课文讲解
I'm celebrating Thanksgiving for the first time this year! Mr. Smith, my English teacher, taught us about this holiday. In 1620, the first group of English Pilgrims arrived in America. Many of them died of hunger. But the Native Americans taught them to hunt and grow crops. To thank the Native Americans, the Pilgrims had a feast with them. Mr. Smith explained, "That's why many American families celebrate Thanksgiving today."
今年我将要第一次庆祝感恩节！我的英文老师史密斯先生教了我们一些关于这个节日的典故：1620年，第一批的英国清教徒抵达美洲大陆，很多人都饿死了；但美国原住民教导他们狩猎和种植作物。为了感谢美国原住民，这些清教徒和他们举办了一场盛宴。史蜜斯先生解释：「这正是为什么很多美国家庭现今庆祝感恩节的原因。」
Mom was happy when I told her about Thanksgiving. She said, "You're finally excited about school! How about I make a special Thanksgiving dinner?"
当我告诉老妈有关感恩节的故事时，她很开心。她说：「你终于对学校生活提起劲儿了！我来做个特别的感恩节大餐如何？」
