素材1:關(guān)于感恩節(jié)的美食文化
感恩節(jié)食譜的擇選關(guān)鍵在于:食物要有好的寓意,要能夠表達(dá)出對(duì)好年頭、對(duì)好運(yùn)氣的感恩之心,以及與朋友、家人共同分享的寬宏之心,F(xiàn)如今,人們準(zhǔn)備感恩節(jié)大餐什么都不缺,唯一可能碰到的困難就是缺乏想象力和創(chuàng)造力。
Edward Winslow's account details that "they went out and killed five deer" and mentions that "our governor sent four men on fowling" and that "they four, in one day, killed as much fowl as, with a little help beside, served the company almost a week." While it is possible that turkeys may have been killed, it is more likely that ducks or geese were the primary targets.
根據(jù)愛德華·溫斯洛的記載,他們那時(shí)外出捕殺了五頭鹿。“長(zhǎng)官共派了四個(gè)人去抓鳥。這四個(gè)人運(yùn)氣不錯(cuò),一天就找到了幾乎夠一周吃的東西。”這些人有可能殺火雞來慶賀,但鴨子和鵝更可能成為那時(shí)候人的首選。
In addition, the crops grown by both settler and Native American would have graced that early thanksgiving dinner. Corn, squash, potatoes, yams, even wheat to make bread were, in all probability, shared and enjoyed.
此外,在早期的感恩節(jié)晚餐中,當(dāng)時(shí)的移民和美洲土著會(huì)用各種農(nóng)作物,比如玉米、南瓜、土豆、山藥、甚至小麥等所有可能的材料去制作面包,然后一起享用。
Today there is such a large variety of food to choose from that a Thanksgiving Dinner can feature almost any main course. True, the traditional turkey is still the meat of choice, yet goose, duck, ham, even some of the sea's harvests can be used. In place of sweet potatoes, peas, greens, and even more exotic vegetables all make their way to this celebration of Thanksgiving and harvest.
如今的感恩節(jié)大餐可選的食物可謂五花八門,幾乎所有的菜都可以出現(xiàn)在晚餐中。沒錯(cuò),傳統(tǒng)的火雞依舊是肉類的選擇,而你還可選用鵝、鴨、火腿以及各種海產(chǎn)品。除了甜土豆之外,豌豆、各種綠色食物甚至國(guó)外泊來的蔬菜都成功地登上了感恩節(jié)盛宴的飯桌。
The key to a Thanksgiving menu is to choose foods that will represent the idea of giving thanks for a good year, a harvesting of good fortune, and the sharing of the bounty of your efforts with friends and family. In today's world, the only limit on preparing a Thanksgiving Dinner is an individual's imagination and creativity.

素材2:感恩
俗話說,滴水之恩當(dāng)涌泉相報(bào)。這句教育了一代又一代人,使中華民族成為世界上知道感恩戴德,懂禮貌的偉大民族。
其實(shí),懂得感恩的何止于人類呢·你看,羔羊雖然愚笨,但它懂得跪乳,感恩母親的辛勤養(yǎng)育。燕子雖然平凡,但它出巢后也知道反哺,報(bào)答母親的日夜辛勞。動(dòng)物尚且如此,作為萬物靈長(zhǎng)的人類,更應(yīng)該具備感恩的美德。
我降生人間,在濃濃的愛的氛圍中長(zhǎng)大。母親傾注所有愛的儲(chǔ)備,把我的生活塞得滿滿的。
母親給我的愛太多了。早上按時(shí)叫我起床,母親在我起床后便幫我整理好床鋪,送上一杯熱牛奶〈有時(shí)是杯溫開水〉,使我感到了暖暖的母愛;上學(xué)前您總是告訴我:“一定要趕上專車,以免遲到;在學(xué)校要認(rèn)真聽講,好好完成老師布置的作業(yè),放學(xué)晚,路上要注意安全。”每當(dāng)放學(xué)晚歸,看到母親翹首等待,我感到了絲絲牽掛的母愛,感到若大無比的“光明”。。。。。。
母親給我的愛太多太多了,它包含在您對(duì)我的囑咐里;您對(duì)我的勉勵(lì)里;您對(duì)我的關(guān)懷里;以及和您在我考試成績(jī)下降的責(zé)備里。。。。。。
數(shù)也數(shù)不清的母愛啊,為我鋪就了成長(zhǎng)的道路。當(dāng)我苦惱時(shí),為我排憂解難;當(dāng)我高興時(shí),是媽媽您與我分享快樂;當(dāng)我灰心時(shí),是媽媽您給我加油鼓勵(lì)。。。。。。
殷殷的母愛啊,你是甘甜的清泉,滋潤(rùn)著我幼小的心田,我將以我全部的勤奮來回報(bào)你!
感恩是美德,感恩是高尚的美德。有位哲人曾說過:“對(duì)曾經(jīng)幫助你的人的最好感謝是去幫助別人。”在幫助別人的同時(shí),你就成了高尚的人。
讓感謝作為一種習(xí)慣,成為人人都具有的高尚品德吧!
