篇1：感恩节的由来(The Story of American Thanksgiving)
感恩节的由来(the story of american thanksgiving)
thanksgiving day is an american holiday and not celebrated in continental europe. on the fourth thursday of each november, families and friends gather together for the occasion to celebrate with a traditional turkey dinner, usually in the mid-afternoon. thanksgiving originated as a celebration of the year's harvest and is similar to the mid-autumn festival in china. www•
the origin of the thanksgiving day
this american tradition started in 1621 before the united states of america was established. it was a huge celebration for a hard-earned harvest the first year after arriving in the new world.
on september 6, 1620, the mayflower ship set sail from plymouth, devon, england, taking all the english pilgrims （清教徒）to the new world. the english pilgrims numbered about a hundred people, and left england to escape religious persecution. their voyage to the new world was financed by merchant adventurers, an english investor group.
the pilgrims sailed sixty-six days, arrived in the new world in november of the same year. they first settled in a cornfield abandoned by native indians and named it plymouth plantation.
they worked on the land with much difficulty and were beset by a devastating plague in which half of the pilgrim died in the long winter of 1620. in the spring of 1621, an indian brave named squanto and her wampanoag （瓦帕浓人，北美印第安人阿尔琴族一部落）tribe came to their help. the tribe taught the pilgrims how to work the earth and plant corn, beans, pumpkins, squash and other crops.
the thanksgiving feast in 1621
in late september 1621, the pilgrims were pleased with their great harvest. to celebrate their first harvest, the pilgrims wanted to thank god and the native indian. they invited squanto and the entire wampanoag tribe that celebrate together in a shared feast.
it was said about ninety wampanoag turned up, much to the surprise of the pilgrims, whose population had shrunk to no more than 50. the chief of the tribe had his men hunt five deer to bring to the feast. the first thanksgiving dinner had an elaborate menu with venison, wild turkey, goose, duck, crane, swan, and other waterfowl; they also has local seafood: clams, lobsters, mussels, salmon, cod, bass, herring, shad, bluefish, lots of eel and oysters. they also cooked plenty of vegetables, among them squash, pumpkins and beans were the most popular.
they ate raspberries, strawberries, grapes, plums, cherries, blueberries, walnuts, chestnuts, acorns, hickory and ground nuts, wheat flour, indian corn and corn meal and they made beer out of barley. the pumpkin pudding was later developed into the traditional pumpkin pie.
the first thanksgiving dinner is said to have lasted from three days to one week with much food, beer and liquor. the pilgrims and the native indian sat together on the ground, shared food with fingers or used rough plates made of wood or stale bread. they ran races, played old english games and staged parades during the festive, with marches, drums and firing of their muskets.
“thanksgiving” related to the bible
the phrase “thanksgiving” initially comes from the bible. the pilgrims of plymouth, however, were mainly puritans and strict calvinist protestants. they only observed three religious holidays from the new testament: sunday sabbath, days of fasting and humiliation and thanksgiving. thanksgiving marked favourable (“mercies”) in community life.
the first thanksgiving festival was indeed a time of happiness, fellowship and rejoicing for the pilgrims. they arranged a friendly treaty with the native american indians, built houses in the wilderness, and raised sufficient crops to feed themselves for the upcoming long winter. the pilgrims had become the first generation of settlers in this new land holding so much promise.
from then on, thanksgiving became a holiday for celebrating the harvest in the new world, dates varied from october to november each year over the next 150 years.
thanksgiving, the national holiday
the first national thanksgiving was declared by the continental congress in 1777. on october 3, 1789, president george washington declared that the people of the united states should observe “a day of public thanksgiving and prayer” on thursday, 26 november.
many say the credit for the establishment of an annual thanksgiving holiday should be given to sarah josepha hale. being the editor of ladies magazine and godey's lady's book, she lobbied to the governors, senators, and presidents for a national holiday and published stories and recipes for that day in her magazine. after 36 years of crusading, she won her battle. in 1863, buoyed by the union victory at gettysburg, president lincoln proclaimed that november 26, would be a national thanksgiving day, to be observed every year on the fourth thursday of november.
in 1941, a congressional joint resolution set the fourth thursday of november as a national holiday for thanksgiving.
there you are - the brief history of thanksgiving- a day in america for families and friends to gather together. the festival is also celebrated by americans living abroad. thanks to the native americans and the pilgrims who created this idea of a day of thanksgiving all those live in the new world can be thankful for all we have and share the joy with our family members and friends

篇5：The Origin of Thanksgiving（感恩节的起源）
作者：张华 巩玉香
Thanksgiving dates back to the days of the early New England colonists（殖民地的居民） who were having difficulty living in New England. According to the legend(传说), without the help of the native American Indians, the settlers(移民者) would have been dead. The Indians showed the colonists how to hunt(打猎) wild turkeys and how to grow corn. In the fall, the Indians and colonists gathered for a feast(宴会) to honour their friendship.
In fact, the colonists and Indians never got along very well, and this first Thanksgiving dinner probably never took place. Even so, Americans today follow the tradition( 传统) by inviting friends and relatives（亲戚） for a turkey dinner on the fourth Thursday of November.
感恩节的起源要追溯到新英格兰殖民时代。殖民地上的早期居民在这块新土地上生活得非常困苦，根据传说，如果没有美洲原来居住的印第安人的帮助，这些殖民者可能早就死了。印第安人教殖民者猎野火鸡和种植玉米。秋天时，印第安人和殖民者齐聚在宴会上，向他们的友谊致敬。
事实上，殖民者和印第安人相处地一直不好，而这第一次的感恩节大餐可能也从未举办过。尽管如此，现在的美国人，在十一月的第四个星期四，还是会邀请亲朋好友一起来享用火鸡大餐，以沿袭这项传统。

samuel adams, father of the american revolution: “it is therefore recommended ... to set apart thursday the eighteenth day of december next, for solemn thanksgiving and praise, that with one heart and one voice the good people may express the grateful feelings of their hearts and consecrate themselves to the service of their divine benefactor ...”—november 1, 1777 (adopted by the 13 states as the first official thanksgiving proclamation)
abraham lincoln, during the civil war: “we have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown.”—1863
sir john templeton: “how wonderful it would be if we could help our children and grandchildren to learn thanksgiving at an early age. thanksgiving opens the doors. it changes a child’s personality. a child is resentful, negative—or thankful. thankful children want to give, they radiate happiness, they draw people.”
albert schweitzer: “to educate yourself for the feeling of gratitude means to take nothing for granted, but to always seek out and value the kind that will stand behind the action. nothing that is done for you is a matter of course. everything originates in a will for the good, which is directed at you. train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude.”
william faulkner: “gratitude is a quality similar to electricity: it must be produced and discharged and used up in order to exist at all.”
anne frank: “i do not think of all the misery, but of the glory that remains. go outside into the fields, nature and tthe sun, go out and seek happiness in yourself and in god. think of the beauty that again and again discharges itself within and without you and be happy.”
theodore roosevelt: “let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds.”—1901

篇17：感恩节由来
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。起源于马萨诸塞普利茅斯的早期移民。这些移民在英国本土时被称为清教徒，因为他们对英国教会的宗教改革不彻底感到不满，以及英王及英国教会对他们的政治镇压和宗教迫害，所以这些清教徒脱离英国教会，远走荷兰，后来决定迁居到大西洋彼岸那片荒无人烟的土地上，希望能按照自己的意愿信教自由地生活。
1962年9月，“五月花号”轮船载着102名清教徒及其家属离开英国驶向北美大陆，经过两个多月的艰苦航行，在马萨诸塞的普利茅斯登陆上岸，从此定居下来。第一个冬天，由于食物不足、天气寒冷、传染病肆虐和过度劳累，这批清教徒一下子死去了一半以上。第二年春天，当地印第安部落酋长马萨索德带领心地善良的印第安人，给了清教徒谷物种子，并教他们打猎、种植庄稼、捕鱼等。在印第安人的帮助下，清教徒们当年获得了大丰收。首任总督威廉·布莱德福为此建议设立一个节日，庆祝丰收，感谢上帝的恩赐。同时，还想借此节日加强白人与印第安人的和睦关系。1611月下旬的星期四，清教徒们和马萨索德带来的90名印第安人欢聚一堂，庆祝美国历史上第一个感恩节，
男性清教徒外出打猎、捕捉火鸡，女人们则在家里用玉米、南瓜、红薯和果子等做成美味佳肴。就这样，白人和印第安人围着篝火，边吃边聊，还载歌载舞，整个庆祝活动持续了三天。
初时感恩节没有固定日期，由各州临时决定。直到美国独立后的1863年，林肯总统宣布感恩节为全国性节日。
感恩节的象征
火鸡、玉米(maize)、南瓜和红莓酱是代表第一次感恩节的象征。这些象征经常出现在假日的装饰上和问候卡上。特别是玉米，代表清教徒移民的死中求生经历。用在餐桌或门上的装饰，玉米代表着收获和秋天。
又甜又酸的红莓酱是第一次感恩节餐桌上的食物，今天的餐桌上也有它。小红莓(鹤莓，crane-berry)是一种又小又酸的野莓，生长在麻塞诸塞州和新英格兰各州的沼泽地区。印第安人用它的果实治疗各种炎症，用果汁来染红地毯和毛毯。他们教导清教徒怎样使用糖和水来烹饪小红莓，做成红莓酱。印地安人把小红莓叫做“ibimi”，意思是“苦莓”。移民则叫这些“鹤莓”，因为小红莓的花把草茎拖的`倒垂下来，很像脖子细长的白鹤。今天在新英格兰地区依旧生长小红莓。
1988年在纽约市的圣约翰大教堂举行了一场别开生面的感恩节晚宴。在超过4千人的来宾中有全国印第安部落的代表，还有后来到达美洲的移民的子孙。以晚宴的形式，美国人公开承认印第安土著对于美国第一次感恩节的贡献，并感谢印第安人分享他们的经验和技巧。没有印第安人的教导，最初的清教徒移民不可能在美洲存活下来。

感恩节每年11月的第四个星期四是感恩节 (Thanksgiving Day) 。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倍感亲切。
感恩节的由来要一直追溯到美国历史的发端。1620年，著名的“五月花”号船满载不堪忍受英国国内宗教迫害的清教徒102人到达美洲。1620年和1621年之交的冬天，他们遇到了难以想象的困难，处在饥寒交迫之中，冬天过去时，活下来的移民只有50来人。这时，心地善良的印第安人给移民送来了生活必需品，还特地派人教他们怎样狩猎、捕鱼和种植玉米、南瓜。在印第安人的帮助下，移民们终于获得了丰收，在欢庆丰收的日子，按照宗教传统习俗，移民规定了感谢上帝的日子，并决定为感谢印第安人的真诚帮助，邀请他们一同庆祝节日。 在第一个感恩节的这一天，印第安人和移民欢聚一堂，他们在黎明时鸣放礼炮，列队走进一间用作教堂的屋子，虔诚地向上帝表达谢意，然后点起篝火举行盛大宴会。第二天和第三天又举行了摔跤、赛跑、唱歌、跳舞等活动。第一个感恩节非常成功。其中许多庆祝方式流传了300多年，一直保留到今天。
