感恩节英语作文中文翻译：
感恩节是美国国定假日中最地道、最美国式的节日，而且它和早期美国历史最为密切相关。
1620年，一些朝圣者（或称为清教徒）乘坐"五月花"号船去美国寻求宗教自由。他们在海上颠簸折腾了两个月之后，终于在酷寒的十一月里，在现在的马萨诸塞州的普里茅斯登陆。
在第一个冬天，半数以上的移民都死于饥饿和传染病，活下来的人们在第一个春季开始播种。整个夏天他们都热切地盼望着丰收的到来，他们深知自己的生存以及殖民地的存在与否都将取决于即将到来的收成。后来，庄稼获得了意外的丰收，所以大家决定要选一个日子来感谢上帝的恩典。多年以后，美国总统宣布每年十一月的第四个星期四为感恩节。感恩节庆祝活动便定在这一天，直到如今。
感恩节庆祝模式许多年来从未改变。丰盛的家宴早在几个月之前就开始着手准备。人们在餐桌上可以吃到苹果、桔子、栗子、胡桃和葡萄，还有葡萄干布丁、碎肉馅饼、各种其它食物以及红莓苔汁和鲜果汁，其中最妙和最吸引人的大菜是烤火鸡和番瓜馅饼，这些菜一直是感恩节中最富于传统意义和最受人喜爱的食品。
人人都赞成感恩节大餐必需以烤火鸡为主菜。火鸡在烘烤时要以面包作填料以吸收从中流出来的美味汁液，但烹饪技艺常因家庭和地区的不同而各异，应用什幺填料也就很难求得一致。
今天的感恩节是一个不折不扣的国定假日。在这一天，具有各种信仰和各种背景的美国人，共同为他们一年来所受到的上苍的恩典表示感谢，虔诚地祈求上帝继续赐福。

Thanksgiving Day is the most truly American of the national Holidays in the United States and is most closely connected with the earliest history of the country.
In 1620, the settlers, or Pilgrims, they sailed to America on the May flower, seeking a place where they could have freedom of worship. After a tempestuous two-month voyage they landed at in icy November, what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts.
During their first winter, over half of the settlers died of[1] starvation or epidemics. Those who survived began sowing in the first spring.
All summer long they waited for the harvests with great anxiety, knowing that their lives and the future existence of the colony depended on the coming harvest. Finally the fields produced a yield rich beyond expectations. And therefore it was decided that a day of thanksgiving to the Lord be fixed[2]. Years later, President of the United States proclaimed the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving Day every year. The celebration of Thanksgiving Day has been observed on that date until today.
The pattern of the Thanksgiving celebration has never changed through the years. The big family dinner is planned months ahead. On the dinner table, people will find apples, oranges, chestnuts, walnuts and grapes. There will be plum pudding, mince pie, other varieties of food and cranberry juice and squash. The best and most attractive among them are roast turkey and pumpkin pie. They have been the most traditional and favorite food on Thanksgiving Day throughout the years.
Everyone agrees the dinner must be built around roast turkey stuffed with a bread dressing[3] to absorb the tasty juices as it roasts. But as cooking varies with families and with the regions where one lives, it is not easy to get a consensus on[4] the precise kind of stuffing for the royal bird.
Thanksgiving today is, in every sense, a national annual holiday on which Americans of all faiths and backgrounds join in to express their thanks for the year' s bounty and reverently ask for continued[5] blessings.
感恩节作文500字
在西方国家，有一个感恩节，那个节日是用来感谢他们的上帝耶和华给予他们住所和食物的。
可是我却并不认为我们感谢的应该是上帝。我们该感谢的，应该是千百万个无私奉献的劳动人民才对。
如果没有纺织工，我们就没有现在这些花花绿绿的衣服；如果没有建筑工，这些楼房将如何拔地而起；如果没有搬运工，工具粮食将无法运输；如果没有人挖掘，将没有水井和窑洞；如果每一项工作都很重要，尽管它们有的并不起眼，但它们却是不可以缺少的工作。
就像农民。耕耘播种可是十分累的活儿，可他们却从没有抱怨一句。初春，春意盎然，鸟语花香，正是游玩的好时节。可是他们却驾着耕耘机一刻不停地吭吭吭地耕着地。既没有流连春色，也没有游手好闲，而是辛勤地播种插秧。夏天，烈日当头，农民们却头顶烈日，汗流夹背地为稻谷施肥、除虫，每天起早贪黑。春天的辛勤，夏天的努力，为的全是秋天的丰收。看着推车上一堆堆的谷子，我们怎能不感激呢？
有了农民的辛勤耕耘，才有了我们口中的粮食，碟中的蔬菜。如果没有农民，这些食物将不复存在。
世界上没有上帝，我们该感谢的应该是成千上万的劳动人民。
双手创造成果，千万个劳动人民用自己的双手创造了我们现在美好的世界，创造了我们现在幸福的生活。
感恩节时，让我们感谢成千上万位劳动人民吧！
祝他们幸福平安，吉祥如意！
