留學(xué)生在中國 第7期 Christmas 圣誕節(jié)
你知道圣誕節(jié)是關(guān)于什么的嗎?
You:No,my teacher did told me once,but I can'tremember.
不知道。我的老師曾經(jīng)告訴過我一次，但我沒記住。
David:You can tell about the word Chiristmas,insideof the Christmas was the word Christ.
你看，圣誕節(jié)這個(gè)單詞里面有一個(gè)“圣”。
You:oh, the birth of the Christ.
哦，是基督的生日。
David:In fact, nowadays Americans mainly seeChristmas as a time to give gifts and forget the Christmas has religious basics.
實(shí)際上，現(xiàn)在大部分美國人都把圣誕節(jié)看成是互贈(zèng)禮物的節(jié)日，卻忘了它還有宗教因素。
You:Yes, my teacher did told me about that, but I forget. I know another one, too. Theresurrection of the Christ, it's Thanksgiving, right?
是的，我老師曾告訴過我。不過我給忘了。我知道另一個(gè)關(guān)于宗教的額節(jié)日，基督復(fù)活的節(jié)日，感恩節(jié)，對(duì)不對(duì)?
David:Thanksgiving,No.you are talking about the Easter. What do you know aboutThanksgiving?
感恩節(jié)?不是的，你說的是復(fù)活節(jié)。關(guān)于感恩節(jié)你知道多少?
You:I know that people eat turkey on Thanksgiving, that's about it.
我知道人們?cè)谀且惶斐曰痣u，僅此而已。
David:Actually, thanksgiving is a national holiday in the US, the origins are from the nationalhistory of the country. when the English builders arrived to the America, they suffered verysevere conditions. they didn't bring many resources, they were hungry and of course it was avery difficult time for them.
實(shí)際上感恩節(jié)是美國的全國性節(jié)日，這與美國的歷史密不可分。當(dāng)初英國人到達(dá)美洲大陸，資源不夠，整天挨餓，所以他們現(xiàn)在用這個(gè)節(jié)日感謝救助過他們的土著印第安人。
You:how long was the holiday?
感恩節(jié)放假幾天?
David:One day.
一天。
You:Only one day!
才一天?
