　　感恩节英文介绍：

　　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.
