Being Thankful on Thanksgiving (1)

洋溢感恩之情的感恩節（1）

Thanksgiving is an important holiday in America. On this day, families get together and have a big dinner. It's a time to be thankful for the good things in your life.

The first American Thanksgiving was in 1621. About a hundred Pilgrims had arrived in America in 1620. The first winter was very difficult. It was cold, and the Pilgrims didn't have much food.

Luckily, they met the local Wampanoag Indians. These kind people gave the Pilgrims food, and in the spring, they taught them how to hunt and plant corn.

在美國，感恩節是重要節日。在這天，家人團圓共享豐盛晚餐。這是一個對生命中美好事物表達感恩的日子。

美國首次的感恩節是在一六二一年。大約有一百名清教徒在一六二○年抵達美國。第一年的冬天非常難熬。天寒地凍，而且清教徒沒有太多食物。

所幸，他們遇上當地的溫平昂印第安人。這些善良的人們提供食物，春天來時，還教他們如何狩獵以及種玉米。


difficult	adj.	難熬的；艱難的

Indian	n.	印第安人
