英语播客初级版 第310期(外教讲解):感恩节的活动
A: So what are you doing for Thanksgiving?
你们感恩节都做些什么?
B: Not much really. It's more of an American tradition, so back home we don't really celebrate it. In fact, I am not even sure of what exactly is beingcelebrated!
没有很多的事，这个是美国的传统，回到家我们并不过这个节。我甚至不确定究竟要庆祝哪些东西。
A: Well you know, it's a time to get together with all your family and be thankful for everything!
嗯，你知道的，这是一个大家聚到一起的时候，对很多事进行感恩。
B: Yeah but, how did this holiday come to be?
是的，但是，这个节日是什么样子的呢?
A: Well, the first settlers of Massachusetts arrived there because of religious persecution from England and King James. Once in the New World, they befriended an native named Squanto, who taught them how to harvest food from the area such as corn.
嗯，第一个移民到马萨诸塞赛州的人是为了躲避英格兰的宗教和詹姆斯国王的迫害。一旦到达新大陆，他们和当地的斯匡托成为朋友，斯匡托教会了他们如何种植当地的食物，比如玉米。
B: Interesting! I am amazed how big and delicious thanksgiving dinners are!
很有趣!我很好奇盛大有美味的感恩节晚餐会是什么样的。
A: Come to my house for Thanksgiving! We are having turkey, pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes with gravy, and lots of stuffing!
来我家过感恩节吧!晚餐有火鸡，南瓜派，捣碎的土豆和面粉，还有各种馅。
