感恩节
So as a federal and popular holiday in the us
Thanksgiving is one of the major holidays of the year um together with christmas and new year's of course
Exactly thanksgiving is part of the broadholiday season
Thanksgiving 是one of the major holidays
Right
Major holiday 就是一些主要的节日
在美国呢
主要的节日其实也就是比如说christmas
Christmas

然后还有thanksgiving
还有new year 对不对
Yes 哎
你们这个thanksgiving 的时候
你们放假是不是要放four days
Yes
It's four days
Um
It's one of the few holidays
Where many people will actually try to new new home and see their families
的确是他会有一个big family get together right yeah
会有一个家庭的聚聚的时光
所以呢 呃
美国人来说
这个thanksgiving 是很难得的
嗯
一家人团聚的一个时间
很多人都会travel back 对不对啊
就像我们春节一样
其实像spring fast food in china
Yeah Ah
The airports are very busy to say the least
嗯哼
机场都会特别特别忙碌
因为大家都忙着回家
Right 嗯
Exabsoluvery expensive plin tickets
哎
这个thanksgiving 你们是不是还叫turkey day
Yeah
Turkey 季节
Exactly because that is what we usually eat
嗯
Traditionally
就像中国的这个made out time day
就中中秋 我
我们有的时候也会把它称作是月饼节
月饼节 Yeah
Everybody
Everybody loves food
嗯 哎 Allen
Where was the first thanksgiving
Celebration
它是怎么样变成一个节日的
Yeah
刚来的呀
It's aa long story
嗯 说来话长
Long story
Yeah
But the first thanksgiving was celebrated by the pilgrims
Also known as the purittans
嗯
At plimouth to give thanks to god for guiding them safely to the new world
嗯 呃
第一个thanksgiving 是被一些pilgrims 一些移民
Pilgrims 在哪一个地方呢
Pilgrim 是在这个普利茅斯这个地方的一些移民
然后他们们是用来give thanks to god
感谢上帝啊
能够把他们guiding them safely to the new world
把他们安全的指引到了一个new world 新世界当中
为什么呢
其实这个故事应该追溯到back to the england
Right Yes
So actually in england the roman catholic church
Their leader is the pope
Yeah
Roman pope
罗马教皇差不多是在
呃
一六六零零年
或者说十六世纪呃左右对吧
那个时候罗马教皇还有church of england
Yes
So there was also the church of england
Who believe that the leader of the church should be found in a bible
Right
Jesus crisis leader of the church
嗯
And they have probleproblems for sure
非常的罗马教皇还有英国国教会非常的corrupt
Right
Very corrupt 的腐败
Corrupt
They really cared a lot about money in power
嗯哼
非常的corrupt
非常的腐败
Yeah
So the pilgms ms ded that they did not want to answer to the pope
And the pope also decided it was best to get rid of them as well right
那么有一群人呢
他们就相信the authority
权威呢
不是啊
属于某一个人的对吧
权威应该是in the bible 对不对
所以呢
他们就跟这个英国国教会
他们dislike ke each each ah
我想都不很喜欢
嗯 所以呢
这些清教徒就是反对罗马教皇和英国国教会的
这些清教徒被叫做purittn 人
Purittend which comes from the world purity
嗯 Right
So they believe they understood the bible
The best 嗯
对
Pure puritan
Puritine
就是说 呃
这些清教徒呢
他们相信他们所相信的这个
呃 理念
或者说这个教义是最准确的
呃 所以呢
他们决定要leave england rate
Yes they want to leave england
So they traveled
Eventually they ended up in america at limwith rock

And
And they ended up there
对 然后呢
他们就离开在英国
然后 呃 最终呢
他们是到了美国
Right in america
They thought they could find more freedom right to practice their religion
But it was a very difficult place to live
That first winter was very exactly
第一个冬天
这些啊
Purity 前这些清教徒呢
他们到达美国之后
他们觉得这个地方应该是他们可以寻求宗教自由的新世界
但是其实呢
第一个冬天特别特别的tough
特别very tough

在这个印第安人呢当中呢
有一个人叫squandto
那么他呢
因为之前的时候是接触过一些missionaries

他们来到了这个puritton 新的移民他们当中
然后呢
给他们带来了food
