RAMOS FIZZ. I concoct it by taking the whites of four eggs, an equal amount of whipping cream, juice of half a lemon (less 1 tsp.), 1/2 tsp. confectioner's sugar, an appropriate amount of gin, and blending with a few ice cubes. Pour about two tablespoons of club soda in a chimney glass, add the mix, with ice cubes if you prefer. Save your egg yolks, plus 1 tsp. of lemon -- you'll need them later. Have a good sip! (add 1 dash of Orange Flower Water to the drink, not the egg yolks)

Get a huge bowl. Throw into it one diced apple, one diced orange, a large can of crushed pineapple, the grated rind of a lemon, and three tablespoons of chopped preserved ginger (If you like ginger, double this -REB). Add 2 cans of drained Chinese water chestnuts. Mix this altogether, and have another sip of your drink. Get a second, somewhat **aller, bowl. Into this, measuring by teaspoons, put:

2 tsp hot dry mustard

2 tsp caraway seed

2 tsp celery seed

2 tsp poppy seed

1 tsp black pepper

2 1/2 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp mace

1/2 tsp turmeric

1/2 tsp marjoram

1/2 tsp savory

3/4 tsp sage

3/4 tsp thyme

1/4 tsp basil

1/2 tsp chili powder

In the same bowl, add:

1 Tbsp poultry seasoning

4 Tbsp parsley

1 Tbsp salt

4 headless crushed cloves

1 well-crushed bay leaf

4 lrg chopped onions

6 good dashes Tabasco

5 crushed garlic cloves

6 lrg chopped celery

Wipe your brow, refocus your eyes, get yet another drink--and a third bowl. Put in three packages of unseasoned bread crumbs (or two loaves of toast or bread crumbs), 3/4 lb. ground veal, 1/2 lb. ground fresh pork, 1/4 lb. butter, and all the fat you have been able to pull out of the bird.

About now it seems advisable to switch drinks. Martinis or stingers are recommended (Do this at your own risk - we always did! -REB). Get a fourth bowl, an enormous one. Take a sip for a few minutes, wash your hands, and mix the contents of all the other bowls. Mix it well. Stuff the bird and skewer it. Put the leftover stuffing into the neck tube.

Turn your oven to 500 degrees F and get out a fifth **all bowl. Make a paste consisting of those four egg yolks and lemon juice left from the Ramos Fizz. Add 1 tsp hot dry mustard, a crushed clove of garlic, 1 Tbl onion juice, and enough flour to make a stiff paste. When the oven is red hot, put the bird in, breast down on the rack. Sip on your drink until the bird has begin to brown all over, then take it out and paint the bird all over with paste. Put it back in and turn the oven down to 350 degrees F. Let the paste set, then pull the bird out and paint again. Keep doing this until the paste is used up.

Add a quart of cider or white wine to the stuff that's been simmering on the stove, This is your basting fluid. The turkey must be basted every 15 minutes. Don't argue. Set your timer and keep it up. (When confronted with the choice "do I baste from the juice under the bird or do I baste with the juice from the pot on the stove?" make certain that the juice under the bird neither dries out and burns, nor becomes so thin that gravy is weak. When you run out of baste, use cheap red wine. This critter makes incredible gravy! -REB)The bird should cook about 12 minutes per pound, basting every 15 minutes.

As the bird cooks, it will first get a light brown, then a dark brown, then darker and darker. After about 2 hours you will think I'm crazy. The bird will be turning black. (Newcomers to black turkey will think you are demented and drunk on your butt, which, if you've followed instructions, you are -REB) In fact, by the time it is finished, it will look as though we have ruined it. Take a fork and poke at the black cindery crust.

Beneath, the bird will be a gorgeous mahogany, reminding one of those golden-browns found in precious Rembrandts. Stick the fork too deep, and the juice will gush to the ceiling. When you take it out, ready to carve it, you will find that you do not need a knife. A load sound will cause the bird to fall apart like the walls of that famed biblical city. The moist flesh will drive you crazy, and the stuffing--well, there is nothing like it on this earth. You will make the gravy just like it as always done, adding the giblets and what is left of the basting fluid.
