In 1620, the pilgrims sailed to America on a ship named “the May Flower”. They landed at Plymouth, Massachusetts in November. (1620年，英国的清教徒乘“五月花号”船航行到美国，他们在十一月份到达了马萨诸塞州的普里茅斯。） 2. When the pilgrims came to America, the Native Americans already lived there. Sometimes people call Native Americans “Indians”.(当清教徒们来到美国时，原住民已经住在那里。有时人们称当地原住民为印第安人。） 3. Life in America was hard. The pilgrims would have starved if the Native Americans had not helped them and shared food with them. (清教徒们在美国的生活很艰辛！如果没有原住居民帮助他们并与他们分享食物，清教徒们可能早就饿死了。） 4. The Pilgrims thanked the Native Americans for their help and thanked God for plentiful crops .Therefore, on the 4th Thursday of November of that year, the Pilgrims and the Indians had a feast. 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. (清教徒们十分感谢原住民的帮助以及上帝赐予他们良好的收成。因次，在那年十一月的第四个星期四，清教徒们和印第安人举行了盛大的宴席。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，直到现在。） The Customs of Thanksgiving Day  感恩节的习俗 Families get together for a big dinner. potato corn apple pear carrot grapes onion wheat turkey pumpkin pie Customs 节日习俗 1.Thanksgiving Day Parade (大游行） 每逢感恩节这一天，美国举国上下热闹非常，基督徒按照习俗前往教堂做感恩祈祷，城市乡镇到处都有化装游行、戏剧表演或体育比赛等。分别了一年的亲人们也会从天南海北归来，一家人团圆。 2 Shopping 节日购物 　 每年感恩节后的第二天，被称作黑色星期五（Black Friday），通常美国的购物场所都会以比平时低很多（有时是一折或者两折）的价格销售商品，所以很多人家在团聚之后都会举家出动，昼夜排队以求购买到物美价廉的商品，这也逐渐成为了一种新的习俗。 Customs 节日习俗 3、Games 节日游戏 感恩节宴会后，人们有时会做些传统游戏，比如南瓜赛跑是比赛者用一把小勺推着南瓜跑，规则是不能用手碰南瓜，先到终点者获胜。比赛用的勺子越小，游戏就越有意思。 Customs 节日习俗 On Thanksgiving, we remember the people and things we are thankful for. (在感恩节这一天，我们怀念那些我们想感谢的人和事。） S
