　　感恩節一年只有一天，但其實每天我們都在充滿著需要感恩的季節里享受所有與之有關的幸福感。

　　感恩節的由來：

　　In the United States, the fourth Thursday in November is called Thanksgiving Day. On that day, Americans give thanks for the blessings they have enjoyed during the year.

　　在美國，每年11月的一個周四稱為‘感恩節’，在那天，美國人為每年得到的上表示感激。

　　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.

　　感恩節是美國國定假日中地道、美國式的節日，而且它和早期美國歷史為密切相關。

　　In 1620, the settlers, or Pilgrims, they sailed to Americaon the May flower, seeking a place where they could have freedom of worship.

　　1620年，一些朝圣者（或稱為清教徒）乘坐""五月花""號船去美國尋求宗教自由。

　　After a tempestuous two-month voyage they landed at in icy November, what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts.

　　他們在海上顛簸折騰了兩個月之后，終于在酷寒的十一月里，在現在的馬薩諸塞州的普里茅斯登陸。

　　During their first winter, over half of the settlers died of starvation or epidemics. Those who survived began sowing in the first spring.

　　在優先個冬天，半數以上的移民都死于饑餓和傳染病，活下來的人們在優先個春季開始播種。

　　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.

　　整個夏天他們都熱切地盼望著豐收的到來，他們深知自己的生存以及殖民地的存在與否都將取決于即將到來的收成。

　　Finally the fields produced a yield rich beyond expectations. And therefore it was decided that a day of thanksgiving to the Lord be fixed.

　　后來，莊稼獲得了意外的豐收，所以大家決定要選一個日子來感謝的恩典。

　　Years later, President of the United States proclaimed the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving Day every year.

　　多年以后，美國總統宣布每年十一月的第四個星期四為感恩節。

　　The celebration of Thanksgiving Day has been observed on that date until today.
