译文：

1--你知道圣诞节是关于什么的吗？
2--不知道。我的老师曾经告诉过我一次，但我没记住。
1--你看，圣诞节这个单词里面有一个“圣”。
2--哦，是基督的生日。
1--实际上，现在大部分美国人都把圣诞节看成是互赠礼物的节日，却忘了它还有宗教因素。
2--是的，我老师曾告诉过我。不过我给忘了。我知道另一个关于宗教的额节日，基督复活的节日，感恩节，对不对？
1--感恩节？不是的，你说的是复活节。关于感恩节你知道多少？
2--我知道人们在那一天吃火鸡，仅此而已。
1--实际上感恩节是美国的全国性节日，这与美国的历史密不可分。当初英国人到达美洲大陆，资源不够，整天挨饿，所以他们现在用这个节日感谢救助过他们的土著印第安人。
感恩节放假几天？
2--一天。
1--才一天？
