Yuanxiao, there are many kinds of tastes: black sesame, blueberry, chocolate, etc., which I love to eat black sesame seed, skin slippery (ha ha, how so sound like soap? Bite filling came out, not to be so sweet death, also not so pale. The food is delicious. : hey...

We also went to see the lantern. Just into the gate square, you can see two high carried the head of the phoenix, our vendors neatly standing below, his mouth kept Shouting: "through pass by dont miss!" Go to the middle, they saw a large bowl and glaze color clear, really like the blue and white porcelain of Ming dynasty.

Large bowl of the end of the three is the ice sculptures, all with classical style houses! Bowl on the left is an ox, tiger, Chinese zodiac sheep... Yi? Is this a mouse or a squirrel?

In the evening, we watched the fireworks. Oh! From iron square has been out two or three kilometers, this also proved a riddle: what is the worlds longest car car? A: a traffic jam.

Fireworks are red, orange, yellow, green, purple, the most beautiful fireworks is also the biggest: bam, bam, bam, three golden fireworks, formed a golden tree, beautiful. And "golden waterfall", "color flower"...

This year, we gladly make the Lantern Festival.

元宵节到了，民间有三个习俗：一、吃元宵;二、看花灯;3、放烟花，今天我就在这儿说一说。

元宵有很多种口味：黑芝麻、蓝莓、巧克力等等，其中我最爱吃黑芝麻的了，外皮滑溜溜的(呵呵，听起来怎么那么像肥皂?)咬一口馅就出来了，不是那么甜得发腻，也没有那么淡。好吃!嘻……

我们也去看了花灯。刚入广场大门，可以看到两只高抬着头的凤凰，下面整齐地站着卖荧光棒的小贩，嘴里不停喊着：“走过路过别错过!”走到中间，看见一个大碗，釉色清晰明朗，真像明代的青花瓷!碗的下面还有还有“配餐”:大葱、辣椒、彩椒、西红柿。大碗的前面是一个小舞台，舞台后有八只张牙舞爪的长龙，威风凛凛。大碗的后面是三座冰雕，全是具有古典风格的房屋!大碗的左面是十二生肖有牛、虎、羊……咦?这是老鼠还是松鼠?

晚上，我们看了烟花。呵!从铁人广场一直排出两、三千米，这也验证了一个谜语：世界上最长的车是什么车?答：堵车。我不耐烦了，和妈咪下车看。烟花有红色、橙色、金黄色、绿色、紫色，那最好看的烟花也是最大的：砰，砰，砰，三个金黄色的烟花，形成了一个金黄色的树，漂亮极了。还有“黄金瀑布”、“变色花”……

今年，我们欢欢喜喜的闹了元宵节。

今天是正月十五元宵节，早晨打完拳吃完了早饭，姥姥对我说：“今天是元宵节，大街上可热闹了，你想去看吗?”“好啊，我太想去看了，姥姥，我们走吧!”我高兴得都跳起来了。

我跟着姥姥从家里一出来，就听到了大街上敲锣打鼓的声音，还有各种音乐的声音，热闹极了。我们走到了建设路口，原本宽宽的马路现在已经是水泄不通了，真是人山人海，有的小孩子看不见还坐在大人的肩膀上呢。我慢慢地挤到了人群里面，这时正好看到踩高翘的过来了，他们能在高高的棍子上走得那么稳真是不简单呀!后面是骑毛驴的，呀还有大头乖乖，还有扭秧歌的……真是太好看了，我最喜欢的是舞龙，两条长长的龙像真的一样在半空中灵活地游来游去，真可爱!

一边欣赏着精彩的节目，我心里一边想，这些人要走那么长时间，还要给大家表演，我真想对他们说：“叔叔、阿姨、爷爷、奶奶你们辛苦了!”

Some township, bine... "Bang! Bang" rang again, and some bread with a small bee in fireworks, after the blast, emit the light of fireflies. The colorful decorated enveloped the entire lijin county.

正月十五到了，我和家人一起去看花灯。

街上可热闹了，人山人海的。七点十分到了，开始放烟花了，“砰……”的声音响起来，烟花有绿的、红的、黄的、紫的，五彩缤纷，绚丽多彩。看，一个“超大号”的烟花飞上了天，紧接着随着一声轰鸣，又绽放出了一个个小一号烟花布满了天空，有的像紫荆花、有的像菊花。有的乡市迎春花……又“砰!砰”的响了几声，有的烟花里面包着小蜜蜂，炸开以后，发射出萤火虫一样的光。五颜六色的彩花笼罩了整个利津县城。看黄金瀑布流淌下来了，每一根金丝落下来，闪闪的金花铺满了大地。正如唐代诗人李白所云：“飞流直下三千尺，疑是银河落九天。”

看完烟花，我们又去看花灯，我们看见了十二生肖，它们好像在向我们挥手，鼠、牛、虎、兔、龙、蛇、马……在向游人表示新春的祝福。再往前走，我们看见了迪士尼乐园，里面的米老鼠、唐老鸭等“主人”，它们演奏着各种乐器，真是歌舞升平，恭贺新岁啊!我们还看见了“三国演义”灯，有张飞、关羽、刘备三人，他们在桃园结拜兄弟，我仿佛听见了他们在说：“我们虽不能同年同日生，但愿我们同年同日死。“还有敲鼓的，打锣的，那声音的确美妙动听。

今天我过得真高兴。

The annual Lantern Festival, the mother would give I buy a rabbit lamp, but when I was big Lantern Festival is let me unforgettable.

每年的元宵节，妈妈都会给我买兔子灯，但是在我大班那年的元宵节却让我难以忘怀。

“今夜月明人尽望……”正月十五的月亮又大又圆，像玉盘似的。我们全体小朋友一起在丰镇公园里“溜”着心爱的灯。

丰镇公园里可真热闹，到处张灯结彩。一个个奇形怪状的小灯笼上还有一个个灯谜。有的人在看灯，有的人在猜灯谜……

我们的灯各有特点，吸引了很多游客。我拉的是红红的桃子灯，只要轻轻一拉它就会慢慢地打开，忽然从里面“飞”出一个腾云驾雾的孙悟空，游人看了不停地拍手叫好。小宇的孙悟空灯会挥动它的金箍棒。小李的龙灯会跑来跑去，眼睛还会发亮呢!小天拉的是最可爱的兔子灯，小乐也有一个会打开的莲花灯。

兴高采烈地拉着灯。我们一会儿并排向前跑，一会儿互相追逐，一会儿你追我赶。

所有的灯中，最多的是兔子灯，因为它善良、可爱，给我们的节日带来了幸福平安。

我们中华名族有许多传统的节日，具有名族特色，我喜欢过中国节。

he Lantern Festival is a very busy day. On the Lantern Festival this year, I went to the small square with my mom and dad to watch the Lantern Festival. When we walk on the road, I see the small square is a sea of people, very lively. I cant wait to get a small square, where the lights are all kinds of pagoda shaped, with lights, big fish shaped lamps, saw a whoosh, a fireworks into the sky, in the sky from colorful light.

One of the lanterns slowly rising into the sky and gradually drifted toward the east.

After watching the lights and returning home, I decided that next years Lantern Festival would also go to the small square to see the lights. I believe that the Lantern Festival next year will be more lively than this year.

The Lantern Festival, a year and a time to admire the lanterns. The foggy skies floats down the white snow, the whole earth will become holy LingJieBai. The lanterns in the street the top covered with a thin layer of white snow, Snow White foil with red lanterns and very beautiful. Cross street lights very high standing, the following red parapet tightly around the tall exuberant. Telegraph pole on the flags waving flags, lights flashing in the tree, have blue, red, yellow, and white, stone as the dazzling meteor.

The custom of the Lantern Festival is colorful and varied. For example: guess lantern riddles. Lantern riddle, is the symbol of wisdom, the south has such a game: guess everything about ten lantern riddle problem, can get the prize. Prize: a red lanterns or a light kongmin light. Open and dancing, walking on stilts, floats, is really very busy, very beautiful! The custom of put kongmin light you also dont strange? Red sky lantern is bearing the weight of the good wishes of the thousands of people, with the flame of passion, in the deep blue sky.

To say the Lantern Festival food, then, must belong to dumplings! Dumplings look round, white, big and small, filling is multifarious. With black sesame seed, rose, peanuts, glutinous rice, and fruits, all good.

I most like the Lantern Festival, the Lantern Festival not only can eat a bowl of delicious dumplings let me a big choice, and you can also view lamp, guess lantern riddles, to watch the fireworks! The sound of fireworks is ringing in the ear, the flow and the fireworks the deep blue sky reflected in boom. A gentle the moon hanging in the sky, as if also in watching the human this pair of scenery. Is also should be the ancients of that sentence: who can sit, see month where the smell of the lamp is not looks like.

Lantern Festival means years to the end, is about to start the New Year, in the New Year, may everyone can make a plan for yourself, go to finish it. I also have their own plan, that is: let me well continue to carry forward, write more beautiful articles, I writer dream to strive for. Im looking forward to the arrival of the Lantern Festival.

又是一年元宵节，又是一次赏花灯。雾蒙蒙的天空上飘洒下了洁白的雪花，整个大地都变得圣凌洁白。街上的花灯顶端覆盖着一层薄薄的白雪，白雪衬托着红灯笼十分美丽。十字街口的彩灯旺火高高的矗立着，下面的红色栏杆紧紧的围着那高大的旺火。电线杆上的彩旗迎风招展，树上的彩灯一闪一闪，有蓝、有红、有黄、还有白，就像一颗颗耀眼的流星一般。

元宵节的习俗多彩多样。比如：猜灯谜。灯谜，是智慧的象征，南方有这样一个比赛规则：凡事猜对十道灯谜题的人，都能获得奖品。奖品是：一个红灯笼或是一盏孔明灯。还有扭秧歌的、踩高跷的、开彩车的，真是热闹非凡，美不胜收啊!放孔明灯的习俗大家也不陌生吧?火红的孔明灯承载着上千个人民的美好愿望，带着热情的火焰，升上了深蓝的天空。

要说元宵节的美食，那么，非汤圆莫属了!汤圆的外表圆溜溜的，白白的，有大有小，馅更是五花八门。有黑芝麻的、玫瑰的、花生的、糯米的、还有水果的，个个好吃。

我最喜欢过元宵节了，元宵节不但可以吃上一碗美味的汤圆让我大饱口福，而且，还可以观灯，猜灯谜，赏烟花哩!烟花清脆的响声在耳边此起彼伏，川流不息，烟花把深蓝的天空映照的万紫千红。一轮温文尔雅的明月挂在天边，仿佛也在观赏人间的这副美景。也正应了古人的那句：谁家见月能闲坐，何处闻灯不看来。

过了元宵节也就意味着年要过完了，新的一年即将开始，在新的一年，或许每个人都会为自己制定一个计划，去完成它。我也有自己的计划，那就是：让我的文笔继续发扬下去，写出更多美丽的文章，争取实现我的作家梦。我期待着下一个元宵节的到来。

Again the fifteenth day of the first, one of the most lively festival Lantern Festival in our country, the day we have a happy family.

The significance of the Lantern Festival has a custom is to eat dumplings, let every reunion, grandma "decentralization" tonight, give me an important task of boiled dumplings for execution.

I am excited, boiled dumplings for the first time you get such a high evaluation, Im flattered.

Her delicious homemade dumplings, feel good, so happy in my heart. Looking forward to next year to do better when the Lantern Festival to eat dumplings for you.

又到了正月十五，我国最热闹的节日之一元宵节，那一天我们一家过得其乐融融。

元宵节有个习俗就是吃汤圆，寓意着让每家团团圆圆，今晚奶奶“权力下放”，把煮汤圆的重要任务交给我来执行。我把它看成一件十分重大的任务，生怕煮破了，因此心里好像揣着一只小兔子“怦怦”直跳。我想起以前奶奶教我煮汤圆的经验：先将糯米粉用开水调和成皮，注意水不可以太多，多了会过稀;也不能过少，少了没粘性。然后取一块皮在手掌中搓成圆形，再用手指在上面按一个窝，把芝麻捣碎做馅，放在里面“包”好。放馅时一定不可以太贪心，否则会把皮的“肚子”给撑破的。终于包好后，可以下锅了。我又按照奶奶说的煮汤圆的四个诀窍：“开水下锅，慢水煮，点冷水，勤换水”于是便将自己辛辛苦苦做好的元宵放进水里。没多久，可以起锅了，掀开盖子，只见一个个雪白的汤圆漂浮在水上，彼此紧贴着，好像一粒粒大珍珠，看得我直流口水，将它们舀到碗里，闻着那香喷喷的味道，忍不住先咬了一口，真好吃啊，又香又糯。我刚把汤圆端上桌，大家就狼吞虎咽的吃开了。大家高兴地吃完了我煮的汤圆，“美食家”奶奶还给我打了一个九十五分，夸我长大了，懂事了。我兴奋不已，第一次煮汤圆就得到这么高的评价，我心里美滋滋的。

品尝着自己亲手做的汤圆，觉得特别好吃，心里特别开心。盼望着明年元宵节时再做更好吃的汤圆给大家品尝。

“正月十五闹元宵”，每年春节过后的农历正月十五是我国的元宵节，又叫“灯节”和“上元节”，是中国自古以来就在民间流传的另一个已有2000多年历史的传统佳节。

元宵节起源于西汉王朝。相传汉惠帝死后飞扬跋扈的吕后篡权，任用了大量吕氏亲信，宦官当权。吕后死后，公元前179年，汉文帝在老忠臣协助下登基，博采众议，在正月十五这天，一举扫除了诸吕残余势力。因古代“夜”与“宵”同义。正月又叫“元月”，为了纪念正月十五这一天，汉文帝就将此日定为“元宵节”。从此，经隋至唐，到唐玄宗李隆基时，为显示大唐兴盛，国泰民安，逐沿用旧俗，每到“元宵节”这天，张灯结彩，欢庆狂欢，“一曲笙歌春如海，千门灯火夜似昼”，使这一节日更加兴盛。

节日期间，灯月交辉，游人如织，正如唐代诗人张说所描绘的：“花萼楼前雨露新，长安城里太平人。龙衔火树千灯焰，鸡踏莲花万岁春”。李商隐的诗曰：“月色灯光满帝城，香车宝辇溢通衢”，描绘了当时观灯时车水马龙的宏大场面。流传到宋代，在元宵之夜悬灯欢乐的规模更加盛况空前，花灯的装饰造型也更精美，灯节带给人们更多欢乐，更多光明。诗人苏东坡有诗云：“灯光家之有，笙歌处之楼”;大词人辛弃疾也曾有著名词作：“东风夜放花千树，更吹落，星如雨。宝马雕车香满路。风箫声动，玉壶光转，一夜鱼龙舞。”这些诗词描绘了当时元宵佳节满城花灯齐放，通宵达旦，歌舞笙乐的壮观场面。到了清代，据《京都风俗志》记载：清代太平年间每年元宵节都是：“通街委巷，灯光星布珠悬，皎如白昼”，“王孙贵客、士女儿童，倾城出游，谓之逛灯”，由此可见元宵节观灯的热闹场面。

到近代，这一习俗代代流传，至今仍经久不衰。老百姓家家户户都在门前和屋内悬挂彩灯、大红灯笼，全家团圆，围坐一起，观花赏灯吃元宵，象征着“团圆美满，丰收和睦”，同时这一天还标志着是春节欢乐的最后一幕，热热闹闹过完了“元宵节”，才算是真正过完了春节。

宋代诗人欧阳修诗曰：“去年元宵时，花市灯如昼。月上柳梢头，人约黄昏后。”说明在这灯好月明人团圆的喜庆佳节里，亲朋好友相约团聚，早已是民间庆春节的重要习俗。如果在团聚时捧去一把鲜花，携带上一个花篮，让美丽娇艳的鲜花送来一个吉祥幸福的欢乐好运，会给朋友相聚增添无比欢乐的心情，这时应该选用寓意团团美美、如意祥瑞的花材，如火红的火鹤花、满枝悬挂形似红爆竹的炮仗花、鲜艳的孔雀草、象征明媚春天光明的银芽柳、闪烁洁白繁星的满天星等，都会展现出一片祥和安乐的氛围，为亲朋好友送去一年吉祥幸福的祝愿。

The Lantern Festival is very want to go to the lantern, but found that my parents didnt finish the work after go home.

元宵节很想去看花灯，可是回家后发现爸妈的工作都没完成。

妈妈让我先写好作业，大部分作业在学校里就完成了，剩下的我一会儿就做好了。

可是爸妈还是没做完。为了等他们，我又看了一会儿书。

好不容易，爸妈的工作都做好了。妈妈说没来得及做饭，还是出去吃吧，等晚上回来在家里煮汤圆就是了。

可是我都饿了，去哪里吃饭呢?妈妈问我。后来我们又去了味千拉面。

虽然是团圆的日子，餐馆里的人也不少，点了餐还要等。我和妈妈先去旁边的书店转转。书店里没有人，我有点累，就坐在地上看了，妈妈说只要不到处爬就可以。

吃了饭，我们就往世纪广场走，但是很遗憾，那里没有花灯。爸爸说现在去豫园太晚了，我们只好往江边开，爸爸又开始在科技馆附近的路上辨不出方向了。我真有点儿累了，躺在妈妈的腿上，迷迷糊糊地睡着了。

过了好久好久，车停了，发动机的声音也没有了，妈妈叫我，我还以为到江边了呢，结果是已经回到家了。妈妈说，到江边的时候看我睡得那么好，不忍心叫醒我，就掉头开回来了。

连正大门口的灯都没有看到，我不高兴了好一阵子……后来大家吃了汤圆，节就这么过了。

希望明年的元宵节能去看花灯啊!

“汤圆汤圆送汤圆，香香的汤圆是圆又圆……”，这是一首过元宵时唱的《汤圆》。因为，大伙儿都说吃汤圆，梦也圆，所以，阿姨唱，叔叔唱，伯伯唱，大伙儿唱。

在放假的几天中，我最快乐的一天，要属元宵节了。那天，伯伯来我家吃饭，伯伯刚坐下就问我：“凡琪，你放过烟花吗”我回答道：“放过一两次。”伯伯接着说：“那你还想放一次吗”我说道：“当然想啦!可是妈妈偏说说放烟花有危险!不让我多放。”伯伯说：“不用怕，我跟你妈说，她会同意的!”我高兴得蹦了 “三千尺”，我大喊道：“又可以放烟花了!又可以放烟花了!”我扭过头对伯伯说：“还是伯伯最爱我!”伯伯对我笑了笑，又回头看他的报纸去了。

吃过饭后，伯伯给了我一大袋烟花，和三根香，就让我和妈妈下楼去放。到了楼下的石头椅子旁，我先把烟花管放在地上放好后，然后用点燃的香将烟花管旁的引子点燃，没过多久，烟花像火箭一样“嗖”的一声，飞上了天空，然后，“碰”的一声在天空散开了，真像一朵花开了!后来，我看了看，有红的，有黄的，有紫的，有绿的，各种各样，各色各异，真好看!

后来，我回家后，妈妈端上了一碗汤圆给我吃，啊!元宵节我真喜欢你!

元宵节是我国四大节日之一，元宵节一过，春节也算过完了，所以这一天是非常隆重。以前，人们主要以看花灯、舞龙为主，现在主要以看花灯为主。

今天晚上七点，我就拉着爸爸到文化宫等着阿姨们做元宵。到了七点半，文化宫外人山人海，大多数人都是来吃元宵的。元宵煮熟了，好多人都在排队，有一些人，比较幸运，因为他们都在津津有味的吃着热乎乎的元宵。

到了八点整，文化宫外不在热闹，你一定觉得很奇怪，这是为什么呢?因为大家都去运动场外准备看烟花。开始放了，烟花像一个淘气的小孩子，一个个的，从纸箱里钻出来，飞向高高的、美丽的夜空。随着一声声震耳欲聋的响声，夜空绽放出一朵朵绚丽多彩的花朵，它们的形状颜色各不相同，有五颜六色的满天星，金黄色的蒲公英……

随着一声声炮响，人们在惊呼，赞叹，脸上露出了幸福的笑容。烟花表演在欢呼声中悄悄结束，但刚刚那一幕幕精彩的烟花表演，将永远留在我的脑海里。

到了夜晚，我和全家人走在大街上，到处是“轰轰隆隆”声音，满天都是烟花，虽不如白昼，但也是灯火通明了。大街上，看着走来走去的人们，听着震耳欲聋的爆竹声;感受着热闹的气分;我的心也不由得欢快起来。一路上，所有的店面都张灯节彩，路旁的花灯闪朔光彩，天上的圆月照耀着大地，真是“有灯无日不美人，有日无灯不算春”。

走出了花街，我的目光又凝聚在天上的烟花上面，犹如即将开放的花雹，突然开放，散下一片片花蕊。到处都是开放的花朵，犹如春梅争芳，含雹怒放。

Thanksgiving Day in America is a time to offer thanks, of family gatherings and holiday meals. Atime of turkeys, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. A time for Indian corn, holidayparades and giant balloons.

在美国，感恩节是一个感谢恩赐，家庭团聚，合家欢宴的日子;是一个家家餐桌上都有火鸡、填料、南瓜馅饼的日子;是一个充满了印第安玉米、假日游行和巨型气球的日子。

The Pilgrims who sailed tothis country aboard the Mayflower were originally members of the EnglishSeparatist Church (a Puritan sect)。 They had earlier fled their home in England and sailed to Holland (The Netherlands) to escape religiouspersecution. There, they enjoyed more religious tolerance, but they eventuallybecame disenchanted with the Dutch way of life, thinking it ungodly. Seeking abetter life, the Separatists negotiated with a London stock company to financea pilgrimage to America. Most of those making the trip aboard the Mayflowerwere non-Separatists, but were hired to protect the companys interests. Onlyabout one-third of the original colonists were Separatists.

乘 “五月花”来到这个国度的旅行者(朝圣者)原本是英国分离者地下教会清教徒，他们的家在英国，因不堪忍受国内的宗教迫害，他们逃亡到荷兰。在荷兰，他们享受了更多的宗教信仰自由，但最终却意识到在荷兰的这种生活方式是对他们的主的亵渎。为了寻求更好的生活，他们与伦敦贸易公司协商，由该公司资助他们到美国。在这趟旅途中，船上只有大约1/3的乘客是清教徒，其他大多数人并非分离派清教徒，而是公司雇佣来保护其利益的人员(契约奴)。

The Pilgrims set ground at Plymouth Rock onDecember 11, 1620. Their first winter was devastating. At the beginning of thefollowing fall, they had lost 46 of the original 102 who sailed on theMayflower. But the harvest of 1621 was a bountiful one. And the remainingcolonists decided to celebrate with a feast ——including 91 Indians who had helped the Pilgrims survive their first year. Itis believed that the Pilgrims would not have made it through the year withoutthe help of the natives. The feast was more of a traditional English harvestfestival than a true “thanksgiving” observance. It lasted three days.

1620年 12月11日，旅行者们在“普利茅斯石”登陆。他们的第一个冬季是灾难性的，第二年秋天来临时，原来的102名乘客只剩下56人。但1621年他们获得了大丰收，这些幸存的殖民者们决定和帮助他们度过困难的91名印第安人一起飨宴庆祝。他们相信，若没有当地居民的帮助，他们是不可能度过这一年的。这次节日的盛宴不仅仅是一个“感恩”仪式，它更像英国传统的丰收庆典。庆典持续了三天。

Governor William Bradford sent “four men fowling” after wild ducks andgeese. It is not certain that wild turkey was part of their feast. However, itis certain that they had venison. The term “turkey” was used by the Pilgrims to mean any sort of wild fowl.

总督布雷德福派了“四人捕鸟队”去捕捉野鸭和野鹅。我们现在并不能确定是否有野生火鸡在当时的筵席上，但筵席上肯定有鹿肉。当时，朝圣者用“火鸡”一词来代表各种野禽。

Another modern staple at almost every Thanksgivingtable is pumpkin pie. But it is unlikely that the first feast included thattreat. The supply of flour had been long diminished, so there was no bread orpastries of any kind. However, they did eat boiled pumpkin, and they produced atype of fried bread from their corn crop. There was also no milk, cider,potatoes, or butter. There was no domestic cattle for dairy products, and thenewly-discovered potato was still considered by many Europeans to be poisonous.But the feast did include fish, berries, watercress, lobster, dried fruit,clams, venison, and plums.

现在，几乎每家感恩节餐桌上都有南瓜馅饼――感恩节的另一种主食。但在当年的第一次庆典上却不可能有这种食品。因为面粉奇缺，所以面包、馅饼、糕点等食物都没有。但他们却吃了煮南瓜，并用收获的玉米制成了一种油炸面包。也没有牛奶、苹果酒、土豆和黄油。没有驯养的奶牛，自然没有牛奶;而新发现的土豆被很多欧洲人认为是有毒的。第一次庆典上有鱼、草莓、豆瓣菜、龙虾、干果、蛤、鹿肉、李子等。

This “thanksgiving” feast was not repeated the following year. But in 1623, during asevere drought, the pilgrims gathered in a prayer service, praying for rain.When a long, steady rain followed the very next day, Governor Bradfordproclaimed another day of Thanksgiving, again inviting their Indian friends. Itwasnt until June of 1676 that another Day of Thanksgiving was proclaimed.

紧接着的第二年(1622)却没有举行“感恩”庆典。到了1623年，发生了一场严重的旱灾，朝圣者们聚集到一起，举行了虔诚的祁雨仪式，刚好在第二天，一场充沛的大雨从天而降。威廉布雷德福总督宣布再次庆祝感恩节，并再次邀请了他们的印第安朋友。之后数年无感恩节，直到1676年6月，感恩节才再次被提出。

On June 20, 1676, the governing council ofCharlestown, Massachusetts, held a meeting to determine how best to expressthanks for the good fortune that had seen their community securely established.By unanimous vote they instructed Edward Rawson, the clerk, to proclaim June 29as a day of thanksgiving. It is notable that this thanksgiving celebrationprobably did not include the Indians, as the celebration was meant partly to bein recognition of the colonists recent victory over the “heathen natives,”
