Thanksgiving in the United States

美国的感恩节

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.

在大部分国家，人们通常在特殊的节假日吃传统的食物。在美国有一个特殊节日就是感恩节。它总是在十一月的第四个星期四，是一个在秋天感恩食物的日子。在这时，人们还记得400年前第一批从英格兰来到美国居住的旅游者。这些旅游者度过了漫长的，严寒的冬天，他们中很多人都死了。在第二年的秋天，他们在新的家园感恩生命和食物。今天，大多数美国人仍通过在家里和家人一起吃大餐来庆祝感恩节。这顿饭的主菜几乎总是一只大鸟——火鸡。
