Origin Of Thanksgiving Day
Traditionally, Thanksgiving is a time "to give thanks" for a plentiful harvest, because it is celebrated on the last Thursday of November at the end of the harvest season.
However, the history of Thanksgiving is not clear, because the harvest season is celebrated in many countries and cultures. Americans commonly celebrate the first harvest of the "pilgrims", or the first colonists to settle in North America, in 1621. Many colonists came to the New World for religious freedom, because England did not allow diversity in religion. Native Americans and colonists did not always live together peacefully, but they did learn from each other by trading goods and farming methods. So many people celebrate the first successful harvest of the colonists.

我们最初知道“感恩节”，是关于“五月花号”（Mayflower）的故事。据说那时候不堪忍受英国国内宗教迫害的一群清教徒到达美洲。当时，美国的印第安人给移民送来了生活必需品，还特地派人教他们怎样狩猎、捕鱼和种植玉米、南瓜。于是，最初为了感谢美洲原住民，诞生了这么一个节日。

感恩节（Thanksgiving Day）是美国和加拿大共有的节日，由美国人民独创，原意是为了感谢上天赐予的好收成。在美国，自1941年起，感恩节是在每年11月的第四个星期四，并从这一天起(from this day on)将休假两天(two days off)；而加拿大与美国的感恩节时间不同，10月第二个星期一。像中国的春节一样，在这一天，成千上万的人们不管多忙(No matter how busy )，都要和自己的家人团聚(reunite)。加拿大的感恩节则起始于1879年，是在每年10月第二个星期一，与美国的哥伦布日相同。
