這項對2000名慶祝感恩節(jié)的美國人進行的民意調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，26%的人希望今年能在餐桌上看到其他食物的選擇。

Celebrating an “alternative Thanksgiving” – breaking from the age-old meal traditions – is already taking off, with nearly half of Americans (45 percent) having already joined in on the trend or planning to in the future.

OnePoll與Hardee的一項新研究共同調(diào)查了2000名美國人的感恩節(jié)習(xí)慣，發(fā)現(xiàn)美國人對火雞已經(jīng)厭倦了——事實上，人們想改變感恩節(jié)大餐的方式，最重要的是提供火雞以外的食物。

A full 64 percent of Americans would switch out the standard bird – and 30 percent have already made the jump.

整整64%的美國人會放棄標準火雞，而且30%的人已經(jīng)做到了。

So why are Americans trying to break from Thanksgiving traditions this year? Cooking and preparing is just too much for nearly a third of respondents who want to make things easier on themselves and others, while 28 percent say they’re simply bored of the same thing year after year.

那么，為什么美國人今年要打破感恩節(jié)的傳統(tǒng)呢?對于近三分之一的受訪者來說，做飯和準備工作實在是太多了，他們想讓自己和他人過得更輕松，而28%的受訪者表示，他們只是厭倦了年復(fù)一年做同樣的事情。

其他改變感恩節(jié)的原因包括:想要減少或消除與感恩節(jié)相關(guān)的壓力(25%)，想要和家人一起創(chuàng)造新的傳統(tǒng)(23%)，想要在節(jié)日里做一些更低調(diào)的事情(21%)。
