感恩节的由来英文版篇1
Thanksgiving day is celebrated mainly in America
and Canada. Much like the annual harvest festivals
celebrated in other countries throughout the world,
Thanksgiving Day was meant to pay our homage to the
Almighty for this bountiful harvest. While the purpose
and origin of the concept remains the same, the day of
its celebration differs from country to country. In the
United States, the holiday is celebrated on the fourth
Thursday in November while in Canada (which has an early
harvest cycle and season), the holiday is observed on
the second Monday in October, known as the Columbus Day.
Much like the Christian Thanksgiving day, it is
celebrated with pomp and show.
Since 1930, the end of Thanksgiving season marks
the beginning of Christmas shopping season. In Canada,




Thanksgiving holiday lasts for only three days but the
time period may vary in the US. Let's have a look at
the brief history of Thanksgiving in North America,
and Canada:
In North America: Thanksgiving Day was first
celebrated on September 8, 1565 in St. Augustine when
Pedro Menendez de Aviles and his men shared a feast with
the natives. After that Pilgrims held a three days feast
to make merriment on their enormous harvest.
In United States: The immigrants who sailed to this
country aboard the Mayflower were basically members of
the English Separatist Church (a Puritan sect). They
took shelter in Netherlands but soon were disgusted by
their lifestyle. They settled in United States with a
desire for a better lifestyle. But their beginning was
horrendous. The climate was unfavorable and many of
them died. But in 1621 they hard turmoil bore fruits
for them as there was a huge harvest. They celebrated
it with a feast with 91 Indians who had helped them
during their harsh times.
Thanksgiving was celebrated after that at
irregular intervals until Franklin Roosevelt, had set




it one week to the next-to-last Thursday of November
in order keeping an eye on xxmercial benefits as
Christmas was nearby. Allegations were brought against
this decision, which made the President to move
Thanksgiving back to its original date two years later.
And in 1941, Thanksgiving was finally sanctioned by
Congress as a legal holiday, as the fourth Thursday in
November.
In Canada: Probably the Americans who migrated to
Canada after American Independence brought with them
the practices of Thanksgiving. Initially it was
celebrated in English Canadian Society but later it
became a countrywide practice. Formally, Canadian
Thanksgiving Day was celebrated on April 5, 1872 on
behalf of the Prince of Wales' recovery from illness.
Innumerable transformations took place before the date
of celebration finally settled on the second Monday in
October in 1957.

Thanksgiving Day is an American holiday and not
celebrated in continental Europe. On the fourth
Thursday of each November, familiesand friends gather




together for the occasion to celebrate with a
traditionalturkey dinner, usually in the
mid-afternoon.
Thanksgiving originated as acelebration of the year's
harvest and is similar to the Mid- Autumn Festival
inChina.
This American tradition started in 1621 before
theUnited States of Americawas established. It was a
huge celebration for a hard-earned harvest the
firstyear after arriving in the New World.
OnSeptember 6, 1620, the Mayflower ship set sail
from Plymouth, Devon, England,taking all the English
Pilgrims(清教徒)tothe New World. The English Pilgrims
numbered
about
a
hundred
people,
and
leftEnglandtoescape religious persecution. Their
voyage to the New World was financed by Merchant
Adventurers, an English investorgroup.
ThePilgrims sailed sixty-six days, arrived in the
New Worldin November of the same year. They first
settled in a cornfield abandoned byNative Indians and
named it Plymouth Plantation.
Theyworked on the land with much difficulty and
were beset by a devastating plaguein which half of the




Pilgrim died in the long winter of 1620. In the spring
of1621, 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)tribecame to their help. The tribe taught the
Pilgrims how to work the earth andplant corn, beans,
pumpkins, squash and other crops.
The Thanksgiving feast in 1621
In late September 1621, the Pilgrimswere pleased
with their great harvest. To celebrate their first
harvest, thePilgrims wanted to thank God and the Native
Indian. They invited Squanto andthe entire Wampanoag
tribe that celebrate together in a shared feast.
It was said about ninety Wampanoag turned up, much
to the surprise of thePilgrims, whose population had
shrunk to no more than 50. The chief of the tribehad
his men hunt five deer to bring to the feast. The first
Thanksgiving dinnerhad an elaborate menu with venison,
wild turkey, goose, duck, crane, swan, andother
waterfowl; they also has local seafood: clams,
lobsters,
mussels, salmon,cod, bass, herring, shad, bluefish,
lots of eel and oysters. They also cookedplenty of
vegetables, among them squash, pumpkins and beans were




the mostpopular.
They ate raspberries, strawberries, grapes, plums,
cherries, blueberries,walnuts, chestnuts, acorns,
hickory and ground nuts, wheat flour, Indian cornand
corn meal and they made beer out of barley. The pumpkin
pudding was laterdeveloped into the traditional
pumpkin pie.
The first Thanksgiving dinner is said to have
lasted from three days to oneweek with much food, beer
and liquor. The Pilgrims and the Native Indian
sattogether on the ground, shared food with fingers or
used rough plates made ofwood or stale bread. They ran
races, played old English games and stagedparades
during the festive, with marches, drums and firing of
their muskets.
Thanksgiving related tothe Bible
The phrase hanksgiving initially xxes from the
Bible. ThePilgrims of Plymouth, however, were mainly
Puritans and strict CalvinistProtestants. They only
observed three religious holidays from the
NewTestament: Sunday Sabbath, Days of Fasting and
humiliation and marked favourable (mercies) in




xxmunity life.
Thefirst Thanksgiving festival was indeed a time
of happiness, fellowship andrejoicing for the
Pilgrims.
They arranged a friendly treaty with the NativeAmerican
Indians, built houses in the wilderness, and raised
sufficient cropsto feed themselves for the upxxing long
winter. The Pilgrims had bexxe thefirst generation of
settlers in this new land holding so much promise.
Fromthen on, Thanksgiving became a holiday for
celebrating the harvest in the New World, dates varied
from October to November eachyear over the next 150
years.
Thanksgiving, the Nationalholiday
The first National Thanksgiving was declared by the
Continental Congress in1777. On October 3, 1789,
President George Washington declared that the peopleof
theUnited Statesshould observe a day of public
thanksgiving and prayer on Thursday,26 November.
Many say the credit for the establishment of an
annual Thanksgiving holidayshould be given to Sarah
Josepha Hale. Being the editor of Ladies Magazine
andGodey's Lady's Book, she lobbied to the governors,




senators, and presidents fora national holiday and
published stories and recipes for that day in
hermagazine. After 36 years of crusading, she won her
battle. In 1863, buoyed bythe Union victory at
Gettysburg,President Lincoln proclaimed that November
26, would be a national ThanksgivingDay, to be observed
every year on the fourth Thursday of November.
In 1941, a Congressional Joint Resolution set the
fourth Thursday of Novemberas a national holiday for
Thanksgiving.
There you are - the brief history of Thanksgiving-
a day inAmericaforfamilies and friends to gather
together. The festival is also celebrated byAmericans
living abroad. Thanks to the Native Americans and the
Pilgrims whocreated this idea of a day of Thanksgiving
all those live in the New World can be thankful for all
we have and share thejoy with our family members and
friends.
Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival.

Thanksgiving Day is the most truly American of the
national holidays in the United Stales and is most
closely connected with the earliest history of the
country.
感恩节是美国国定假日中最地道、最美国式的节日，而且
它和早期美国历史最为密切相关。
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 an icy November, what
is now Plymouth, Massachusetts.
1620年，一些朝圣者(或称为清教徒 )乘坐尠五月花号船去
美国寻求宗教自由。他们在海上颠簸折腾了两个月之后，终
于在酷寒的十 一月里，在现在的马萨诸塞州的普里茅斯登陆。
During their first winter, over half of the
settlers died of 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 xxing 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. Years later, President of the United
States proclaimed the fourth Thursday of November as
Thanksgiving Day every y-ear The celebration of
Thanksgiving Day has been observed on that dale until
today.
