◎ 聽故事學文化
Thanksgiving is a holiday celebrated exclusively in North America, except Mexico. People in Canada celebrate Thanksgiving on the second Monday in October, while Americans celebrate it on the fourth Thursday in November every year. This year being 2021, Thanksgiving will be celebrated in the United States on November 25th. It’s just one month away from Christmas. And what is Thanksgiving? It’s a holiday where families get together for a big meal and express their gratitude for a good harvest and life. Thanksgiving is also a time to eat a lot of delicious food. Turkey is the most common main dish of a Thanksgiving dinner, with mashed potatoes and gravy. Other foods and desserts are typically served alongside the main dish, including cranberry sauce, pumpkin pies, and various tasty desserts. Football is also a tradition of Thanksgiving celebrations in the United States. Many people will watch football games while preparing their feasts, even if they aren’t sports fans. Some people like to spend time outside, enjoying the fresh autumn air. However you choose to observe this holiday, the most important thing is to be thankful for what you have.
感恩節是北美獨有的節日，墨西哥除外。加拿大人在十月的第二個星期一慶祝感恩節，而美國人在每年十一月的第四個星期四慶祝感恩節。今年是2021年，美國感恩節將會是在11月25日。距離聖誕節僅僅一個月的時間。什麼是感恩節呢？這是一個家庭聚在一起吃大餐，並對豐收和生命表達感激之情的節日。感恩節也是個可以吃很多美食的時候。火雞搭配馬鈴薯泥和肉汁是感恩節晚餐最常見的主菜。其他食物和甜點通常會伴隨著主菜，包含蔓越莓醬、南瓜派和各種各樣的美味甜點。美式足球也是美國傳統感恩節慶祝活動的一種。許多人會一邊準備盛宴一邊觀看足球比賽，即使他們不是體育迷。有些人則喜歡在戶外消遣時光，享受秋日的清新空氣。無論你選擇如何慶祝這個假期，最重要的是要感謝你所擁有的。
