Being Thankful on Thanksgiving (2)

洋溢感恩之情的感恩節（2）

By the next autumn, life was much better. The Pilgrims had a good harvest and had lots of food for the winter.

They remembered the help of the Wampanoag people. The Pilgrims invited them to a big feast. Everybody sat down together to eat turkey and vegetables from the harvest, and the feast lasted for three days.

Today, Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November. Americans travel from all over to be with their families. They eat delicious food and think about all the things they are thankful for.

隔年秋天，生活好過了許多。清教徒農事豐收，有許多食物可以過冬。

清教徒牢記溫平昂印第安人的幫助，邀請他們共享盛宴，大家坐在一起享用火雞以及收割而來的蔬菜。這場盛宴持續了三天之久！

今日，感恩節訂於十一月的第四個星期四。美國人從各地回家團聚，他們享用美味的食物，心中想著所有感恩的事物。
